About Kate Bush
Kate Bush's 1978 debut album, The Kick Inside, introduced Wuthering Heights and a vocal approach that treated songs as dramatic performances. Her work connects songwriting and studio production with dance, theatre and film, making visual presentation part of the broader artistic practice. During the 1980s and 1990s she explored sampling and other studio techniques alongside her voice. That combination gives her pop recordings a distinctive relationship to staged character, movement and constructed sound.
