Heading into the release of her fourth album, "The Dreaming," Kate Bush was in a comfortable place. Her previous full-length, 1980's "Never For Ever" had become her first chart-topping album in the UK. In fact, it was the first LP ever by a British female solo artist to reach No. 1. "Never For Ever" ultimately produced three Top 20 singles, including the indelible foible "Babooshka." In 1981, a standalone single called "Sat In Your Lap" had also been a success, reaching No. 11 on the charts.
The album is about giving yourself permission to be chaotic and imperfect.
