This is probably the best interview I've ever heard anyone get from her. People are usually so weird when approaching her but this interviewer spoke to her like she was a normal human being and it seems like she really responded well to that lol
razrv3lc The interviewer is very good. I would act weird as hell in an interview right now at my age. Give me half a lifetime & a few trial runs, and I’m sure I would also sound like a “normal human” 🙂😉
It’s all to do with age I think, and that other musicians in this day and age really ‘get’ Kate. Years ago they really didn’t. Plus she’s an older individual now and has much more confidence and understanding in herself and her artistic muse. Just always beautiful to hear this woman speak.
A genius of music that did not just make music for fame and money. It's mysterious how she manages to conquer a world without being too much in the spotlight. A beautiful, working woman and for whom she has not received from the public what she deserves.
Fantastic way to end 2020, I just discovered this interview and it was the best Kate Bush interview I’ve heard, awesome thank you Matt, I’m all set for 2021 now... just finished as 12 midnight rolled by...
I was 12 years old when Wuthering Heights came out..I*m 53 now..and i still find something new in it every time..as with everything Kate's..but of course, the first album made such a HUGE impact on me at that age..with so many horrible things happening in my family life at the time..the whole album became like an anchor in my life..I escaped in to the world of the Kick Inside every single night..it took me to another world, where i didn't have to feel the heavy burdens of life that no 12 year old should need to feel.. Kate, in a sense, saved my life with that album. Love this woman forever more.
Yes I was 15 when wuthering heights came out and completely awakened me to who I truly was X saved me too from a dark childhood and lifted me into magical world's X she was the only one there for me which sounds strange when I didn't know her but that's the healing power of music X especially kates X something so special about her and magical X love her deeply for that xxxxxx🙏💚
I was 13 when the kick inside was released I had bought wuthering heights with my pocket money and also the man with a child in his eyes. Kate Bush also helped me through a chaotic time in my life. She is a talented, wonderful artist.
An insightful interview, and she’s very generous about how she works. Great pity there isn’t a visual record, like a dvd, for the enormous amount of people who couldn’t get a ticket for the 2014 shows. Perhaps recording it properly was a logistical nightmare too big to carry forward. A pity, nonetheless....
Still love you Kate, ever since 78. You made so much great music that will stand the test of time. Once, it must have been 1979, i came to see you. Naive boy i was, i figured you had to know it was me. So i got a registrationplate for my 50cc bike, packed up and moved out. Gogh, my parents must have thought i was crazy. But they helped actually and never laughed or said anything about it. And there i went, off to england. Took the ferry to Folkstone and got there by night. I had 500 guilders i think and figured it would be enough to get there and stay for a bit. Some guy on the radio had said you lived in Plumbstead, Kent. So i thought i would be able to find that and ask around where you lived. haha, it all sounds so stupid now. I was going to do bed and breakfast and my 500 would be enough to spend a week or smth, i thought. But it was all full so i drove through the dark to some other town, still at the coast it seemed later and i was getting tired. So there was a hotel and i thought i would do that. By the time i had calculated how much it cost me, i had already said yes. So, i lost half my money there, but the room had a nice view over a small harbor and beach. I listened to your songs, bc i had brought a casette players and tapes. I went down to try to find the address and browsed through thick phone books, but could not find it. So i asked the nice man from the hotel. And he didnt know either. Couldnt even find plumbstead, let alone your address. And he didnt know either. So, since my money wasnt sufficient anymore and i had no idea where to go, the next day i drove towards London. With my small bike, normally here in NL only allowed at the time on bicycle lanes, but in britain i had to drive among the cars and trucks and on the left side of course. At some point decided that this mission had failed. So i went back home. So, thats why i didnt make it love ;] as if you were waiting for me... hahahah God how naive i was. Years later, and a tad more mature, i was with my sister in London, to see some museums and so. At some point we had to take a bus somewhere and as i read the routes on the sign, there , right there it said "Plumbstead" !!!! It was IN London actually. Ofc by that time i had realized i wasnt exactly the only person you made music for and that there were many millions of people, fans, of whom many would love you. And that to you, i was of course an unknown somewhat odd fan. So i secretly kept loving you, from a distance, but will always remember how i felt back then and wonder about how strange this connection is you can feel. Im 61 now and accidently stumbled upon your music again. I dont listen much music anymore, bc it became too painfull and i cant fall apart all the time. Day before yesterday i had to let my big friend, my cat (Nooby) go. Burried him yesterday, so i am allowed to cry a bit. Which is why i decided to listen some songs and let the emotion flow a bit. Anyway. I still love you, although of course you dont know me at all. And i hereby thank you for all the beautifull, magical music you made, that very much enriched my life. And of course, just in case you were waiting for me, there is the explanation on why i didnt make it. I DID try ;] hehehe
A life-affirming interview from 20th November 2016 by BBC Radio 6 Music presenter Matt Everitt. The interview from 29th October 1982 by veteran BBC TV/Radio presenter Paul Gambaccini for Pebble Mill at One(TV) is also excellent; not least for being respectful. [ ua-cam.com/video/uSQ6ispjgnU/v-deo.html ] These are unequivocally the very best professional interviews to date conducted with our wonderfully talented and scintillating Kate Bush.
