Comparing Aldous Harding to Kate Bush

Obviously they're quite different artists, but right from when I first heard Aldous Harding, she reminded me of Kate Bush Not so much stylistically, more in how artistic they both are.

So it was interesting to find a recording of Aldous Harding singing Wuthering Heights, which goes back to 2016.

Here is Aldous Harding singing Wuthering Heights live.

Here is Kate Bush singing the same song, also live. I tried to find a recording of a similar recording quality.

They both discard what most others would consider opportunities, in favour of artistic integrity. It's really brave.

Bonus recordings

As a bonus, here's a recording of Kate Bush live on stage performing the song.
