Kate Bush makes me swoon.

Why?

How many pop stars do you know with the brilliance and audacity to drop a single - 36 years into their career, mind you! - about the loneliness and nobility of Bigfoot?

Kate Bush, that’s who. She did it this morning.

Bush’s work has always explored sensual, magical realms, drawing wisdom, beauty and horror from a world our modern society has left behind. It’s still real for Kate, and as evidenced by “Wild Man”, she’s as able as she ever was to make it enchanting for the rest of us, reminding us just how alive the stuff of myth still is. We need her.

Her new album “50 Words for Snow” will be released on November 21st.
