Babooshkas rejoice! Kate Bush is every woman’s teenage soul – which is why men don’t get her | Barbara Ellen
Only female fans can truly appreciate the singer’s allure, and the thrill that talk of a new album brings
Rejoice, for Kate Bush has risen again. Heart-popping excitement (my own, and maybe yours too) greeted the musician’s surprise appearance last week on Radio 4’s Today programme, speaking to presenter Emma Barnett.
Bush, 66, was talking about her new four-minute animation, Little Shrew. Inspired by the horrors of war, and the Ukraine-Russia conflict in particular, playing through it is the track Snowdrop from her 2011 album 50 Words for Snow featuring her son Bertie’s vocals. The animation is heartfelt, exquisitely done (Bush would like donations to be made to the War Child charity). Bush also spoke about how she had “lots of ideas” for a new album.
