...Und Kate kann es noch viel besser

Nur Lobeshymnen in der Presse zu Kate Bushs neuer CD 50 WORDS FOR SNOW.

Das hat einen simplen Grund: Das Album ist einfach wunderschön. Seit ich die CD vor einer Woche bekommen habe, höre ich nichts anderes mehr.



Today (Monday 21st November) marks the release of Kate’s 10th studio Album “50 Words For Snow” and the response from the press has been fantastic. Here’s a selection of what some publications have been saying about the record:

"For all the subtle beauty of the orchestrations, there's an organic, live feel, the sense of musicians huddled together in a room, not something that's happened on a Bush album before." - The Guardian (5/5)



“Remarkable…” – Uncut (4/5 – Album of the Month)

“Within a snowball's throw of the winter solstice, it's hard to imagine another record scaling the lambent reverie of 50 Words For Snow.” – Mojo (4/5)

“She’s brilliant, sometimes inspired, and this tenth studio album finds her gifts undiminished. What really makes you go weak at the knees, though, is her imagination.” – Clash (9/10)

“‘50 Words For Snow’ is Kate Bush’s finest moment, a pinnacle in a career of pinnacles.” – Louderthanwar.com (10/10)

"A concept executed with grace, subtlety and just in time to soundtrack your Christmas. There's a depth and gravitas here that slowly reveals itself over repeated listens" – NME

“A wintry companion to Aerial written and sung as exquisitely as you’d expect. As surprising and individual as ever… it lifts the heart and transforms your world…” - The Word

"It’s provocative sleight-of-hand on an LP that finds a universe of emotions in its wintery theme" – Rolling Stone

"50 Words For Snow goes beyond good taste, because it is as intriguing and eccentric as it is restrained … " - The Times

"...a lush, immersive work which is sonically more homogeneous than her earlier albums..." - The Independent

"50 Words For Snow is an astounding piece of work unlike anything else." - MTV

"It’s the sensual, seductive Bush we get throughout this sparse, wintery, piano-led slow-burner." – The List

"50 Words For Snow is the most inspired, unique and beautiful album of the year." - Holy Moly

"Bush ­follows up May's Director's Cut with a boldly stripped-down set that distils her off-kilter ­aesthetic to its purest essence" - Entertainment Weekly

"...a strange and beautiful disc of thematically linked songs about winter." - The Washington Post

"True to form, “50 Words for Snow” floats in its own enchanted cloud, a song cycle for subzero shut-ins." - Chicago Tribune