So Kate says how important the visual part of the show was but will not release the DVD. Does she realise how many fans were unable to get tickets? There was no way i could get one.
Disappointing about the DVD. The people that never got to see the visuals can use their imaginations, but it does not seem fair. It was an incredible set and show, yet the live album left me a little cold. I did hear a bootleg audio copy and it transported me right back there. The sound was amazing with the audience participation. Great interview.
On the dvd release ‘for me it’s far more representative of being there’. Yes, those lucky enough to get tickets! It’s an ongoing discussion, and I understand her reasons for not putting the dvd out, but I feel like there are millions of dedicated fans who are missing out on a fragment of the experience because of this. Of course many fans will disagree, particularly those who were lucky enough to go and see the show for themselves! I don’t think a visual Home release would have hurt, but if it devalues and visually degrades the quality of the visual physical experience then I understand it might be for the best.
If anyone has YT premium please download all the Kate Bush interviews please. They are being deleted a lot. Esp. Ones 2000 and on. Please if you do post them.
GREAT as this is I gotta call epic fail amidst Kate mentioning the "importance" of the drummer & you missed the obvious chance to ask WHY said drummer was NOT Stuart Elliot?!??!? Or Del on bass??? I doubt they would've been booked up that far in the future Y'know? So what be the 411 on that would ya know???
express your disgust at Rolf Harris Kate call out Rolf Harris..remove those tracks u did with that low life rock spider..denounce Rolf Harris Kate c'mon don't be a sell out
sk m fucking hell pipe down mate, it’s not like she can go back in time and not record them. Like the guy said other than recording a few tracks with him years ago she has nothing to do with him. Are you expecting the bloke who delivered his post to denounce him as well?
This interview is bloody brilliant. She comes off as natural and relaxed and the interviewer is very respectful and very cordial. Also he has a lovely speaking voice. Very calming to listen to.
"Its not a full stop, its more of a rather big comma" .... I truly hope i am here to hear the next episode of a fantastic story of music, life and love...
Just lost my Kate Bush virginity.. Been listening to all her albums over two days, and, my God, what an amazing artist she is. Sooo diverse, sooo unpredictable, sooo rich.. One of the best female artists of all time, regardless of "genre."
@@joelewishenry7886 I'm still desperately looking for a female artist who comes close to Kate. London Grammar, Freya Ridings and Florence & the Machine are great but I'm still looking for the successor to Kate Bush. I haven't found one yet.
Nice interview.The interviewer brought the best out in her and was obviously a big fan.Her speaking voice is as Beautiful as Her singing voice.I could listen to her reading a shopping list and it would send shivers down my spine.God bless her gentle soul and the music that gentleness has created.She's a genuine one off and a British treasure.And up there with the Beatles for the amount of great songs.
I thank the universe that I was lucky enough to attend a performance of 'Before The Dawn' live in London, 2014. It was without a doubt the greatest concert I've ever experienced. Thank you sooooo much Kate for coming back to performing live!
Kate seems almost like she has intruder syndrome, like she doesn’t realize how talented she is and how much we all love her. I mean I’m a fan of many musical acts but Kate is probably my ultimate role model and absolute favorite💜. I do wish I could have been able to afford a trip to England to see her live, but I’m still very thankful for the live album.
If I could go back in time to see a concert this would be the one. The Hounds of Love is such an amazing album and brings back a lot of great memories. That was 1985 & I was in University, hard to believe it was that long ago. What an amazing women and talent.
