This is my 1,000th @KateBushMusic feature! I am sharing this now ahead of older features. Here, I discuss why Kate Bush is as important to me now than ever. Why she is so relevant and loved in 2025. There is another important reason for this feature... musicmusingsandsuch.com/musi…

Although I recently wrote about the rise in C.D. sales, there are new reasons to re-explore. Rather than this being fad or nostalgia, it is something that will continue for years. A format once considered obsolete is very much back to the fore: musicmusingsandsuch.com/musi…

Lionheart, @KateBushMusic second studio album, turns forty-eight on 10th November. Rush-released following The Kick Inside's success, I argue why it is am underrated listen. One that remains fascinating, unique and hugely accomplished: musicmusingsandsuch.com/musi…

Spice, the debut album from @spicegirls, turns thirty on 4th November (that is its U.K. date; it was released in September 1996 in Japan). I discuss the legacy and success of the album, and ask how it will be perceived by the press thirty years later: musicmusingsandsuch.com/musi…

The incredible @Sugababes release their eponymous album on 12th February, 2027. In support, there is a run of U.K. tour dates. For this Modern-Day Queens, the original line-up of Keisha Buchanan, Siobhán Donaghy, and Mutya Buena are in my thoughts: musicmusingsandsuch.com/musi…

Don't Give Up is one of @itspetergabriel's most powerful and important songs, in the way it has helped and saved people. With @KateBushMusic duetting, the track turns forty on 27th October. I look inside this classic from Peter Gabriel's 1986 album, So: musicmusingsandsuch.com/musi…

The Black Parade, My Chemical Romance's third studio album, turns twenty on 23rd October. In addition to an expanded reissue of the album, there is rumour of new work from the American band. I explore the phenomenal The Black Parade: musicmusingsandsuch.com/musi…

The commercial and critical reaction to @Tinashe's Popstar has been immense. Her eighth album, it is undoubtably up there with the best of 2026. To me, it is THE strongest album of the year. I include interviews and reviews, but I also ask what comes next: musicmusingsandsuch.com/musi…

One of the biggest tracks ever released, Livin' on a Prayer turns forty on 31st October. The second single from @BonJovi's third studio album, Slippery When Wet, it is a working-class anthem that has impacted millions of people around the world: musicmusingsandsuch.com/musi…

Because @KateBushMusic's Experiment IV turns forty on 27th October, I wanted to revisit an underrated song. A single included on her 1986 greatest hits album, The Whole Story, it is a fascinating example of Bush's endless brilliance: musicmusingsandsuch.com/musi…

A unique and brilliant new music venue situated at Battersea Power Station, Apple Music Hall has some big names booked for the coming weeks. I write why it is a boon to the London music scene, and whether they are open to less mainstream events/acts: musicmusingsandsuch.com/musi…
