Kate Bush – All the Love

Biography
Bexleyheath, Kent, England (1978 – present)
Wuthering Heights”, which was number one in the British music charts for four weeks.
Whilst learning the violin and piano at St. Joseph’s Convent Grammar, she caught the ear of Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour who funded some demos, ultimately leading to a deal with EMI (Pink Floyd’s ultimate record company through the progressive Harvest imprint) when she was sixteen. Over the next two years EMI allowed her to hone her talents to and to finish school without releasing any material—while maintaining an exclusive contract. Bush’s first releases were in 1978 with the single Wuthering Heights (which went to number 1 in the UK, a first for a female singer) followed by the album The Kick Inside.
Even from her earliest works, featuring piano as a primary instrument, Bush wove together many diverse influences, melding classical music, rock, and a wide range of folk sources, producing a unique amalgam which has continued throughout her career. Later recordings have moved farther from a rock base, however, notably with the release of The Dreaming in 1982, where she experimented heavily with the then-new technology of sampling.

@shobhnaguerin "I wish I was born in the 60s/70s"? Yes, but from which century? 19th? Because, I wish I was born in the 30th century (2960s/2970s) in order to have the chance to listen all the Kate Bushes of the 3rd Millenium.

I was driving through town the other day and I saw a girl who looked like Kate Bush - could quite easily have crashed the car!

Glad to hear 50wfs wasn't her finale. Personally I'm glad I wasn't born in the 80s because the current technology has made it available to discover amazing artists like Kate, which also helps new artists become visible. Though I wouldn't complain if it was a January evening in 1978 and I'd just returned from the record store, a copy of The Kick Inside with me. =)

The only person that has me sometimes saying "I wish I was born in the 60s/70s". To have only discovered her last year, after having EVERY other female vocalist I listen to compared to her (especially Joanna Newsom), I feel like I've missed out on so much time and great music. Going album by album and just loving the experience. Kate is so phenomenal, and I'm so glad she's still making such beautiful music.

LOVE her first 3 albums so much! I've really tried with the next two (The Dreaming & Hounds of Love) but after NFE it all gets a bit too much for me. (If that makes sense, I doubt it does) Though every time I get back into her I appreciate another album, so maybe The Dreaming will grow with time...
