Kate Bush Reworks Old Songs for New Album


It isn't very often that influential art-pop siren Kate Bush puts out a new LP; her last one, Aerial, came out six years ago. But lo and behold, Bush has announced that a new record is on the way: Director's Cut is coming out May 16 via Kate's own Fish People label, in conjunction with EMI.
Although Director's Cut is a new release, it's not entirely comprised of new material, per se. The record features Bush re-recording elements of songs from two of her previous solo albums, 1989's The Sensual World and 1993's The Red Shoes, while "keeping the best musical performances of each song," according to a press release.
The record will be released digitally, on CD in a case-bound book, as part of a three-CD package that will include Director's Cut, The Sensual World, and the remastered The Red Shoes in a case-bound book, and a double vinyl edition. A reworked take on The Sensual World's "Deeper Understanding" will be released in April. The press release also notes that "Kate is currently working on new material although no release date has been set for this.
