I think she’s a Kate bush fan in reality. I swear she mentioned it in an ADIAML livestream or around that time

The Family Jewels is too Kate Bush-ish to ignore.

I'm shook, I really really though she was very influenced by Kate or at least she listened to Kate.

 

I really thought I read somewhere that she was a Kate fan. And God knows I have been a diamond since 2010, what the effin hell. 

 

I'm shook and not gonna lie, a little disappointed haha

She’s been a Kate fan since at least 2006. This interview is from 2009 and Marina says she loves Kate’s music. Here‘s an excerpt:

 

The songs you’ve shared thus far are quite dramatic and definitely have an air of Kate Bush which rings through more than other people in the last few years who have been compared to her. Do you mind? Are you a fan? What are your favourite Bush songs?
I don’t mind. I don’t give it much thought. Not to say I don’t appreciate it, I am very flattered. When people started comparing me to her about three years ago, I was like ‘Who’s Kate Bush?’. Can you imagine?! Anyway, I got mum to send me six songs of hers in the post. ‘Babooshka’, ‘Running Up That Hill’, ‘Wuthering Heights’.. I definitely fell in love instantly. An instant click, it felt like she was my sonic sister and in a very genuine way. Not because I had every tried to sound like her. I really can’t imagine doing anything worse.

 

So she didn‘t grow up with Kate‘s music but definitely had known her for years when TFJ came out.

Whoa thanks, I'm very happy to read this. 

 

Sonic sister is very accurate.

To be honest, I would not be surprised if she minimised her interest in Kate Bush back then just to prove her uniqueness with The Family Jewels, we know how salty Marina used to be at the time. Like, c'mon, you release tracks like Obsessions, Rootless and Mowgli's Road and then you say your biggest inspiration is Britney Spears and Madonna? 

 

Also Guilty screams Fiona Apple's Criminal.

I love your botox bitch I curtsey for youuuuu 

[californianfreak 3,484]

I interpreted it as she didn't listen to Kate Bush growing up rather than never having listened to her or heard of her before?

I can see why it was left out of the album, but it had so much potential 

I guess some lyric ideas from it turned into other songs.

Doubt Your Life is pretty nice too, kinda had potential 

[EXODUS 9,914]

EH Leaks??? Was that the 10th anniversary edition we were lacking?

If Double Life was reworked a little it would've been a perfect addition to EH it's so good
