As the reality sinks in that we have a new album on the way so soon after Director’s Cut, a couple of artists on 50 Words For Snow have tweeted about their involvement.
Stephen Fry tweeted on September 2nd: “Just done a lovely amazing recording thing with a lively amazing musician. Wish I could say more but bound by secrecy for the moment.” Today he confirms his involvement in the new album: “Tweeted that I did a secret recording 10 days ago: can now reveal it was this with the divine Kate Bush”. He included a link to the official site news.

He tweeted the following yesterday: “Yay!!! The Kate Bush album I’m on has been given a release date!!…I’m singing with Kate bush on her new album….I’m singing solo on one of the tracks with her…It’s SO nice to be able to talk about it finally!!”
