Kate Bush’s first new release in six years is now available to listen to for free in its entirety, a couple of weeks before it will be available in North America. Director’s Cut is an album of extended versions and reworks of Bush’s albums from 1989 and 1993, The Sensual World and The Red Shoes. The album is 11 tracks but clocks in at 57 minutes, so is a substantial release from one of music’s most cherished artists.
