Kate Bush



Kate Bush is someone that takes a couple of tries to like and to appreciate, but even before I find myself repeating her songs, I already am in love with her. Because she's wonderfully weird... and weirdly wonderful. Her voice is playful yet seductive, and has incredible range-signed by EMI Records by age 16, Kate Bush was discovered by Pink Floyd's David Gilmour after he heard her 50+songs demo-tape. She reconstructed the music-video with passive seduction so the viewer isn't necessarily sure what exactly is going on (it helps that she was trained in dance and mime). Either way, I have to hijack what someone has already said about the lovely, whimsical and absolutely brilliant artist: "before there was Lady Gaga, there was Kate Bush."
