Even if the "genius" term for female pop stars has not used often - with Kate Bush, the genius is difficult to dismiss. She is a British musician with a visionary interaction of melody, rhythm, instrumentation and singing. With her music and lyrics she has created her own dreamlike universe of disturbing pictures and movements. With the title track of the album "Wuthering Heights" the 19-year-old landed the first British number-one hit written by a woman. Other classics like "Cloudbusting", "Running Up That Hill", "Babooshka", "Hounds of Love" or "Do not Give Up" (in duet with Peter Gabriel) followed. The range of her texts, which deal with unborn babies, rape, menstruation, masquerade, Aborigines, Wilhelm Reich, Peter Pan or the nuclear war, show again and again the solitary character of the artist. She created her own musical world, did not want to follow a trend or the specifications of a producer and thus changed the musical universe. The tender Queen of British Pop is the voice of the late 70's and early 80's. Kate Bush relies on content, makes herself the voice of a highly political period and to this day consistently denies the requirements of the media world to be a pop star.