She's very humble, but also, all true artists are never satisfied with their work and always questioning if their work is good enough, which pushes them to be brilliant. If she was "confident," or worse, she wouldn't be the genius that she is. Also, she has only done two sets of live shows decades apart, so of course she's going to be afraid of how it will turn out and really hoping that people will love her performance after taking such a huge risk putting herself out there.
Listened to many of the Kate Bush interviews & they've always felt very awkward down to the interviewer's lack of preparation, but I have to say this interviewer really got Kate to open up, what a fantastic interview I really feel like I got to know Kate a little more as the woman and not the artist ❤️🌹
Watching this for the 1000th time and I must say: This guy is the best interviewer I have even seen. No one had ever extracted so much from Kate, I believe. It's AMAZING!
This was incredible to listen to for many reasons. For one thing, this is one of the most recent things we've heard from Kate Bush, and another is that she's really very open in it and forthcoming about many things, more open than she's almost ever been in any interview. You can feel her heart, her humanity, and that's what we've always loved about her - her songs and music and stories and dancing and videos are brilliant, but it was always the human being and her heart behind all of it that we fell in love with and have been in love with all these years.
10:40 "I think that was the last night" I actually laughed out loud! So happy to see the years haven't taken away that beautiful quirkiness I've fallen in love with
The bit I really enjoyed was the end" and then laughs after she describes she was terrified going on stage. Also the bit about the phones in the audience.. the connection with her audience. She's so honest..genuine and sweet.
I wish I could see her live / meet her in the future. I know that's basically impossible but I still have hope. I respect and admire her for enjoying the "normal life" and I wish her all the happiness in the world.
As an introverted person, I can relate to Kate and understand why she stopped touring. Live performances must be so exhausting and stressful and yet rewarding too. It must take a tole on a person’s energy and at times sanity. I’m really grateful Kate decided to perform these shows and it must have been difficult for her so thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️ ♥️ 💜.
This lady is beautiful inside and out. I have loved her for 40 years. When my mates had blondy on their wall, I had Kate. I never got to see her live but would love to.
I do love the new live album with all my heart but for me the greatest (by far) Kate Bush 'album' (It's a bootleg) I own is called The Shrubberies. It's a collection of demos Kate recorded as a very young woman. It's very raw, just her untrained often faltering voice and a piano. It's probably one of the most precious possessions I own. Great interview by the way, I love what she says about a live album being more provocative than a DVD. It's like comparing a book to a film (the book is always better) with a book you can let your imagination wander and create your own experience while immersed in it. thanks for sharing Trevor.
col4022 heard pieces of it in the 90's & I was FLOORED too! Organic Acid was insanely conceptual for a teen girl in the 70's back then! She was into ZAPPA back then too😮😮😮 probably thanks to David Gilmore but I'd not be surprised if she discovered Frank on her own.
col4022 I've got this too, I'm pretty sure mine was a fan bootleg on cd. Idk if it was ever officially released as it is super raw which can be off putting for some. I'm pretty sure most of it is just one mic into a reel to reel recorder, but it's all the more beautiful because of it. Demo material can be so voyeuristic, potent and vital. I come back to it all the time. It's cool to see someone mention it.
I think this may have been the last time we heard her voice, I miss her so much! This was such a great interview! She's just so humble and lovely and so fascinating. I found her in 2019 and it was life-changing. If she only knew how much she means to this young Swedish girl haha... Her music and just her as a person brings me so much comfort. I've never felt this connected to any human before, not even in real life. It's like our souls are connected but when I say that I just sound crazy. It's hard to explain, I think every fans relationship with her is so personal it can't really be put into words.
That show was amazing, it really was. Ive been a big fan since the early 80s and honestly I thought a live performance would have never happened. not sure she will do it again but you never know!
The more I hear/watch Kate's interviews and her work, the more I feel that I have a lot in common with her. I'm a very creative guy and I've always identified myself as an 'intensity junkie'. I think that describes her as well. She loves exploring the most extreme emotions, and she's always driven to create more. I know how that feels: I'm never happy unless I'm writing music or words, or even software. Anything, as long as it brings my soul out into the physical world. That's something I recognise in Kate's music and in her visual performances, and that's why I regard her as a great artist. Looking forward to hearing the live album!
It's interesting how she describes being alone in the ocean at night as a terrifying image. I have done scuba and free diving in the Ocean at night and it's amazing. Especially if you turn off the light and just experience it. Love the Ocean. But stage performance: that's my absolute worst nightmare. Kudos to her for coming back. Really wished I could have seen it. Hope to see her next time if it ever happens again.
