Premiere: Tracey Thorn - Under The Ivy (Kate Bush Cover)

Tracey Thorn has impeccable taste in music so no wonder that BBC Radio 4 asked her to be their guest editor. For this session, which aired last night, she's recorded Kate Bush's Under The Ivy, the b-side to Running Up That Hill, as a tribute. Her life partner Ben Watt is on piano and we get a new string arrangement written by famous conductor Nick Ingman, known for his work with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and major Oscar winning films. Um, yes - impeccable taste it is, haha. Alsooo, this version is out as a single release today! We love the added warmth that Tracey's voice always brings, plus how this take is more subdued in true Thorn style. It really adds a new dimension to the original and what more can one ask really apart from a duet with Kate and Tracey from and center. Can you even imagine?! Read here what TT has to say about her cover and some thoughts about KB as an artist. Enjoy!
