LONDON (Reuters) - British singer Kate Bush may believe the music industry
is "collapsing," but her latest album has been hailed by some critics
as a classic and she has promised more to come after years away from the
studio. "50 Words For Snow"
is a concept album consisting of seven tracks, each much longer than
the average pop song, which was described by the L.A. Times as "an
art-song cycle that veers from delicate to blustery but always with a
sheen of elegance." In her five-star
review, the Telegraph newspaper's Helen Brown called it a "quietly
beautiful album," while Simon Price in the Independent on Sunday wrote
of Bush's first album of new material since 2005's "Aerial": "To the relief of anyone who carries a torch for the reclusive genius, it's a beauty."
Bush, who rarely
gives interviews and studiously avoids the limelight, appears to share
critics' sense of enthusiasm for 50 Words For Snow. It is her second album this year following "Director's Cut," a re-working of music from previous records. For an artist who waited 12 years between "The Red Shoes" in 1993 and Aerial, it has been a prolific period. (the whole enchilada)
