Nach 6 Jahren erscheint eine neue Platte der englischen
Sängerin mit neuem Material (das im Mai 2011 erschienene
Album 'Director's Cut' enthielt Bearbeitungen früherer
Songs). Das Konzeptalbum '50 words for snow' behandelt den
Winter im konkreten und übertragenen Sinne. Hochkarätige
Musiker und Gäste wie Danny Thompson (Bass), Elton John
(Klavier, Gesang) und der Schauspieler und Schriftsteller
Stephen Fry sind mit dabei. "'50 Words For Snow' is Kate
Bush's finest moment ... Built around the idea of snow this
moves its themes around so brilliantly that you are never
saddled with an obvious theme. The songs may use snow as
their spine and metaphor but like snow they have a mystery
and elusiveness like the emotions that they are describing
... The 7 songs are stripped down and intimate with many of
them just Kate Bush and ... her rolling piano and her
ethereal vocals. She, of course, sings beautifully, one of
the great voices, distinctive and powerful ... This is a
masterwork that takes no easy options and takes a real
effort to explore ... An important work that defines
genius" (www.louderthanwar.com)
