In this edition of ‘This Woman’s Work’, Classic Albums host Colleen ‘Cosmo’ Murphy discusses Kate Bush’s Hounds of Love with singer Julia Holter and Outkast’s Big Boi. Released in September 1985, Hounds of Love was produced as two distinct sets of songs: ‘Hounds of Love’ which contained the album’s four smash singles, and a narrative suite called ‘Ninth Wave’. On this record, Kate Bush applied her ethereal voice to dramatic songs about childhood, relationships, and nature. With its sophisticated arrangements and embrace of technology, her self-produced album pushed the boundaries of musical structure and personal expression.
