Kate Bush breaking 12-year album drought
NEW YORK/LONDON (Billboard) - Pianist/songwriter Kate Bush will break a 12-year album drought this autumn with the double-disc set "Aerial."
The album will arrive November 7 in Europe via EMI and a day later in North America via Columbia. First single "King of the Mountain" will be available September 27 at a host of digital download sites.
The artist, now 47, exploded onto the international charts with her debut 1978 hit "Wuthering Heights," which held the top spot in the UK for four weeks. She went on to have a string of hits with "Babooshka," "Running Up That Hill" and "Don't Give Up," a duet with Peter Gabriel.
But she disappeared from the spotlight following her 1993 album "The Red Shoes," which debuted at No. 2 in the UK and No. 28 in the U.S. Since then, the next phase of Bush's recording career has been the focus of routine speculation, while her influence was clearly heard in the music of Tori Amos, PJ Harvey and Bjork.
In October 2001, Bush whet the appetite of her devoted fanbase during a presentation at the annual Q Awards in London. While delivering her acceptance speech after winning the publication's accolade in the classic songwriter category, she told the audience, "I am actually making an album, (but) it's just taking longer than I thought," she said.
Three of Bush's albums -- "Never For Ever," "Hounds Of Love" and "The Whole Story" -- have reached No. 1 in the U.K.
