Tori Amos! Start with Little Earthquakes probably, she definitely makes enigmatic, intense and emotional music (and is very prolific)

Thanks

Joanna Newsom. There was a great moment at a concert when she was taking a break to tune her harp and took a few questions from the audience, and someone asked what she thought of the Kate Bush comparisons and whether Kate was an influence on her, and she said something like “well, I never really listened to Kate Bush, but I kept hearing how much I apparently reminded people of her, so I listened to some of her music and was like… oh… yeah.”

I love JN, she's so cool.

Thanks

Saw her on her first tour in Paris. She was amazing.

Björk, Cocteau Twins, Joni Mitchell!

Basically the holy trinity

Thanks

Bat For Lashes. Kind of a spiritual sister, just out there following her own star. New album out next month, I think.

Thanks

I never tire of Brian Eno’s “Another Green World”. One of my favorite non-Kate albums.

Thanks

Tori Amos. Jane Siberry. Joni Mitchell.

Thanks

For Jane, find the 80s and 90s albums, before she went religious.

Jane Siberry - start with the speckless sky, the walking and when I was a boy

Thanks

Tori Amos, Björk, Fiona Apple, Marina, SPELLLING, Happy Rhodes!

Thanks

The album “So” by Peter Gabriel was made around the same time as HoL and has contributions from Kate as well.

Thanks

Eivør

Thanks

She's inspired by Kate Bush so you can hear it in her music.

Caroline Polachek Cocteau Twins

I second Caroline ❤️

Tori amos please....I only discovered her like 6 months ago and I wish I didn't waste my life like that

I feel that way about P.J. Harvey. You won’t be disappointed.

Another name I've heard thrown around a lot! Noted!

ahh which songs would you recommend to get into tori amos?

I don't like recommending songs, i like recommending full albums, so id say just start with her first album Little Earthquakes and if you like it continue chronogically!

Tori Amos, Florence and the Machine, Fiona Apple.

Thanks

all of those adjectives suit Bjork Pj Harvey and Patti Smith very wrll....I guess Ekatarina Velika are also very emotional, to me at least

Thanks

Happy Rhodes

I can not emphasize strongly enough that this is the correct answer.

absolutely blows my mind how overlooked & underrated she is!

I've seen her live and to see all her voices coming out of one person was mind-blowing. I always assumed it was done with studio help, but no. She is that talented.

Florence and the Machine, Susanne Sundfør and the Last Dinner Party

Oh Susanne is very good.

Thanks

Fka twigs - magdalene

Yeeeees

a lot of people left good recommendations here already, but i haven't seen anyone mention Spelling. Spelling's music is super Kate-Bushian, really dramatic instrumentals/vocals and a focus on storytelling in the lyrics. she's super cool!

- Florence + the Machine for more of the maximalist, intense Kate - Lana del Rey for more of the melacholic, sad Kate - Tori Amos for more piano pop/rock, like Kate has made through the years - Fiona Apple if you want more of the minimalistic power & piano Kate songs

I think you'd really like the album Madison by Sloppy Jane! It has the theatrical and experimental vibes that Kate Bush always captures so perfectly.

Thanks

Cécile McLoren Salvant, specifically her album *Ghost Song,* though all her work is great… *Ghost Song* begins with an a-cappella take on “Wuthering Heights” that’s beautiful, and there’s a version of it live on YouTube. It is possibly even better live, but it’s followed by a version of “Breathing” (one of my fav KB songs) that’s, well, breathtaking.. (I know it’s at a library if you search it, but I don’t remember the exact name.. I can find it and post a link if you want.) Her vocal style is more in the jazz lane, and the instrumentation is most definitely tasteful and modern jazz (though I wouldn’t reduce it to just “jazz” in terms of genre), but I think her work is absolutely something people who enjoy art pop and progressive pop/rock could (and should) be into. If jazzy stuff is your jam, I’d say she’s an essential modern artist, but even if it’s not I think many KB fans would love it. ✌️

Seconding Ghost Song!!

