A severely underrated album, Kate Bush expresses her more intimate side which marks a departure from her previous release 'Hounds Of Love'. With its dreamy, otherworldly soundscapes, this is Bush's most delicate and introspect work to date.

7th January, 2022: Kate Bush - The Sensual World (art pop, 1989)
As much as I’m hesitant to admit it, I’m still struggling a bit with Kate Bush outwith
Hounds of Love. It’s one of my favourite albums of all time, and yet I struggle to find
another album of hers I even consider a quarter of its quality. This, its direct follow up,
is no different. The first few tracks present interesting ideas, and are certainly unique
enough to call them enjoyable, but there are no otherworldly emotions or memorable hooks or
passionate performances to lock me in. The only real time we come close to the truly
transcendent work of its predecessor is on “This Woman’s Work”, which is a fine way to bow
out. Maybe I just need more time. Not just with this, but most of her other records.
6.1 (5th listen)

A bit like being shrunken to the size of a hairpin then dropped into your big sister's makeup bag - she takes you over to see her friends and their huge faces peer in and their voices giggle and boom.
