Kate Bush and Hounds of Love

'This is one of the few serious studies of Kate Bush, a hugely successful and influential British female pop artist. By focussing on Bush’s albums released between 1978 and 2005, and paying close attention to the 1985 album, Hounds of Love, Ron Moy presents a fascinating account of this artist’s achievements. Exploring the complex interactions of songs, video texts, mythologies of national identity, and authenticity, he executes an interdisciplinary approach that will undoubtedly be of use to a wide range of scholars within the field of popular music studies.' Stan Hawkins, University of Oslo ’Moy [...] provides enlightening critical discussions of authorship, creative process and performance... It will be well received by students and researchers across several disciplines, and will no doubt provoke further discussion within musicology.’ Popular Music
