Our Take

Kate Bush, the Queen of British avant-garde pop, has re-released her classic album "The Red Shoes" in a shiny new 2018 remastered edition. This album is like a musical rollercoaster, taking listeners on a journey through whimsical storytelling, haunting melodies, and bizarre yet beautiful arrangements.

From the breathtaking ballad "And So Is Love" to the ethereal " Lily," Kate's vocals soar and swoop like a majestic bird in flight. The instrumentation on this album is equally as enchanting, with its mix of traditional folk instruments, electronic synthesizers, and even some unexpected bagpipes thrown in for good measure.

One of the standout tracks on "The Red Shoes" has to be the experimental and quirky "Eat the Music," which is a sonic feast for the ears. With its funky rhythms, infectious groove, and Kate's playful delivery, this song is a veritable smorgasbord of musical delights.

However, not every track on this album hits the mark. "Rubberband Girl" feels a bit too repetitive and lacks the depth and complexity of some of the other songs. And while the title track "The Red Shoes" is undeniably haunting and atmospheric, it can also feel a bit meandering at times.

Overall, this remastered edition of "The Red Shoes" is a must-have for any Kate Bush fan. It's a captivating and immersive listening experience that showcases Kate's unparalleled creativity and musical genius. So slip on your metaphorical red shoes and dance your way through this enchanting album.
