Sky News Active has just confirmed that Kate has delivered the material for her new album in time for an autumn release. People at EMI were "blown away" by its eclectic nature and the variety of guest stars. A mini Dvd is in the offing to promote the singles and will be out early next year.

is that Autumn 2005 by the way?

It had better be.

Just posted the news in the other KB thread. Sorry I didn´t see that you started a new thread for it Cloudbuster.

I hope it doesn´t take too long before we can hear the first single.

My guess is end of August early September time. I know at least one video has already been filmed, so it shouldn't be long now.

I hope, she finds the time to do some proper videos. Being a mum takes a lot of time, you know

I always wondered, how her videos would look like with todays technology. I would love to see her working together with Michel Gondry who did some of Björks greatest videos. It can only be better than "The line, the cross, and the curve" which was pretty embarrassing to be honest.

Is this for real?

I like the Rubberband Girl vid. The rest was indeed pretty lame.

Any other source for this info? There's nothing on the EMI Records site http://www.emirecords.co.uk/loader.html , or on http://homepage.eircom.ne...tebush.htm

As for possible guests on the album, the following was posted in December on that second site (Pandurito should enjoy this quote):

Kate has annnounced in December 2004 that the album is almost finished and will be out in 2005: "we'll let you know when". She says: "I'm so pleased with everyone's work on this record. There are some lovely performances and I hope you will all feel it's been worth the wait. Bertie keeps me very busy, he is so much fun". Known contributors to the new album include Mick Karn (he says he played bass on a track called 'How To Be Invisible'), drummer Stuart Elliott and jazz percussionist Peter Erskine. The late Michael Kamen wrote the string arrangements for two tracks which will appear on the new album - she recorded what she has described as "some beautiful orchestral movements" with him and the London Metropolitan Orchestra at Abbey Road in October 2003. Chris Hall has played accordion on one track. Classical musicians Emma Murphy and Susanna Pell have also recorded for the album. Del Palmer is said to be engineering. Kate has had her new recording studio serviced and upgraded and started recording in late 1999

Thanks! I watched it, well, looks fairly reliable, hopefully a release date will be announced soon!

Edit: Just had a thought, wonder who will have a new album out first? Prince, or Kate?!

Um, yeah, sure. Whatever you say, Cloudy. I believe you. Totally. Yeah.

This must be a new marketing strategy:

Never release the album

Axl's Chinese Democracy
Kate Bush
Stevie Wonder
