Kate Bush – The Red Shoes (Vinyl)
'The Red Shoes', Kate Bush's seventh album, first released in 1993, is a continuation of her multi-layered musical pursuits. The guest performer list is worthy of note alone, including Procol Harum pianist Gary Brooker, Eric Clapton, Prince, Jeff Beck and Lenny Henry, but this is very much a Kate Bush album.
Opening song "Rubberband Girl" is actually one of her strongest singles in years, a big and punchy song served well with a horn section, while "Eat the Music," another smart choice for a single, mixes calypso and other Caribbean musical touches with a great, classically Bush lyric mixing up sexuality, romance, and various earthy food-based metaphors.
Another highlight of Bush's frank embrace of the lustier side of life is "The Song of Solomon," a celebratory piece about the Bible's openly erotic piece and fans who prefer her predominantly piano and vocal pieces will enjoy "Moments of Pleasure", with a strong string arrangement courtesy of Michael Kamen. Other standouts include "Why Should I Love You?" featuring Prince creating an arrangement and backing chorus. (AMG)

OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
