Ever since, she has recorded new material at her own pace in her own studio, releasing it with increasingly little fanfare or promotion and then promptly vanishing again for lengthy intervals. She may now be a negligible physical presence in the pop firmament, but 25 years after its completion, Hounds Of Love still casts a magical spell, and having a hand in its creation remains a high watermark for all those involved.

She was inspired to write it after watching the 1967 BBC adaptation of Emily Bronte's 1847 novel, writing the lyrics - sung from the perspective of heroine Catherine Earnshaw - in just a few hours.

It’s safe to say Kate Bush has been having a moment on TV since last year’s “Running Up That Hill” needle drop on Stranger Things, but music supervisor Maggie Phillips says, “This Woman’s Work” was selected before Netflix‘s hit made headlines with their use of the aforementioned song. “When we were placing [the song in the season lineup],” Phillips says, “it was maybe weeks after Stranger Things, and I was worried that we would look like copycats.”
On ZOE BALL’s Radio 2 Breakfast Show, the pair recalled their time together at Worthy Farm in 2016 – when he borrowed her Kate Bush wig and wore it on stage.

She’d harboured an aversion to playing live since the “Tour Of Life” in 1979, an enormously successful six-week European jaunt combining song, dance, theatre, mime and poetry, in many respects a high concept, lo-tech precursor to the multimedia stadia extravaganzas of the ’80s and beyond. The studio became an inclement place to work, a hostile micro-climate of smoke, chocolate, Chinese takeaways and far too little sleep. Towards the end “she was exhausted,” says Hardiman, who describes the final push as “hours of crippling tedium with occasional bursts of extreme excitement.” The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge meet members of the public after visiting Abergavenny Market to see first-hand how important local suppliers are to rural communities and to mark St David’s Day.,Image: 665699255, License: Rights-managed, Restrictions: , Model Release: no, Credit line: JULES ANNAN / AvalonThe dark, smudged makeup has appeared today on high fashion runways such as Chanel, and stars such as Julia Fox on the red carpet. Smudged and ombre makeup strays from traditional, much like everything else Kate encapsulates. I get a thrill.” Says Youth: “Take the old, almost druidic element, synergised with cutting edge technology and a genius writer, and you get a classic album. It was a great honour to work with her.” It's Kate Bush, her birthday, [it's] Wuthering Heights Day. It's a day of celebration, it's a day of diversity and inclusion and it's just a day for everyone to have fun and spread some joy," he added. But while the date and location has been confirmed, they say more information will follow in the coming months. Sporting a bright blue eyeshadow and nude lip that wouldn’t look out of place today, this look proved that you can never have too much of anything when it comes to Kate.
Dancing fans draped in red mirroring Kate Bush's iconic "Wuthering Heights" video gathered in their hundreds to celebrate the British singer's birthday in Sydney Saturday, embracing the event after a two-year Covid hiatus. Bush later called Hounds Of Love her most complete work. “In some ways it was the best and I was the happiest I’d been compared to making other albums. I had time to breathe and work creatively.” Indeed, she has never sounded so imperious, or displayed such mastery of her talents, as she did on Hounds Of Love. I had 12 hours to go, coming down, plummet airlines. I heard my tour manager behind me say, ‘I don’t think he is going to make it’.” Olena and I are grateful to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge @RoyalFamily that at this crucial time, when Ukraine is courageously opposing Russia's invasion, they stand by our country and support our brave citizens. Good will triumph. The first few months of ’85 were spent adding texture and final atmospheric flourishes: soft spoken voices, steam train sounds, whirring helicopter blades borrowed from Pink Floyd’s The Wall. It was an enormously complex record to mix and master. Ian Cooper, who cut every Bush album from The Dreaming to The Red Shoes, recalls, “Hounds Of Love took the longest. I won’t say it was a nightmare, but I remember the list of what I had to do rolling onto the floor. I think we were still doing it when it was released. I remember asking her when it was coming out and she said, ‘It’s out!’ I said, ‘Then why are we doing it?’ and she said, ‘I think we could still get this and that right’.”Hounds Of Love was launched at the London Planetarium on September 9, 1985. “Running Up That Hill” was already a Top 3 hit, Bush’s biggest single since “Wuthering Heights”. Almost fainting with relief at its hit potential, EMI had convinced her to change the original title from “A Deal With God” to avoid causing offence in overtly religious countries. Though unhappy about the decision, for once she put commerce before art. After the trials of The Dreaming, she realised that resisting would be akin to “cutting my own throat”. Kate makes a great photographic subject, and the limited-edition book The Kate Inside features hundreds of unseen images filled with drama, romance and mystery. This shot in particular is compelling as she shows off intense, coal-rimmed eyes, smudged with a cut-crease and gradient lips.
She says, “From what I heard from David [ Jenkins], it was a song that Taika was attached to.” At first, Phillips was reluctant to go with the song due to its prior uses, but “David told me not to worry about [that], that people have short-term memory when it comes to music.” The red lip remains one of the most versatile looks today, adding an extra layer of seduction, rebel and chic to any look.

She has an incredible, innate sense of what works for a song. She has an extremely clear impression of the atmosphere she wants to create, but how she achieves that involves experimentation. On Hounds Of Love we were using Fairlight and Linn drums a lot, and they’d come out with these funny little sounds which you might think weren’t very interesting, and she’d say, ‘Isn’t that wonderful? Isn’t that great?’ She’d make it great, and that’s the mark of a genius. She’d have a little kernel of an idea that would develop into a huge blossom. A very curious spirit, she wanted to find out about things, she was questing all the time.” Yeah, “The Royal Family is duty-bound to be impartial and rarely criticizes individual leaders so this is quite something.” That must be why the British media climbed up Harry and Meghan’s asses about their statement, only to dutifully praise William and Kate for saying basically the same thing two days later.
