Bexleyheath, Kent (1978 – present)
Kate Bush (born Catherine Bush on 30 July 1958 in Bexleyheath, Kent, now part of Greater London) is an English singer-songwriter known for her expressive three-octave voice, idiosyncratic and literary lyrics, and eclectic and meticulous musical and production style. She debuted in 1978 with the surprise hit “
Wuthering Heights”, which was number one in the British music charts for four weeks. She has become one of the most influential artists in popular music.
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 — either to allow her to hone her talents or so she wouldn’t be offered a contract by another record company — to finish school without releasing any material. Bush’s first releases were in 1978 when she released the single Wuthering Heights (which went to number 1 in the UK, a first for a female singer/songwriter) 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 ethnic and 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.

I wouldn't classify Breathing as a ballad, it's far more complex both, lyrically and musically. yet, it is one of her most impressive works and everytime I listen to it I'm stunned.

@pokrishka Heads We're Dancing, Leave It Open, and Pull Out The Pin are all pretty dark as well. Without a doubt, "The Dreaming" is her darkest album. But if you're thinking of dark as in "having bleak subject matter", "Breathing" probably takes the cake. Though its difficult to discern just exactly what its about "Mother Stands For Comfort" is pretty dark. "Song of Solomon" is filled in desperation and heart-ache. And "if you mean, "which song is most frightening, well you can't go wrong with "Waking The Witch." Hope that helps, and enjoy the quivers and the quavers. :)
