Kate Bush | Can’t Sleep? Learn About the Queen of Art Pop

35 min

Kate Bush built a career by making ambitious music that rarely sounded like anyone else. This episode explores her early life, breakthrough with “Wuthering Heights,” distinctive songwriting and performances, and the creative control that shaped albums such as Hounds of Love. Along the way, you’ll hear about her approach to recording, her famously limited live performances, and how “Running Up That Hill” found an enormous new audience decades after its original release. Apparently, being ahead of your time works out eventually.

It’s steady and consistent, with no whispering and no sudden changes, just enough to give your mind something to follow as you wind down. Happy sleeping!
