OFFICIAL KATE BUSH SUBFORUM

  Quote

A pop website WotYouGot have made a very bold claim this week, insisting that the elusive Kate Bush will be releasing a new studio album this year via EMI.

 

The news has been met with a lot of skepticism considering that there was a 12 year gap between Kate’s last two albums, but WotYouGot are sticking by their story and citing past exclusive scoops on releases from Beth Ditto and Lady GaGa to bolster their credibility on the Kate news.

 

If indeed true, the new album will mark Bush’s first since 2005′s Arial, which spawned a UK top five hit with “King of the Mountain” and reached the top three in the charts, eventually going Platinum.

 

First Stevie Nicks returns with her first album in a decade, now Kate Bush might be back with her first in five years. Who’s gonna crawl out of the woodwork next?

That would be awesome. Kate Bush's music is fantastic, very experimental like Bjork, yet so passionate and alive. Aerial was a pretty good album, but it lacked some of that hardcore peculiarity and art rock that made her earlier stuff so unique

Haha that was actually one of my least favorites. I loved Prologue, Sunset, An Architect's Dream, and King of the Mountain especially

king of the mountain is fucking epic.

but as a maths nerd i love pi. also it demonstrates that kate could sing the fucking phone book and it would be beautiful and moving beyond measure.

edit: i just saw maybe my favourite youtube comment ever

Discovering Kate Bush in 1980 was like discovering a Unicorn.

XD It's so true. I thought Pi was cleverly cool and even funny in a way, just with how she sang a big portion of the number as the chorus.

Another track that kicks ass is Cloudbusting. For some reason, it, and a lot of Kate Bush's music gives me the image of the Stone Age. Especially songs like King of the Mountain, Under Ice, and Watching Me Without You. It's probably just because I listen to ambient music all the time and demand visions from any music I hear

Will be very interesting to hear what she comes up with nowadays.

In a way her career resembles Peter Gabriel's; they're both highly respected for innovative and extravagant releases but they both also take highly extended periods of time to issue said platters. It seems always to be worth the wait though, so they get away with it!

i squeaked when i read the thread title

i can't say i was a huge fan of aerial (in comparison to the rest of her ouevre), for the reasons the dirt said. but i mean it was still great. i hope this has a bit more of the peculiarity and weirdness that i love so much about her earlier stuff.

confirmed!

The rumours are true - Kate Bush is releasing a new album this year. The singer will release Director's Cut on May 11; however, the record will see her revisit material from her classic two albums The Sensual World and The Red Shoes, with a reworked version of 'Deeper Understanding' set to be released as the first single in April. The LP will be released as a digital album (which includes a standard CD in a case-bound book), a deluxe CD (a three disc package, including a director’s cut, The Sensual World and re-mastered The Red Shoes) and in a case-bound book and two-disc vinyl.

 

We also understand Bush is also working on completely original material, but no official release date or further information has been revealed has as of yet...

Well, that's slightly disappointing. But still welcome.

Also, Mrs. Bartolozzi. I think that song is about as quirky and interesting as any of her early work. I like the fact that she achieved that with just piano and voice. I for one interested to hear what the revisted material will sound like. She kind of lost me with both those albums for some reason.

I do feel a listening session coming on though. It's been a while, I quite fancy being bewitched today.

Kate Bush is the only woman who can make the word "babooshka" seem sexy as fucc to me.

damn son..

also, new album woooo

After 22 years it's yes, yes, yes to Kate Bush and Molly Bloom

 

Kate Bush: originally approached the James Joyce estate in 1989

IN A move described as “remarkable” by Joycean scholars, the singer Kate Bush has said she has been given permission to use Molly Bloom’s famous soliloquy from Ulysses in a song to be released next month.

 

The Joyce estate, whose main trustee is the writer’s grandson Stephen Joyce, are notoriously protective of the writer’s work and have brought numerous lawsuits against scholars and artists attempting to quote from the writer’s work.

 

Kate Bush, whose mother is from Co Waterford, originally approached the Joyce estate in 1989 seeking permission to use extracts from Molly Bloom’s soliloquy in a song called The Sensual World. When denied permission the singer wrote her own lyrics to the song but has spent the last 22 years trying to get the Joyce estate to change their mind.

 

“Originally when I wrote the song The Sensual World I had used text from the end of Ulysses but was disappointed not to receive permission,” said the singer.

 

“But when I came to work on this current project I though I would ask for permission again and this time they said yes. The song has now been retitled Flower of the Mountain and I am delighted that I have had the chance to fulfil my original concept.”

 

Bush – one of the foremost musical artists of her generation – was first struck by the power and potency of Bloom’s soliloquy when she heard actor Siobhán McKenna reading it.

 

“Because I couldn’t get permission the lyrics I wrote to The Sensual World had Molly Bloom stepping out of the book into the real world and having these impressions of sensuality,” said Bush in a 1989 interview.

 

“When I heard Siobhán McKenna read it I thought: ‘My God! This is extraordinary, what a piece of writing!’ It’s a very unusual train of thought.”

 

Bush’s album will contain Flower Of The Mountain and sees the singer revisit two previous albums and record new versions of the songs. It will be released on May 13th.

 

It is believed to be the first time Joyce’s work has been used in a popular music song. Perhaps one of the reasons the estate has given permission for Bloom’s words to be used is because the copyright on Joyce’s literary work expires in 2012.

 

Under EU law, copyright expires 70 years after the author’s death.
