Director's Cut is the ninth studio album by English singer-songwriter Kate Bush, released on 16 May 2011.[1] It consists of new versions of songs from her earlier albums The Sensual World (1989) and The Red Shoes (1993). All tracks have new lead vocals, drums, and instrumentation and are remixed and restructured. Some song were transposed to a lower key to accommodate Bush's lowering voice. Three of the songs, including "This Woman's Work", have been completely rerecorded, often with lyrics changed in places. Bush described the album as a new project rather than a collection of remixes.
It was Bush's first album release since 2005's Aerial and the first on her own record label, Fish People.
Bush wrote all of the songs and lyrics with the exception of lines borrowed from James Joyce.[1] The album has received mostly positive critical reviews.[2]