Kate Bush Mam, in my place (Chennai, India) wherever i go i carry your unique lovable songs and listening thru mobile ear phone. that way we are fortunate to have a mobile.
Is it Zane Lowe interviewing Kate Bush? She has a voice like strawberry, chocolate, sugar, butter, it is so soothing. I remember one of my first memories seeing Wuthering heights on TV in early 80’s even though I didn’t understand what she sang I cried and asked my parent what the song is about. Knowing now its origin I’m going to read the book. Both versions. People who experience ‘before the dawn’ I envy you. I hope Kate has different view on recording live performance.
I AM disappointed that you refuse to release a visual representation of the last tour.....you can make these excuses and/or arguements till you are blue in the face , but the fact of the matter is this show demands to be released on bluray/DVD whatever , if only for those many folks like myself who couldn't be with you in 2014!!! Philip Glass prevarecated with his Einstein on the Beach opera for similar reasons before finally allowing its filming and release.....no its not like being there (obviously) but its a mighty fine second best! That is what I'd like from you Miss Bush! A mighty fine second best visual experience better than none at all !!! Thankyou.
Buying the Lp Before The Dawn, is like coming in from Outer Space & I’ve just reached the part of the atmosphere where there’s SOME oxygen, but I won’t have PURE oxygen until this DVD 📀 is Released! If I die before any of the visuals of BTD come out, I will haunt Kate Bush 😉 xo
I bought an Ipod for the first time a few years ago so I could download her albums from the internet and listen to them on my own. And you know what? that's all that there still is on my Ipod - her albums. That must sound creepy to most normal people. But that's how I listened to each of her albums in chronological order, lying on my bed at night, alone in the dark, my eyes closed, with my Ipod earphones on. This album will continue our conversation.
i just emerged from two hours of old interviews of hers and when her voice came up on this one i was like WHO THE HELL IS THIS WOMAN SPEAKIN IN THE NAME OF but then there's something so particular about her inflection and accent and the joining of ideas... i wonder if everyone's voices just get five tones lower as we age.
She should write a song about her taking her ear things out because it sounds fascinating what she was saying about it. Also any Madonna fans see the similarity between Madame X and this show in that the phone ban and the theatrical element?
This is probably the best interview I've ever heard anyone get from her. People are usually so weird when approaching her but this interviewer spoke to her like she was a normal human being and it seems like she really responded well to that lol

Dead set ... you hit the nail on the head.
The band was a “dream band”, and her audience a “dream audience”. What a gracious artist she is. Such amazing gratitude!

Still love you Kate, ever since 78. You made so much great music that will stand the test of time.

Also, she has only done two sets of live shows decades apart, so of course she's going to be afraid of how it will turn out and really hoping that people will love her performance after taking such a huge risk putting herself out there.
She just has always seemed so composed and grounded. If anybody deserves not to be it’s her.
Listened to many of the Kate Bush interviews & they've always felt very awkward down to the interviewer's lack of preparation, but I have to say this interviewer really got Kate to open up, what a fantastic interview I really feel like I got to know Kate a little more as the woman and not the artist ❤️🌹
She talks so relaxed. :-) Love to hear hear again about her work, her experiences.
I love how sincere she is. One of the absolute best. Humble and gentle.
She's an Enigma and a Prodigy, her absence makes her all the more a mystery, I love you Kate..
@Nancy Williams No.
She's the epitome of pure class
Watching this for the 1000th time and I must say: This guy is the best interviewer I have even seen.
No one had ever extracted so much from Kate, I believe.
It's AMAZING!
This was incredible to listen to for many reasons. For one thing, this is one of the most recent things we've heard from Kate Bush, and another is that she's really very open in it and forthcoming about many things, more open than she's almost ever been in any interview. You can feel her heart, her humanity, and that's what we've always loved about her - her songs and music and stories and dancing and videos are brilliant, but it was always the human being and her heart behind all of it that we fell in love with and have been in love with all these years.
10:40 "I think that was the last night" I actually laughed out loud! So happy to see the years haven't taken away that beautiful quirkiness I've fallen in love with
UA-cam should have heart reaction option cause I love this
I could of sat here & spent another couple of hours just listening to Kate talk,
What a woman ❤️
Kate the great.
