{"title":"Kate Bush","description":"\u003ch2\u003eAbout Kate Bush\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCatherine Bush was born in Bexleyheath, Kent, England on July 30, 1958. She was signed to EMI Records at age 16 in 1974 after David Gilmour of Pink Floyd heard her demos and arranged her recording contract. Her 1978 debut single Wuthering Heights (a setting of Emily Brontë's novel) became the first UK number-one single written and performed by a woman. Her 1985 landmark album Hounds of Love - particularly the conceptual second side, The Ninth Wave - is widely considered one of the most important art pop albums of all time. She pioneered women's self-production in popular music. Her 1985 song Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God) experienced a commercial resurgence in 2022 after its prominent placement in Stranger Things season 4, reaching number one in multiple international markets nearly 37 years after its original release. She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2023 and made a CBE in 2013.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSound and style\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eKate Bush's sound combines art pop, pop rock, progressive rock, baroque pop, theatrical pop, and electronic with her distinctive multi-octave vocal range, extensive use of literary and theatrical narrative content, the Fairlight CMI synthesizer (which she helped popularize in the early 1980s), and consistently distinctive production approaches drawing on her self-production work from the early 1980s onward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDiscography highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Kick Inside (1978, EMI)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLionheart (1978, EMI)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNever for Ever (1980, EMI)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Dreaming (1982, EMI)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHounds of Love (1985, EMI)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Sensual World (1989, EMI)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Red Shoes (1993, EMI)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAerial (2005, EMI)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirector's Cut (2011, EMI)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e50 Words for Snow (2011, EMI\/Fish People)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFor collectors\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginal EMI pressings of the Kate Bush catalog are widely collected.
