Kate Bush released her tenth studio album, 50 Words for Snow, in 2011. The singer has announced a new project, signaling her return to music after 13 years. The singer announced the project on the occasion of the release of the short film Little Shrew (Snowflake), speaking to Emma Barnett of BBC 4:
“I’ve been caught up doing a lot of archive work over the last few years on all kinds of different levels: redesigning our website, putting a lyric book together. I am very keen to start working on a new album when I’ve got this finished."

The singer continued:
"I’ve got lots of ideas and I’m really looking forward to getting back into that creative space, it’s been a long time. Particularly the last year I’ve felt really ready to start doing something new."
Kate Bush wrote the short film after the Russo-Ukrainian war began
Kate Bush elaborated on the short film in her interview, stating:
"I think it was such a shock for all of us, it’s been such a long period of peace that we’ve all been living through. And I just thought that I really wanted to make a little animation that would feature… originally a little girl, it was really the idea of a child and children who are caught up in war, I wanted to draw attention to how horrific it is for children."
The singer continued:
"So I came up with this idea for a little storyboard. I think to a certain extent we’ve all become really desensitised by the violence that we see in films all the time, where people are just being slaughtered. But if a dog were to be killed in a film, everyone would be up in arms. It’s a terrible thing to say but I think there is an element of truth in that."
The singer also stated that she is not ready to return to performing live. The singer last performed at the Hammersmith Apollo in London, UK in 2014 as part of a 22-night residency.
