Kate Bush has announced that she will release her new album, which will be her first in six years and a re-recording of old classics, on May 16. 

The record will be titled 'Director's Cut', and the iconic singer posted an official press release on her Facebook account this afternoon, March 11, that said:

"On “Directors Cut” Kate revisits a selection of tracks from her albums “The Sensual World” and “The Red Shoes”, a process that presents a fascinating portrait of an artist in a constant state of evolution. She has re-recorded some elements whilst keeping the best musical performances of each song – making it something of a director’s cut but in sound, not vision."

In addition to this exciting news, Bush will also release a new version of 'Deeper Understanding' as a single in April. The press release also explained that "Kate is currently working on new material although no release date has been set for this."
