Day 0650 -The Sensual World

Kate Bush "The Sensual World" (1989)


I preferred Bush's earlier, weirder, more eclectic offering "The Dreaming", but this is still a strong collection of songs.  Kate creates mature pop without losing all of her adventurousness of sound.

The songs manage to work in elements of world music in an unobtrusive way.   Including a lot of backing vocals from Trio Bulgarka, a Bulgarian vocal ensemble and the inclusion of some Celtic folk instruments.  These elements are used to serve the songs rather than dominate them.
