Full BBC Documentary: The Kate Bush Story - Running Up That Hill

Legendary innovator n' casual badass Kate Bush launchs her first concert series in 35 years next week at the Eventim Apollo in Hammersmith, London. To coincide with this amazing occasion the BBC has produced a brand new documentary chronicling the Bush story. Elusive as ever, Kate herself, of course, is nowhere to be seen apart from stock footage from interviews and TV appearances. This feels 100% correct and it's amazing to get a summary concentrated like this. What we get that's newly produced is interviews with the likes of Tori Amos, Bat For Lashes, Tricky and St. Vincent expressing their enormous adoration. It's wonderful to see, she truly is an artist's artist. A singer's singer. We also get a peek inside with new interviews with key collaborators such as Dave Gilmore, Peter Gabriel and Lindsay Kemp. Not to mention a slight personal angle from her (now ex-) boyfriend of 10+ years Del Palmer, who also has worked extensively as her sound engineer. The mix is enticing and we love how accessible Kate seems for just a fleeting second. Enjoy the full hour below! Thoughts?    

Free Download: Kate Bush - Don't Give Up (Bonar Bradberry Edit)

The theme here tonight is tranquility. How perfect we found this downtempo take on the 1986 classic Don't Give Up. Naturally this is a Peter Gabriel track but this version by UK producer Bonar Bradberry focuses solely on Kate Bush and her part filled to the brim with hope and love. The added somberness is truly gorgeous and the added bassline trembles like a heart aching for some tenderness. So perfect for a cold Scandinavian night like tonight. Enjoy!
