Essay: The other Kate Bush banger that deserves a comeback right now

When I experienced my first intense love in college, I was drawn to Kate Bush’s dramatic interpretation of “Wuthering Heights.” Her unique, emotional performance captured the essence of Emily Brontë’s 1847 novel in a way that simple summaries never could – even before the age of AI!
