Kate Bush May Release New Album This Year

EMI execs told to expect new record in November

Published 21st Jul 2011

The reclusive singer is reportedly in the midst of recording a staggeringly quick follow-up to May's Director's Cut record.

Mark Poston, the company chair of EMI Australia, told the Star Observer: "Of course, you can never be sure with Kate Bush. She does things at her own pace. But we've been told to prepare for a November release."

While Bush was promoting the Director's Cut album - which consisted of a collection of rerecorded tracks from her two albums the Sensual World and The Red Shoes - she alluded to the fact that she was ready to record a full album of new material.

Back in May Bush said that "most of the writing" was done for the record and that she hoped to release it fairly quickly.

"It's very frustrating the albums take as long as they do. I wish there weren't such big gaps between them."

Her last album of new studio material was 2005's double album, Aerial.