It is always so wonderful to hear Ms Bush talk about her craft. She is an inspiration, and a truly great artist !
Many thanks for uploading this, very much appreciated
Thank you.
Yes, seconded; thank you!

Thank you so much for uploading this great interview. Kate is such a huge inspiration & wonderful presence. I love listening to her talk. What a lady!
The bit I really enjoyed was the end" and then laughs after she describes she was terrified going on stage. Also the bit about the phones in the audience.. the connection with her audience. She's so honest..genuine and sweet.
I wish I could see her live / meet her in the future. I know that's basically impossible but I still have hope. I respect and admire her for enjoying the "normal life" and I wish her all the happiness in the world.
As an introverted person, I can relate to Kate and understand why she stopped touring. Live performances must be so exhausting and stressful and yet rewarding too. It must take a tole on a person’s energy and at times sanity. I’m really grateful Kate decided to perform these shows and it must have been difficult for her so thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️ ♥️ 💜.
This lady is beautiful inside and out. I have loved her for 40 years. When my mates had blondy on their wall, I had Kate. I never got to see her live but would love to.
Her last studio album was in 2011. She'll be 61 in July. Is there more coming from her? Please. 👃
Let's hope so eh?
I’d say so. Kate said in this interview it’s not a full stop, but just a big comma. I’d say they’ll be something soon from Kate one day.
@@TomPlotagon ABBA said the exact same thing.
@@danielricardo5029 and now they are back, so there's hope
I do love the new live album with all my heart but for me the greatest (by far) Kate Bush 'album' (It's a bootleg) I own is called The Shrubberies. It's a collection of demos Kate recorded as a very young woman. It's very raw, just her untrained often faltering voice and a piano. It's probably one of the most precious possessions I own. Great interview by the way, I love what she says about a live album being more provocative than a DVD. It's like comparing a book to a film (the book is always better) with a book you can let your imagination wander and create your own experience while immersed in it. thanks for sharing Trevor.
Thank you X
col4022 heard pieces of it in the 90's & I was FLOORED too!
Organic Acid was insanely conceptual for a teen girl in the 70's back then!
She was into ZAPPA back then too😮😮😮 probably thanks to David Gilmore but I'd not be surprised if she discovered Frank on her own.
col4022 I've got this too, I'm pretty sure mine was a fan bootleg on cd. Idk if it was ever officially released as it is super raw which can be off putting for some. I'm pretty sure most of it is just one mic into a reel to reel recorder, but it's all the more beautiful because of it. Demo material can be so voyeuristic, potent and vital. I come back to it all the time. It's cool to see someone mention it.
Beautiful creative charming Lady
Thank you so much for uplaoding this interview! She is my favorite female artist from my youth, just incredible ~
She reminds me of all 4 Queen band members in one person.
Love her xxx
Matt Everitt's voice is so soothing. Could listen to it all day
One does not simply fall out of love with Kate Bush.
I think this may have been the last time we heard her voice, I miss her so much! This was such a great interview! She's just so humble and lovely and so fascinating.
I found her in 2019 and it was life-changing. If she only knew how much she means to this young Swedish girl haha... Her music and just her as a person brings me so much comfort. I've never felt this connected to any human before, not even in real life. It's like our souls are connected but when I say that I just sound crazy. It's hard to explain, I think every fans relationship with her is so personal it can't really be put into words.
That show was amazing, it really was. Ive been a big fan since the early 80s and honestly I thought a live performance would have never happened. not sure she will do it again but you never know!
The more I hear/watch Kate's interviews and her work, the more I feel that I have a lot in common with her. I'm a very creative guy and I've always identified myself as an 'intensity junkie'. I think that describes her as well. She loves exploring the most extreme emotions, and she's always driven to create more. I know how that feels: I'm never happy unless I'm writing music or words, or even software. Anything, as long as it brings my soul out into the physical world. That's something I recognise in Kate's music and in her visual performances, and that's why I regard her as a great artist. Looking forward to hearing the live album!
It's interesting how she describes being alone in the ocean at night as a terrifying image. I have done scuba and free diving in the Ocean at night and it's amazing. Especially if you turn off the light and just experience it. Love the Ocean. But stage performance: that's my absolute worst nightmare.
Kudos to her for coming back. Really wished I could have seen it. Hope to see her next time if it ever happens again.
Love Kate and this interview.Thanx so much.
