I'm in favour of all images of Kate Bush.
― Turrican, Monday, 7 November 2011 23:38 (twelve years ago) link
OK, in all seriousness, it's a beautiful image but it has way too much potential to be derided and dubbed something like Kokey Kate if the album came across as particularly strange to a critic. I mean I like to feign maturity and all but I couldn't help but think of it as Kate in a ski mask after having cased some drug dealer's joint.

this was actually her original design for the LP cover:

She addressed this after more people complained:
A note about fur and photographsFrom Kate...Hi there,We have recently taken some photos and I just want to pre-empt any concerns there might be as I'm sure most of you will feel the same way as I do about wearing real fur. All the fur in these photos is synthetic.Best wishes,Kate
From Kate...

I don't even get the point of wearing fake fur, but at least it's not real...

― Mark G, Tuesday, 8 November 2011 10:16 (twelve years ago) link
There's a review of this in the new Wire btw. Unsurprisingly the reviewer is kind of luke warm on it (it is the Wire after all):
50 Words For Snow is like a wintry riposte to the midsummer day of Aerial's conceptual suite, A Sea Of Honey. Instead of the amber glow of midsummer sunlight, it's another kind of brightness - the whiteness of snow - that presides. The mood is subdued, the backing spare, meditative, but - as we've become used to with Bush - lacking in any adventurousness of spirit; at points, you could even describe it as late night jazz club tasteful.
Also, didn't we predict the following upthread? Can't say I'm relishing the prospect...
Stephen Fry playfully intones the 50 synonyms of the album's title track

Some collaborations should exist only in the imagination - if at all. This is one of them. If this happens it can't be anything but embarrassing for both parties. yeesh.

I'd be okay with him just turning up in some spoken word capacity but honestly I can't imagine many artists whose music is less suitable for MCing over than Kate Bush's and I highly doubt that this collaboration is even in the pipeline in the first place.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 16 August 2012 16:30 (eleven years ago) link
This collaboration is so heartwarming. He's like her biggest fan:
