Kate Bush – Director’s Cut | Rewriting the Past

Released in 2011, Director's Cut is a unique project from Kate Bush, featuring newly reworked versions of songs originally released on The Sensual World in 1989 and The Red Shoes in 1993. Rather than simple remixes, these recordings were rebuilt from the ground up. Bush recorded new lead vocals and drums, reshaped the arrangements, and restructured the mixes throughout. Some songs were even transposed into lower keys to suit the natural changes in her voice over time. Three tracks - including This Woman's Work - were completely re-recorded, in some cases with subtle lyrical changes. Bush herself described Director’s Cut not as a remix album, but as an entirely new project. It was her first release since Aerial and the first to appear on her own label, Fish People. Bush wrote all of the songs and lyrics, with the exception of a few lines borrowed from the work of James Joyce. The album was met with largely positive reviews from critics.
