Iconic Albums Kate Bush The Lionheart Era (1978) : A Track-by-Track Journey Through Kate Bush's Second Studio Album and the Next Chapter in the Creation of a Remarkable Artistic Legacy

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Only nine months after The Kick Inside transformed Kate Bush into one of Britain's most remarkable new artists, she returned with Lionheart - a darker, more theatrical second album created under extraordinary pressure.Written largely from songs composed during her teenage years and recorded at Super Bear Studios in the south of France, Lionheart arrived at a moment when Kate was still adjusting to the phenomenal success of Wuthering Heights. EMI wanted another album quickly. Kate was already beginning to realise that her music needed more time, more experimentation and, above all, greater artistic control.This book explores the complete Lionheart era, from the rush to produce a follow-up and the making of songs such as Wow, Hammer Horror, Oh England My Lionheart and Kashka from Baghdad, to the album's UK Top Ten success and Kate's growing dissatisfaction with the traditional recording process.It also follows the extraordinary months that came afterwards: international promotion, her appearance on Saturday Night Live, the growing importance of dance and music video, and the creation of the ambitious 1979 Tour of Life - a groundbreaking production combining live music, choreography, mime, costumes, projections and theatrical effects.More than simply the story of Kate Bush's second album, The Lionheart Era captures the moment when a twenty-year-old star began becoming the fiercely independent artist who would soon co-produce Never for Ever and ultimately take complete control of her music.For fans of Kate Bush, classic albums and the creative stories behind landmark records, this is the story of an album made in haste - and the lessons that helped shape everything Kate Bush did next.
