Glance at the streaming charts on any given day, and you might think this is axiomatically the case. Many of the biggest singer-songwriters around at the moment \u2013 Chappell Roan, Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo \u2013 are still in their early or mid-twenties. Taylor Swift is treated like a seasoned veteran, a figure whose storied career merits <a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/arts-entertainment\/music\/reviews\/taylor-swift-review-edinburgh-eras-tour-setlist-b2558600.html\">subdividing into 11 distinct eras<\/a>, at the grand old age of, um\u2026 34. Where does this leave all the actual veterans?<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, Kate Bush, the elastic-voiced singer-songwriter behind \u201cWuthering Heights\u201d, revealed that she is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/arts-entertainment\/music\/news\/kate-bush-new-music-little-shrew-film-b2635451.html\">plotting a return to music<\/a>, after more than a decade away from the spotlight. Bush\u2019s last live performances were in 2014 (a residency at the Hammersmith Apollo), and her last new record was three years before that (2011\u2019s <em>50 Words for Snow<\/em>). <\/p>\n<p>At her peak, Bush was an artist of rare brilliance, making rock music that was pensive and prickly and strange. Hers was a voice that seemed to leap across octaves from a standing start, crystalising into a singular, iridescent falsetto. There was no one else like her, and there still isn\u2019t. So it\u2019s a good job she\u2019s back: in an interview with BBC Radio 4\u2019s <em>Today<\/em> programme this morning, Bush said she was pursuing \u201clots of ideas\u201d for new music. \u201cI\u2019m really looking forward to getting back into that creative space, it\u2019s been a long time,\u201d she noted.<\/p>\n<p>In her hiatus, Bush has nonetheless orbited the zeitgeist, thanks chiefly to season four of Netflix\u2019s sci-fi sensation <em>Stranger Things<\/em>, which soundtracked a key scene to her \u201cRunning Up That Hill\u201d, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/arts-entertainment\/music\/news\/kate-bush-running-up-that-hill-chart-stranger-things-b2094357.html\">propelling the song to No 1 nearly four decades after its release<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>This unlikely resurgence introduced Bush\u2019s music to a new wave of younger fans who might well expect more in this vein when the pioneering English musician finally stages her comeback. But they\u2019re unlikely to get it. At 66 years old, Bush is half a lifetime away from the young maverick who broke new ground for female singer-songwriters in the 1970s and 1980s. The thing is, this only makes the prospect of more music all the more tantalising.<\/p>\n<p>There is often a sense, when it comes to singer-songwriters in the twilight years of their career, that decline is something of an inevitability. In some ways, it is: even many of the unimpeachable greats \u2013 Van Morrison, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell \u2013 have fallen prey to it. But when your early work is something as seismic as <em>Highway 61 Revisited<\/em>, or <em>Blue<\/em>, this is no slight.<\/p>\n<p>Growing older may remove some tools from a musician\u2019s arsenal \u2013 energy and vocal range being the most universal and keenly felt changes. But it adds just as many: experience, depth, perspective. Many songwriters do some of their finest and most potent compositions in the late stages of their career. <\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s something wonderful about tracks such as Randy Newman\u2019s \u201cWandering Boy\u201d, or Bruce Springsteen\u2019s \u201cGhosts\u201d \u2013 rich, poignant songs that these men would not have written in their younger heydays, despite being great songwriters. With 2016\u2019s <em>Blackstar<\/em>, David Bowie released one of his finest and most profound records at the very end of his life; Gil Scott-Heron did similar with 2010\u2019s <em>I\u2019m New Here<\/em>. Greatness, this is to say, need not diminish with age.<\/p>\n<p>Bush is a particularly interesting case, because there has always been a divide between the popular understanding of what her music is \u2013 languid rock bangers, most prominently the No 1-charting \u201cWuthering Heights\u201d \u2013 and the challenging, experimental reality. <em>Hounds of Love<\/em>, the 1985 album from which \u201cRunning Up That Hill\u201d is drawn, straddles both worlds. Half of it is a set of infectious radio-ready singles, while half is an elaborate and conceptual work weaving seven songs into one piece of music. Her later works continued to iterate and experiment: <em>50 Words For Snow <\/em>comprised seven long and intricate songs, the longest of which lasts nearly 14 minutes.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-118zqaw-0 ldfJRX\">\n<div class=\"sc-118zqaw-7 bgwgEk\">\n<div class=\"sc-118zqaw-3 rPGsX\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.independent.co.uk\/static-assets\/images\/mobile-stores\/Amazon_Music.png\" width=\"129\" height=\"36\" alt=\"Amazon Music logo\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-118zqaw-4 eXAVqJ\">\n<p class=\"sc-118zqaw-5 kDgYET\">Enjoy unlimited access to 100 million ad-free songs and podcasts with Amazon Music<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-118zqaw-6 bkKZsY\">Sign up now for a 4 month free trial (3 months for non-Prime members)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a class=\"sc-1aus1tj-0 jQSWof sc-118zqaw-2 iFqstR\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/32gdyhr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sign up<svg class=\"sc-eaj12q-0 ixMGSo sc-culv3z-0 jIhHch sc-1aus1tj-1 DEqVK\"><use href=\"#baddbaa17d236bd5\"\/><\/svg><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc-118zqaw-1 iAVdGx\">\n<div class=\"sc-118zqaw-7 bgwgEk\">\n<div class=\"sc-118zqaw-3 rPGsX\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.independent.co.uk\/static-assets\/images\/mobile-stores\/Amazon_Music.png\" width=\"129\" height=\"36\" alt=\"Amazon Music logo\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-118zqaw-4 eXAVqJ\">\n<p class=\"sc-118zqaw-5 kDgYET\">Enjoy unlimited access to 100 million ad-free songs and podcasts with Amazon Music<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-118zqaw-6 bkKZsY\">Sign up now for a 4 month free trial (3 months for non-Prime members)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a class=\"sc-1aus1tj-0 jQSWof sc-118zqaw-2 iFqstR\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/32gdyhr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sign up<svg class=\"sc-eaj12q-0 ixMGSo sc-culv3z-0 jIhHch sc-1aus1tj-1 DEqVK\"><use href=\"#baddbaa17d236bd5\"\/><\/svg><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc-482ou5-2 eOHevC image align-none\">\n<figure class=\"sc-1cbdeug-0 cpcmmN\">\n<div class=\"sc-482ou5-0 iWwZAp\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.independent.co.uk\/2024\/10\/25\/14\/newFile-4.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.independent.co.uk\/2024\/10\/25\/14\/newFile-4.jpg?quality=75&amp;width=320&amp;auto=webp 320w, https:\/\/static.independent.co.uk\/2024\/10\/25\/14\/newFile-4.jpg?quality=75&amp;width=640&amp;auto=webp 640w\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Kate Bush performing at the Hammersmith Apollo in 2014\" class=\"sc-1mc30lb-0 iSVhwZ\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"sc-1cbdeug-1 sc-1cbdeug-3 hiCdLa liXvvg\">Kate Bush performing at the Hammersmith Apollo in 2014<span class=\"sc-1cbdeug-7 izyooE\"> <!-- -->(<!-- -->Ken McKay\/Shutterstock<!-- -->)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>It is, therefore, impossible to really guess what new music from Bush would sound like \u2013 but you can bet it won\u2019t sound much like the thumping and accessible \u201cRunning Up That Hill\u201d.
