| Did you know that Kate Bush was just 19 years old when she became the first female artist to hit No. 1 in the UK with a self-written song? That song? The hauntingly brilliant “Wuthering Heights” - inspired by a single night of reading Emily Brontë’s novel! But here’s something even crazier: before she was famous, David Gilmour of Pink Floyd discovered her and personally funded her first demo. Without him, the world might never have heard her otherworldly voice. Kate wasn’t just ahead of her time - she was in a league of her own. She pioneered art pop, directed her own music videos before MTV even existed, and used the Fairlight CMI, one of the first digital synthesizers, years before most artists even touched electronic music. Her influence? Massive. Everyone from Björk to Florence Welch to Prince (yes, Prince!) has credited her as a genius. And after “Running Up That Hill” exploded again thanks to “Stranger Things”, a new generation got to witness the magic of Kate Bush -an artist so unique, the world still can’t catch up. |
