Kate Bush - Under Ice

Review by Laila Zafar

Under Ice by Kate Bush is a hauntingly beautiful album that showcases the singer's unique vocal range and songwriting abilities. The album, released in 1985, features eight tracks that are both intense and atmospheric, with Bush's signature ethereal sound at the forefront.

The opening track, "Under Ice," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its eerie synth beats and Bush's whispered vocals. The album also includes the standout tracks "Waking the Witch," a dark and brooding song that builds to a crescendo of layered vocals, and "The Big Sky," an upbeat and catchy tune that contrasts with the album's overall somber tone.

Throughout the album, Bush's lyrics are poetic and introspective, exploring themes of love, loss, and the mysteries of life. The instrumentation is equally impressive, with a mix of electronic and acoustic instruments creating a dreamlike soundscape that draws the listener in.

Summary by Laila Zafar

Under Ice is a masterpiece of art-pop that has stood the test of time. It is a must-listen for fans of Kate Bush and anyone who appreciates innovative and thought-provoking music.
