Kate Bush is one of the most successful and groundbreaking British solo performers of the last 30 years. Her first single “Wuthering Heights” topped the UK singles chart for 4 weeks in 1978, the same year she released her debut album The Kick Inside and its follow-up Lionheart.
50 Words For Snow features seven tracks set against a background of falling snow, with a total running time of 65 minutes. Through a highly evocative musical and lyrical landscape this haunting album once again pushes the boundaries of Kate Bush's art. The album features a number of special guest musicians including Elton John, Andy Fairweather Low and, on the title track, the British writer/broadcaster/raconteur Stephen Fry. Kate Bush has been cited as a huge influence on a range of artists from newcomers like Florence and the Machine and Feist to established artists like Tori Amos and Bjork; she has also been praised by figures as diverse as OutKast, Tricky and Sex Pistol/PIL legend John Lydon who said; "Kate Bush supplies me with all the clues and it's up to me to put the answers together, and that surely is what we are all looking for."
