A Musical Comeback in the Making?
Iconic British singer-songwriter Kate Bush suggested she may be working on a new album. After her 1985 hit song Running Up That Hill, which experienced a surprising surge of popularity following its use in the Netflix series Stranger Things, Bush revealed she now has “lots of ideas” for her next musical project. This could be her first album since more than a decade ago when she released 50 Words for Snow (2011).
The Impact of ‘Stranger Things’
In an interview, Bush revealed how the resurgence of interest in Running Up That Hill rekindled her urge to make music. The song featured in Season 4 of Stranger Things and was played at the heart of the season when it topped the charts worldwide. “The way the song was welcomed by a new generation was both surprising and exhilarating,” Bush confessed. This renewed interest has motivated her to explore new sounds and engage in creative process.
The Kate Bush Legacy
Kate Bush is known for genre-bending songs with unique storytelling most of which blend pop, folk, and experimental sounds. She came to prominence within the late 1970s with Wuthering Heights, and subsequently forged her position as one of the most influential figures in music. Over the years, Bush has kept a low profile. Thus, recent interviews and hints of new music really got her fan base buzzing.
Back in the Studio
Though an official release date is not out, Bush teased that she’s open to getting into the studio again and trying something new. “I’ve been thinking and collecting ideas,” she said. Her fans can’t wait for her sound to change after over a decade.
Bush’s previous records are full of deep emotional themes as well as the new technique of production, so we could see if this record falls in line with those new tendencies or is more of a piece on her own artistic style.
Conclusion: A Revitalized Artist
Kate Bush’s new interest in music is promising a future of potential pages into the great chronicle of her storied career. Inspired by Stranger Things to do fresh new work, fans and the music world eagerly await another masterpiece from the legendary artist.
It speaks much for Bush that she seems to cross generations, giving evidence of her timeless talent. Whether the new album appears sooner or later, the news delights her admirers at the idea of listening to new music from an artist whose impact already transcends the decades.
