How Kate Bush Won the Fight for “Wuthering Heights” | New British Canon
Kate Bush is a unique artist. From her art rock 70s beginning with hits like “The Man With the Child in His Eyes”, “Them Heavy People” and “Wow” through her revolutionary 80s output, to her sporadic recluse releases, each new album brings new ideas, new characters and new sounds. No other artist could fit the radio-ready singles of “Running Up That Hill”, “Hounds of Love” and “Cloudbusting” on the same LP as a 26-minute musical journey that follows a woman’s death-hallucinations drowning under ice. Her influence can be heard in the works of The Cocteau Twins, Tori Amos and Bjork as well as more recent aspirants like Bat For Lashes, FKA twigs and Perfume Genius. But like everyone else, she had to start somewhere. And again, no other artist entered the music world like Kate Bush, who took the stage in 1978 with the haunting classic literature-themed love song that was her debut single. This is New British Canon and this is the story of “Wuthering Heights.”
