Kate Bush announces 50 Words for Snow — an album, not a third-grade homework assignment

·

Kate Bush isn’t one to re-record an entire album’s worth of her past tracks and go back into hiding. Director’s Cut, the archival release from earlier this year, gave Bush a taste of what she has been depriving her fans of. Announcing 50 Words for Snow marks her first true studio effort since 2005’s Aerial. Can you think of what 50 words for snow Ms. Bush might be harping on across seven tracks that clock in at just over an hour? Flurry, blizzard, frigid, powder, cocaine — those are just a few of our favorites. 50 Words for Snow will be released on November 21 through Bush’s own label Fish People, just as the first cold front sneaks in and surprises you with the shock of unforgiving gray skies.
