The Red Shoes is the seventh studio album by English musician Kate Bush. Released on 1 November 1993,[1] it was accompanied by Bush`s short film, The Line, the Cross and the Curve, and was her last album before a 12-year hiatus.

The album peaked at number two on the UK Albums Chart and has been certified platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), denoting shipments in excess of 300,000 copies.[4] In the United States, the album reached number 28 on the Billboard 200, her highest-peaking album on the chart at the time.

In November 2018, Bush released box sets of remasters of her studio albums, including a new remaster The Red Shoes. `Eat the Music` was re-released on a 10` vinyl record for Record Store Day in April 2024, featuring B-sides `Lily` and `Big Stripey Lie` from the original album.[5][6] The song charted at No. 77 on the UK Singles Midweek Update dated 22 April 2024.[7]

Overview
The Red Shoes was inspired by the 1948 film of the same name by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, which itself was inspired by the fairy tale of the same name by Hans Christian Andersen. It concerns a dancer, possessed by her art, who cannot take off the eponymous shoes and find peace.

Bush had suffered a series of bereavements during the making of The Red Shoes, including the loss of her mother, Hannah, who died in 1992 and the death of her guitarist, Alan Murphy. Bush`s long-term relationship with bassist Del Palmer had ended, although the pair continued to work together. `I`ve been very affected by these last two years`, she remarked in late 1991. `They`ve been incredibly intense years for me. Maybe not on a work level, but a lot has happened to me. I feel I`ve learnt a lot – and, yes, I think [my next album] is going to be quite different... I hope the people that are waiting for it feel it`s worth the wait.`[8]

The Red Shoes featured more high-profile cameo appearances than her previous efforts. The track `Why Should I Love You?` featured instrumental and vocal contributions from Prince as well as guest vocals from comedian Lenny Henry. Trio Bulgarka (who had contributed to The Sensual World) appeared on three songs: `You`re the One`, `The Song of Solomon`, and `Why Should I Love You?`. `And So Is Love` features guitar work by Eric Clapton; Gary Brooker (from the band Procol Harum) and Jeff Beck also participated in the recording sessions.

The album was recorded digitally, and Bush has since expressed regrets about the results of this, which is why she revisited seven of the songs using analogue tape for her 2011 album Director`s Cut, as well as releasing a remastered version of The Red Shoes in 2011, based on the master from an analogue backup tape.[9]

Bush had suggested she might tour in support of The Red Shoes and deliberately aimed for a `live band` feel, with less of the studio trickery that had typified her last three albums. The tour did not materialise.[citation needed] Bush performed `Lily` and `Top of the City` live for the first time in 2014 as part of the Before the Dawn concert residency.[10]
