Following the extraordinary success of Hounds of Love, Kate Bush faced a challenge few artists ever overcome: how do you follow a masterpiece without simply repeating it?
The Sensual World was her answer.
Released in 1989, Kate’s sixth studio album moved away from the dramatic structure of Hounds of Love towards something warmer, more physical and deeply adult. Inspired by literature, relationships, memory, technology and the complicated experience of being alive, the album became one of the most distinctive chapters of her career.
This book explores the complete story of the Sensual World era, from Kate’s decision to step away from the relentless album cycle to the years of experimentation that eventually produced the finished record.
Discover the story behind the James Joyce inspiration that led to the title track and why Kate was initially prevented from using Molly Bloom’s original words. Explore her fascination with Bulgarian vocal music and the extraordinary contribution of the Trio Bulgarka, the Celtic textures of uilleann pipes and traditional instrumentation, and collaborations with musicians including David Gilmour and Nigel Kennedy.
The book also examines the stories behind some of the album’s most memorable songs, including Love and Anger, The Fog, Deeper Understanding, Never Be Mine, Rocket’s Tail and the devastating This Woman’s Work.
From the visionary idea of finding emotional companionship through a computer to Kate’s increasingly mature exploration of love, trust, desire, ageing and mortality, The Sensual World revealed an artist continuing to change even after reaching the commercial and creative heights of Hounds of Love.
Across 35 chapters, Iconic Albums: Kate Bush – The Sensual World Era (1989) follows the writing, recording, musicians, artwork, videos, promotion, release and legacy of this remarkable period, before examining how the personal changes and losses of the years that followed would eventually lead Kate towards The Red Shoes.
A detailed celebration of an album where technology met tradition, imagination met physical experience, and Kate Bush once again refused to stand still.
