And Finally Artist News
Kate Bush is “this generation’s Kate Bush”, says Caroline Polachek
By Chris Cooke | Published on Monday 16 January 2023
Caroline Polachek is getting tired of people dubbing her “this generation’s Kate Bush”, which seems fair enough.
I think we can all see how being compared to a music legend could initially seem like a nice thing, but soon become rather tedious. Plus, Polachek noted in a tweet on Friday night, surely Kate Bush is this generation’s Kate Bush? Especially since the good old ‘Stranger Things’ boost of 2022.
“While I realise it’s a huge compliment”, she tweeted, “I’m endlessly fucking annoyed by being told I’m ‘this generation’s Kate Bush’. SHE is our generation’s Kate Bush, she is an active artist who’s topping the charts, and is irreplaceable. I, meanwhile, am this generation’s Caroline Polachek”.
So, please take note before you find yourself making any lazy musical comparisons this week.
