Kate Bush is "very keen" to make a new album.
The 'Wuthering Heights' hitmaker, 66, hasn't put out a record for more than a decade, the last being 2011's '50 Words For Snow', but she has "lots of ideas" and can't wait to get back into the studio.
Speaking to Emma Barnett on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, she spilled: “I’m very keen to start working on a new album.
“I’ve got lots of ideas. I’m really looking forward to getting back into that creative space. It’s been a long time.”
Despite her desire to make new tunes, Kate – who has released 10 studio album since 1978 – is not ready to return to the stage, noting she is “not there yet”.
Kate has always ensured each release is “different” from the last, so maybe she could be persuaded to take up Damon Albarn’s offer to record something for his animated band Gorillaz.
The Blur star, 56, previously said he hopes the ‘Feel Good Inc’ hitmakers - which he launched with artist Jamie Hewlett in 1998 - can get Kate on one of their songs after working with the likes of Sir Elton John and Lou Reed in the past.
He told the Daily Star newspaper's Wired column: "Well, Kate Bush, that would be wonderful.
"I've never formally asked, but sometimes it's better to drop hints and hope for a reaction. But it's almost impossible to get her out of her world."
Although Damon isn't sure if the hermit singer would be interested, he joked he could have a way to find out as they live in the same county in England.
He added: "I actually know where she lives because we are neighbours in Devon.
"If I want, I could go to her place by foot. Maybe one stormy night I'll risk knocking on her door."
In 2022, Kate's 1985 single 'Running Up That Hill' reached number one in the UK and saw the star enjoy a massive resurgence after it played a key role in the fourth season of Netflix hit 'Stranger Things', with the tune going on to rack up more than a billion streams.
