He met Moya Doherty, then an RTÉ big-wig, in a Baggot Street café and she asked him to compose the interval music for Eurovision ’94.
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.” It’s easy to see why Kate became such an experimental icon, mixing grunge, power and femininity into her beauty looks through the course of her career. This performance of Wuthering Heights featured a powerful look, only fitting for the first woman to hit number one in the UK charts. 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”.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: 665698844, License: Rights-managed, Restrictions: , Model Release: no, Credit line: JULES ANNAN / Avalon
She was a notoriously hard taskmaster, often driving musicians to distraction trying to capture the atmosphere she wanted. “She would do lots and lots of takes and I could never understand why,” says Max Middleton, who played organ on Never For Ever. “Normally with other musicians we’d do it again because it was too fast or slow or you’re playing the wrong chord – something very definite – but she was looking for something nebulous that was hard to pinpoint. She wasn’t doing it again out of sheer belligerence, she was looking for something that no one else could see.” The red lip remains one of the most versatile looks today, adding an extra layer of seduction, rebel and chic to any look. 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. 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. 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.
The Irrational is getting more episodes
No invites were extended to EMI execs during the sessions. Refining the methods used on The Dreaming, her working practices became even more isolated. Often she recorded for long periods with only Palmer and perhaps another engineer in the studio, calling in musicians to add live texture when required. It was a thoroughly modernist approach. “It gives the album a slightly futuristic atmosphere,” says Youth. “She gave me some direction, let me do what I liked, then she chopped it up and arranged it in the Fairlight. It doesn’t have that natural dynamic arrangement and progression that you have with musicians playing together – it’s quite flat and modern. People work like that today all the time, but then it was quite unusual. It was about selection rather than musicianship, the currency of ideas reflected in the music rather than academic virtuosity.”
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.The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge at Abergavenny Market to see first hand how important local suppliers are to rural communities and to mark St David’s Day during a visit Abergavenny and Blaenavon in Wales.,Image: 665702606, License: Rights-managed, Restrictions: , Model Release: no, Credit line: Ben Birchall / Avalon Unlike many classic albums, though, Hounds Of Love is much more than a historical document. At a time when everyone seems desperate to show their hand, the innate sense of mystery feels more powerful and relevant than ever. A fiver says Joanna Newsom has studied the way in which it leads the listener into a mythical, self-contained world, while the mixture of its flat, futuristic samples, pagan symbolism and ancient, pounding rhythm echoes through the work of Fever Ray, Natasha Khan and Florence Welch. Indeed Bush has had an influence on almost every notable female artist of the past three decades, each indebted to her insistence on maintaining control, her boundless imagination, her determination to transcend accepted notions of femininity in both song and appearance. To pay homage to the music legend, and to celebrate her most compelling beauty looks over the decades, we asked the beauty experts at HD Brows to choose their favourite Kate beauty moments.
