After a career hiatus, Kate Bush is ready to make new music.
The English singer-songwriter had been out of the public eye for over a decade after she released her 2011 album, 50 Words for Snow. But in 2022, Bush returned to the spotlight when Stranger Things used her 1985 song “Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God)” in season 4 and hit No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 chart.
Bush began her career with her debut album, The Kick Inside, in 1978, and subsequently released 10 studio albums. Since then, she has only debuted live and compilation LPs and hasn’t performed live since 2014. But after her song’s inclusion in the Netflix show, Bush experienced a career resurgence, with a new fanbase of younger people discovering her discography.
Following a long career break, Bush has said she’s ready to get back to making music. “I’m very keen to start working on a new album,” she told BBC Radio 4’s Today program in October 2024. “I’ve got lots of ideas and I’m really looking forward to getting back into that creative space, it’s been a long time.”
