Kate Bush’s new album – and first for Anti- Records – “50 Words for Snow” comes out Nov. 21. Seven songs, 65 minutes, all “set against the background of falling snow.” And if the influential songstress’s first single “Wild Man” is any indication, there will plenty of soundscapes to navigate as well as wintry scenes. It’s the second release of 2011 for Bush, whose “Director’s Cut,” which came out in May, saw her revisiting, re-arranging and re-recording songs from earlier in her career. On the new work, there are cameos by Elton John, Andy Fairweather Low and, on the title track, the British writer/broadcaster  Stephen Fry.
