Amazing Tracks Beyond “Running Up That Hill”

Dec 21, 2022

The summer of 2022 belonged to Kate Bush. Her unlikely but welcome return to the music world has been a meteoric rise with “Running Up That Hill” recently reaching 158 million YouTube views and taking the top spot on Billboard’s music charts. It’s been 44 years since her previous number one hit, “Wuthering Heights,” the longest wait in history. However, these milestones mean little in comparison to the new generation of music listeners discovering Bush’s music for the first time thanks in part to the song’s use in the Netflix show Stranger Things.

Reviews

Nov 22, 2011

Compared to her earlier work, Kate Bush’s latest album may be a bit of a surprise to some, while utterly logical to others.
