I was going to write about a music of Kate Bush (Running up that hill), but then I feel like I have to talk about her too, specially because she as another musics that are worthy to talk and share.
Born Catherine Bush 30 July 1958, Kate Bush is an English singer-songwriter, musician and record producer. She has an eclectic musical style and idiosyncratic vocal style which led her to be one of the United Kingdom's most successful solo female performers of the past 30 years.
She signed with EMI at the age of 16 after being recommended by Pink Floyd's David Gilmour.
At the age of 19 (1978) she topped the UK Singles Chart for four weeks with her debut single "Wuthering Heights"(that you can ear down below), becoming the first woman to have a UK number-one with a self-written song.
In the following year she as also the most photographed woman in the United Kingdom.
She only made an concert tour, and it was in 1979. In the next year she released the album Never for Ever, which made her the first British solo female artist to top the UK album charts and the first female artist ever to enter the album chart at No. 1.
In 1987, she won a BRIT Award for Best British Female Solo Artist. She has released ten albums, three of which topped the UK Albums Chart, and has had twenty-five UK Top 40 hit singles including "Wuthering Heights", "Running Up that Hill", "King of the Mountain", "Babooshka", "The Man with the Child in His Eyes", and "Don't Give Up" (a duet with Peter Gabriel)—all of which reached the Top 10.
In 2002, Bush's songwriting ability was recognised with an Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Contribution to British Music.
In 2005, she released Aerial, her first album in 12 years. The album earned her a BRIT Award nomination for Best Album and another for Best Solo Female Artist.
During the course of her career, she has also been nominated for three Grammy Awards.
