When asked if she was currently working on new material, she replied “not at the moment.”

Added Bush: “But I’ve been caught up doing a lot of archive work over the last few years, redesigning our website, putting a lyric book together.”

Later in the conversation, the “Babooshka” singer did admit a new album was on her mind.

“And I’m very keen to start working on a new album when I’ve got this finished,” Bush said. “I’ve got lots of ideas and I’m really looking forward to getting back into that creative space, it’s been a long time.”

She revealed that “particularly [in] the last year” she’s felt the urge to “start doing something new” in the music space.

While Bush may be ready to start making music, she isn’t necessarily focused on getting back onstage.

When discussing David Gilmour’s attempt to persuade the singer-songwriter to perform again in arecent interview with David Gilmour forThe Guardian,Bush teased, “I’m not there yet.”

Bush released her last new record,50 Words for Snow, in 2011. Since then, she has only released live and compilation LPs.
