Kate Bush的演唱完全无法区分风格，三个八度自由跳跃的嗓音，可以从《呼啸山庄》这样的文学作品中汲取音乐的精魂，使得她的歌曲充满了自己的特点，无人可以模仿她，她当然也没有兴趣将别人的歌曲原版翻唱。她无疑是女性另类音乐的划时代的开拓者，狂野的天籁之音永远是她的标志，诡异、梦幻、凄美永远是她的关键词。受到她的音乐和演唱风格影响的人更是无数，包括Tori Amos、Bjork。
Kate Bush出身古典音乐世家，从11岁就开始作曲，她带着自己的作品找到Pink Floyd的当家吉他手David Gilmour。从此两人开始长久的合作关系。David 协助制作的两首曲子The Man With the Child in His Eyes、The Saxphone Song，为Kate Bush赢得了第一张唱片合约。接着她顺利地走上了另类歌手的道路。
《The Kick Inside》和《Lionheart》后，大量的宣传和媒体曝光让Kate烦恼不已，她觉得这对于她潜心创作音乐来说太喧宾夺主了。于是，她将自己抽离媒体的视线，隐居般地开始《never for ever》的创作。她在音乐上完美主义、努力不懈的创作方式使她长久地待在录音室里不知倦怠。就在她创作这张专辑的时候，谣言四起，基本上是说什么她发胖了、变疯了之类的话。然后我们的Kate就会像小仙女一样现身片刻，身材瘦削如昔，看上去头脑清醒的很，再然后她就又飘回录音室了。
在之前的两张专辑中，她更注重的是突出人声，华丽的弦乐支撑着现场的乐队伴奏，这形式基本是固定的。而在这张专辑中，从最直截了当的摇滚歌曲——The Wedding List到那首忧愁伤感，徒然神往的华尔兹小品——Army Dreamers，音乐的模式变化纷呈。Kate在之前的专辑中都是用钢琴谱曲，而从这张专辑开始，她第一次使用音响合成器和鼓器。曲风不再千篇一律地辗转悠扬，我们似乎已经听到了《Hounds Of Love》时代来临的前奏曲。
Kate又延续了其歌词的戏剧化风格，The Wedding List是受弗朗索瓦·特吕 弗的《黑衣新娘》的启发，The Infant Kiss的灵感来自于德博拉·克尔主演的《无辜的人》。
Kate Bush的声音可以说是无所不能，相信只要她愿意，她可以唱遍任何流派。前两张专辑她的声音时而温文婉约，时而妖娆诡异，但还是不可避免地流露出小女孩的青涩。而在这张专辑里，她声音的运用出现了叛逆的端倪，该悠长的地方依旧一如既往地令人摄魂，妖娆诡异的色彩趋强，但一些歌曲的高音变得犀利起来。如果说她以前的作品有种歌剧般的唱腔，现在的嗓音仿佛才开始正式走向艺术摇滚。令人佩服的是，这有了变化的唱腔却丝毫不见干涩，有的都是浑然天成的华美顺滑。这样的唱法正为之后的《The Dreaming》、《Hounds Of Love》、《The Sensual World》中天马行空、气势汹汹、铿锵有力又不失柔美的唱腔奠定了基础。Babooshka中Kate收放自如、充满灵气的歌声，简直能让人看到黑暗中她那带着琥珀色光芒的双眼。
这张由Kate Bush第一次参与制作的录音大碟成绩斐然，是Kate第一张登上英国专辑冠军榜的专辑。她是英国第一位获得如此殊荣的女性。
无疑是80年代英国最杰出的女歌手，她独一无二无人能模仿的嗓音以及前卫的 音乐创作才华，使她在女性艺术摇滚乐坛上独树一帜。如果你只能拥有一张Kate Bush的专辑，《Hounds Of Love》就是你的首选。专辑充分展示了Kate Bush的音乐才华与天赋。
经过3年的潜心修炼，《Hound s Of Love》诞生了。Kate Bush仍然完全独自把脉着自己的作品。词曲创作和制作全部自己包办。
1985年8月5日，Kate Bush在英国广播公司 TV’s Wogan show上表演了Running Up That Hill。赞扬从四面八方飞来。“令人震惊的……印象深刻的，感动”……18个月内，NME承认该曲是英国乐史上非黑人艺人最佳单曲。
专辑在1985年9月16日发行，立马把Madonna从冠军宝座拉下马。
戏剧性的，美丽的，浪漫的(Sounds)