Tnx for uploading,i was there with my sister in 2014,unforgetable.
deejay i was there too! Just wow!

What a great interview!
I got to see the show in person. Greatest live show i ever experienced and i've seen everyone who is iconic.
One of the best interviews with Kate ever !
An amazing artist yet so humble.
Great interview, and a great artist. Kate Bush is fantastic, love her laugh and her honesty. I hope she will do a show in Toronto, fingers crossed.
Kate Bush Mam, in my place (Chennai, India) wherever i go i carry your unique lovable songs and listening thru mobile ear phone. that way we are fortunate to have a mobile.
Thank you for sharing this! I love Kate Bush so much!
Is it Zane Lowe interviewing Kate Bush? She has a voice like strawberry, chocolate, sugar, butter, it is so soothing. I remember one of my first memories seeing Wuthering heights on TV in early 80’s even though I didn’t understand what she sang I cried and asked my parent what the song is about. Knowing now its origin I’m going to read the book. Both versions. People who experience ‘before the dawn’ I envy you. I hope Kate has different view on recording live performance.
No it's dj and former Menswear drummer Matt Everitt.
Kate is such a treasure, and my true pleasure since 1979.
I think Kate has a beautiful mind, and one hell of an imagination! What a very special lady...
She is so real ,
I AM disappointed that you refuse to release a visual representation of the last tour.....you can make these excuses and/or arguements till you are blue in the face , but the fact of the matter is this show demands to be released on bluray/DVD whatever , if only for those many folks like myself who couldn't be with you in 2014!!! Philip Glass prevarecated with his Einstein on the Beach opera for similar reasons before finally allowing its filming and release.....no its not like being there (obviously) but its a mighty fine second best! That is what I'd like from you Miss Bush! A mighty fine second best visual experience better than none at all !!! Thankyou.
Quero que a kate bush volte a ter 18 anos novamente...dino avelino .guaruja .brazil...
Thank you so very much for uploading this. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Gosh . . . I really love her and her music. A fantastic, thoughtful and talented artist. Thank you, David Gilmore. What a gift to the world. Thank you
Kate Bush is everything!
Buying the Lp Before The Dawn, is like coming in from Outer Space & I’ve just reached the part of the atmosphere where there’s SOME oxygen, but I won’t have PURE oxygen until this DVD 📀 is Released! If I die before any of the visuals of BTD come out, I will haunt Kate Bush 😉 xo
Release the damn DVD, for goodness sake!!!!
I want to buy the new album now. I was afraid to at first, but now I'm not.
Daxkalak I hope you enjoy it, it doesn't feel the same as it did when I was there but it's a really good document of the shows
I bought an Ipod for the first time a few years ago so I could download her albums from the internet and listen to them on my own. And you know what? that's all that there still is on my Ipod - her albums. That must sound creepy to most normal people.
But that's how I listened to each of her albums in chronological order, lying on my bed at night, alone in the dark, my eyes closed, with my Ipod earphones on.
This album will continue our conversation.
YES!! Its like you are following her story - hope you are enjoying the latest addition :)
Dont be afraid, go towards the light my Son.
Gutted I couldn't get tickets. Nice interview Kate is such a lovely lady and an incredible artist.
It's amazing how much lower her speaking voice is now. Still unmistakably Kate though.
She's so wonderful
This girl is a legend of my youth
Was lucky enough to see this show... just incredible. Best thing I've ever seen live!
You're so lucky! I would give anything to have seen this show. I really hope she releases a DVD of the footage someday.
Genius
waiting for the big comma to end
How wonderfully done this is,,,I really enjoyed hearing this interview, great job 👏👏👏
i just emerged from two hours of old interviews of hers and when her voice came up on this one i was like WHO THE HELL IS THIS WOMAN SPEAKIN IN THE NAME OF but then there's something so particular about her inflection and accent and the joining of ideas... i wonder if everyone's voices just get five tones lower as we age.
Her voice hasn't changed that much
Genuis no question!
Great interview. The live show sounds incredible.
She should write a song about her taking her ear things out because it sounds fascinating what she was saying about it. Also any Madonna fans see the similarity between Madame X and this show in that the phone ban and the theatrical element?
She's not a recluse, she's an introvert.
Kass Ayala she’s not an introvert either, she just has no interest in the show business superficial shite side of the music business....simple
100% the same as Sade
@@davidgp2011 Exactly. Agreed.
