A bit of an old thread but interesting considering lots discovering her music due to Stranger Things. A pretty brilliant career. She was discovered by David Gilmour at a pretty young age and had instant success. To me the 2nd side of Hounds of Love is one of the better album sides I’ve ever heard. Obviously I’m a fan boy. The Dreaming is also a great album top to bottom. Her newer work is a bit quieter but in some ways I like it better. Certainly a worthwhile artist to to give a listen if you don’t know her or just know Running Up that Hill.In another thread we were discussing Kate Bush. This article popped up on my feed and I thought it fitting to post.
Inside Kate Bush's alternate universe
Why are the enigmatic star's mystical songs being constantly re-purposed? Because she is in her own unique, other world, writes Dorian Lynskey – and we all want to be there with her.www.bbc.com
I kind of found that statement a bit of a stretch also. I’ve heard a few different covers of A Woman’s Work but until Stranger Things haven’t heard her work getting used elsewhere. In fact, she does a really nice cover of Rocket Man by Elton John, who’s music has definitely been repurposed.
