Kate Bush has admitted that the length of time it takes her to release an album can be “extremely stressful”.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the BBC, the singer – whose last album, Aerial, came out in 2005 – said she had written new songs but did not know when they would be released.<\/p>\n

“It’s very frustrating the albums take as long as they do,” the 52-year-old told Radio 4’s Front Row. “I wish there weren’t such big gaps between them.”<\/p>\n

An album of reworked songs, Director’s Cut, is released later this month.<\/p>\n

The collection features material from her Sensual World and Red Shoes albums, released in 1989 and 1993 respectively.<\/p>\n

A new version of Deeper Understanding was released as a single in April, with a video starring Robbie Coltrane, Noel Fielding and Frances Barber.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Radio Four’s Front Row arts programme, the singer denied she was a perfectionist in the recording studio.<\/p>\n

“I don’t think I am,” she said. “People have said this, but I don’t think I really want anything to be perfect.<\/p>\n

“I think it’s important that things are flawed,” she continued.<\/p>\n

“That’s what makes a piece of art interesting sometimes – the bit that’s wrong or the mistake you’ve made that’s led onto an idea you wouldn’t have had otherwise.”<\/p>\n

Bush described her new material as “work in progress”, but was unwilling to say when it might see the light of day.<\/p>\n

“Even if I was able to talk about it now, it might completely change in a few weeks and so would no longer be relevant.”<\/p>\n

The star, whose hits include Wuthering Heights and Running Up That Hill, has been famously reclusive in recent years.<\/p>\n

The full Kate Bush interview can be heard on Front Row on Radio 4 at 1915 BST on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