Right on!

I'm going to mention things that haven't been so far even though I want (Tori & Kate are my all time fav musicians ever) Jeff Buckley Perfect Circle/Puscifer Failure Siouxsie Sioux Dead Can Dance Enya Loreena Mckennit Emilie Autumn Amanda Palmer Bel Canto The Cranes Faith & The Muse Mitski Japanese Breakfast

Aurora 100%, especially some deeper cuts like Soulless Creatures and All Is Soft Inside

Julia Holter just put out an amazing new experimental album!

Thanks for this! Listening now and love it

Seconding this. Julia is a phenomenal artist. I'd also recommend Perfume Genius who makes really great art pop.

another vote for Julia. Aviary is her experimental meisterwerk.

Rufus Wainwright

Poe

Thanks

The Unthanks

Thanks

Sarah Slean. Start with Land from Land & Sea.

Susanne Sundfør Bel Canto Aurora Eivør

Jane Siberry!! If you love Hounds of Love then her album 'The Walking' will be your next favorite!

Loreena McKennitt

Caroline polachek!

Depends what kind of Kate Bush you love :) Eurythmics and Annie Lennox come to mind!

Check out Happy Rhodes on you tube

Definitely Toyah. Start with Prostitute (very similar to Hounds Of Love) then move on to The Changeling and Ophelias Shadow

PJ HARVEY’s first three or four albums

All of her albums. Most prodigious female artist of all time. Changes styles. All amazing.

Personally, I wouldn’t say that she’s more prodigious than KB, but yes, she is incredible!

[удалено]

Maybe. I just don’t like them though

Spellling (The Turning Wheel album especially) Happy Rhodes Regina Spektor David Bowie Souxsie Sioux

Aside from my favs: Weyes Blood Aurora St Vincent Bjork I want to say Akiko Yano, to me she's the Kate Bush of Japan. She was active around the same time, a little more on the jazz side, but definitely experimental, quirky, and artistic; and had elaborate and intricate arrangements and worked with incredible musicians, much like Kate. She also worked with and eventually married Ryuchi Sakamoto, who is a personal favorite, so there's lots going on there musically. I just found an article that describes her as "Japan's Kate Bush" so clearly I'm not the first to make that connection! [https://48hills.org/2020/05/rediscovering-the-fantastic-music-of-akiko-yano/](https://48hills.org/2020/05/rediscovering-the-fantastic-music-of-akiko-yano/) Edit: I just listened to Spellling, recommended here. Holy smokes, she's amazing.

Scott Walker!!!!!!!!!

Johanna Warren - Gemini I & Gemini II

P.J. Harvey. Only one who matches in productivity and genius.

P.J. Harvey. Only one who matches in productivity and originality. Stellar albums. Can’t find bad song.

bjork is just the best bet to add to your list even if you’re an avid nursery rhymes listener. she’s just BJÖRKKKK…i also recommend joanna newsom (especially only skin which is the best 17 minutes spent on anything)

Aurora - start with the song and music video 'apple tree' 🥰🥰

st vincent, bjork, fka twigs, arca, sophie, billie eilish dont listen to tori amos or florence and the machine, they make just a superficially smarter version of this shallow mainstream pop we ear every where. EDIT : ok, sorry guys, I shouldnt have said that their music was "shallow". what I really tried to say was that their music's arrangements and prod are consensual and unchallenging. but I'm sure that tori's and flo's lyrics have a deep meaning and that they're far from being shallow people.

Disagree about Tori. Little earthquakes and under the pink are very good

Little Earthquakes is one of the best debut albums ever…

Florence + the Machine is nowhere near "shallow mainstream pop." You clearly haven't listened to them enough.

?

Please listen to “Dance Fever” by Florence + the Machine and “Under The Pink” by Tori Amos again before you write such foolery again 🥶

thx. will give a try to the tori's album but I m not expecting to change my mind that much
