A dense, often-beautiful album that doubles as a tribute to dancer and close friend Lindsay Kemp, "The Red Shoes" saw Bush experimenting with Celtic and world music influences.
- The album features a wide array of guest musicians, including Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Prince.
- Despite a lukewarm critical reception at the time of release, "The Red Shoes" has since been re-evaluated as one of Bush's more ambitious works.
- The album's accompanying short film, "The Line, the Cross & the Angle," was directed by Derek Jarman.
Kate Bush is a highly idiosyncratic English singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, pioneering the use of synthesizers and innovative music video production in pop music. In 1993, she returned after a six-year absence with "The Red Shoes," an album that found her exploring themes of witchcraft and artistic collaboration.
