Kate Bush: Under the Ivy, Paperback / softback Book

Kate Bush: Under the Ivy Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

This latest edition of Under The Ivy is fully updated to include analysis of Bush's stunning return to live performance in August 2014.

Her run of London concerts was the most unexpected and eagerly awaited pop event of the 21st Century.

An acclaimed study of one of the world's most enigmatic artists, Under The Ivy combines a wealth of new research with rigorous critical scrutiny.

Featuring over 70 new interviews with those who have viewed from close quarters both the public artist and the private woman, this compelling biography offers numerous fresh perspectives on a unique and elusive talent.

Under The Ivy examines Bush's unconventional upbringing in south London, the youthful blossoming of her talent and her evolution into one of the most visually and sonically creative artists of the past 35 years. It focuses on her unique working methods and pioneering use of the studio on landmark albums such as The Dreaming and Hounds Of Love, her core influences and key relationships, her profound influence on successive generations of musicians, and her most recent releases: Director's Cut, on which Bush reworked 11 songs from her back catalogue, and 50 Words For Snow, her first album of new material for six years.
