Anji Bee essay in ‘First Time I Heard Kate Bush’ by Scott Heim

Anji Bee contributed 1 of the 39 essays about Kate Bush for the “The First Time I Heard” book series out now on Amazon Kindle and Apple Books.

THE FIRST TIME I HEARD KATE BUSH is Part V in an ongoing series where musicians and writers tell their stories of first hearing the music of an iconic artist or band. In this fifth volume (following the first four installments, which covered Joy Division/New Order, Cocteau Twins, David Bowie, and The Smiths), thirty-nine different musicians and writers remember their initial experiences with hearing Kate Bush, the brilliant, eccentric, influential, and immensely talented British singer/songwriter whose albums include her debut “The Kick Inside,” the classic “The Dreaming” and “Hounds of Love,” and the recent “50 Words For Snow.” The “First Time I Heard” book series is edited by Scott Heim, a novelist (Mysterious Skin, We Disappear) who is also a longtime music fan.
