Kate Bush to release new album, 50 Words for Snowwww.guardian.co.uk/music/2011/sep/12/kate-bush-50-words-snowwww.katebush.com/Singer's ninth album will be released on 21 November, just six months after her last album. Kate Bush has announced details of a new album, 50 Words for Snow. The album, her ninth, will hit stores only six months after her last LP, Director's Cut. The record, which is to be released on her own label Fish People, is due on 21 November. Unlike Director's Cut, which saw Bush reinterpreting tracks from her back catalogue, 50 Words for Snow will consist entirely of new material. There are seven tracks on the album, which has a running time of 65 minutes. According to the press release, the tracks are "set against a background of falling snow". Bush currently appears to be in the most productive part of her career since the early 80s. When she released the double album Aerial in 2005, it was her first release in 12 years after devoting herself to her family. The full tracklisting (and track lengths) for 50 Words for Snow is as follows: 1. Snowflakes (9:55) 2. Lake Tahoe (11:26) 3. Misty (13:49) 4. Wild man (7:03) 5. Snowed in at Wheeler Street (8:11) 6. 50 Words for Snow (8:10) 7. Among Angels (6:55) Are you looking forward to this albums release or not?

I didn't like Aerial apart from 2 or 3 tracks so would need to hear this before thinking even about buying it.
Would have preferred an up-to-date Greatest Hits.

I'm going to be honest here, the whole thing sounds like a complete snoozefest to me from it's description - I would like to be proved wrong as I love Kate Bush.
(PS. The album cover is also awful)

Very excited to read this. Only 7 tracks but they are all lengthy so it will be fascinating to see what she comes up with

Interesting decision to release it on a tuesday. It was unlikely to be a top 40 hits anyway but that will kind of seal it now

^ She's so not bothered about charts, is she? Depends if it gets any radio/TV airplay as well (which again she's not fussed with! lol) x
