Product Description
Un Essentiel amazon.fr
Kate Bush ressemble à un personnage des "Hauts de Hurlevent", le roman d'Emily Brontë. D'ailleurs, depuis son éducation dans un couvent où elle apprend la musique, beaucoup d'éléments de sa biographie évoquent son univers ! Le miracle arrive en la personne de David Gilmour, le guitariste de Pink Floyd, qui croit en elle dur comme fer et l'aide à sortir The Kick Inside. D'emblée, sa voix de soprano à la virtuosité insensée séduit. Haut perchée, un brin voilée, un poil perverse (Mylène Farmer en France s'est inspirée de sa théâtralité), sa voix singulière lui assure la gloire internationale dès 1978. Lionheart est son second disque, marqué par "Wow" et "The Man With The Child In His Eyes". Indispensable, cet opus annonce la suite d'une carrière jalonnée de succès dont le tubesque "Babooshka" est, avec "Games Without Frontiers" en duo avec l'ex-Genesis Peter Gabriel, le plus important. Raffiné, Lionheart traduit un goût prononcé pour le perfectionnisme et les circonvolutions alambiquées d'arrangements à la souplesse féline. Remarquable. -- Philippe Robert

Glorious,
By Pipjen "Friedrich Nietzsche was a bit on the ... (Alberta, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lionheart (Audio CD)
I love this albums warmth, simplicity and intimacy. It doesn't challenge like later KB albums but that's ok, if you want to be challenged go listen to 'The Dreaming'. Me, I like this album for what it is and listen to it when I become melancholy, or to be reminded of dear old Blighty. Oh yes, there's plenty of romanticism here folks.....I absolutely adore 'Symphony in Blue' but can't quite tell you why. 'Wow' everybody knows about, a biting and somewhat cynical critique of theatre life. It's the strength of this album that throughout you'll find songs that take you away from wherever you happen to be. Listen to 'In the Warm Room' and you'd have to be made of stone to not feel the temperature rise just a little, if you know what I mean! It's worth noting here that this probably isn't the album KB wanted to release, but producer Andrew Powell was at that time all powerful, guiding/forcing her to give us another 'Kick Inside' type album. It makes sense when considering her follow up 'The Dreaming' with its sharp edges and challenging musical arrangements, and that she produced herself from then on.

Kate Bush's Most Intimate Album,
By Man On Fire "footscorpio" (Toronto,Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lionheart (Audio CD)
The thing I have noticed the most especially from American fans of Kate Bush is that they don't get "Lionheart" as one reviewer succintly put it.True,Kate Bush has always been the most English of all English singers.Her looks and her voice recall the windy wily moors of Northern England,the lush greenery of the English countryside,the dark eroticism of English manors,and nowhere is this more apparent than in the brilliant "Lionheart". Hammer Horror is about a plot by an understudy to kill a play's main protagonist to steal the part from her or him for that matter.Hammer refers to the venerable Hammer Studios who produced all the Dracula and Vampire movies in Britian from the 50's to the 70's. Coffee Homeground is another song about murder ,its 19th century atmosphere is amzingly produced and nowhere else is Kate Bush's voice more eerie. Oh England My lionheart is a true classic in both lyrics and performance.You can actually feel the aching in Kate's voice as she vows her love for her country.In the hands of any other artist this song could have been a syrupy mishmash but with Kate Bush,it's a strong declaration of love without being aggressively patriotic. Kashka from Baghdad is a sympathetic story of 2 gay men who even though shunned by their friends and families for being gay don't care because as the landlady can clearly see every night under the moonlight,they are deeply in love and obviously oblivious to what the world thinks of them.You can hear in Kate's voice her longing to join them.I find this to be typical of Kate's sensual persona. And by the way ,Kate has always tackled taboo subjects long before it became fashionable to do so.How many of you know that the song "Moving" from The Kick Inside is about orgasm??

One Step Forwards, Two Steps Back,
By "baylo" (Oz) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lionheart (Audio CD)
Lionheart is a curious album, displaying one step forwards then two steps back in terms of Kate Bush's progression as an artist. On the plus side she's more adventurous with her writing, reaching far more diverse and interesting topics. Her attempts to expand musically, however, are undermined due to the fact that this album was rushed far too quickly, leaving potential ideas sadly a little underbaked, leaving tracks that are weakly structured and thinly executed.Best Tracks; Wow, Hammer Horror, Don't Put Your Foot On The Heartbrake
