KATE BUSH - new album out

   / Prog-Rock, UK          (posted in Danish 2011 Nov. 14th)



November 2011 Kate Bush released a new album called 50 Words For Snow - also to be heard on Spotify. It's the 10th album from this mysterious, talented woman in her 33 years long career.

Below: a fanmade video for the track called Wild Man, from the new album. It is an intriguing song about the Yeti.






Kate Bush started her carreer by sending demotapes to record companies, with no luck. Accidentally David Gilmour of Pink Floyd heard the tape, helped Kate Bush produce a better demotape and sending it to EMI. They signed her as 16-year-old. But the following years they held back, wanting her to improve her skills, they payed her some money in advance, wanting to hold on to her. Then she started playing in a band and afterwards released her 1st album.

She writes her own music / lyrics and did receive many awards, including several big ones, and did set / break some records on the hitlists.

Below is a fan-made video (she didn't release one by herself) of the 1st track of the album: Snowflake.






50 Words For Snow features 7 tracks that are not unexpectedly quite long ... from 7 to 14 minutes. Her 12-year-old son also appears on the first track, and several other people contributes with vocals on the later tracks.

Kate Bush is a shy person, she did only do (EDIT:) 2 tours... 1979 and 2014. At her last tour cameras were prohibited and the crew were succesful in stopping people filming. There's no live material from that tour on the internet.
