Kate Bush - 50 Words For Snow

Kate Bush is one of the most successful and groundbreaking British solo performers of the last 30 years. Her first single “Wuthering Heights” topped the UK singles chart for 4 weeks in 1978, the same year she released her debut album The Kick Inside and its follow-up Lionheart.

50 Words For Snow features seven tracks set against a background of falling snow, with a total running time of 65 minutes. Through a highly evocative musical and lyrical landscape this haunting album once again pushes the boundaries of Kate Bush's art. The album features a number of special guest musicians including Elton John, Andy Fairweather Low and, on the title track, the British writer/broadcaster/raconteur Stephen Fry. Kate Bush has been cited as a huge influence on a range of artists from newcomers like Florence and the Machine and Feist to established artists like Tori Amos and Bjork; she has also been praised by figures as diverse as OutKast, Tricky and Sex Pistol/PIL legend John Lydon who said; "Kate Bush supplies me with all the clues and it's up to me to put the answers together, and that surely is what we are all looking for."
