How to sound like Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God) (Gearnews)

Kate Bush is back in the charts again with her 1985 single, Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God). We take a deep dive into the song's production.

In addition, the way the vocal harmonies and overdubs are sequenced clearly defines each section of the song. In this case, the way the vocal performance builds the song up slowly into a climax is a central theme. To create a drone pad, simply loop the synth chord and ensure the length of the MIDI notes reach the end of the bar. The modulations in pitch that you can hear were created with a healthy dose of portamento. This is achieved through the careful use of stereo delay or tape echo, as well as reverb over the drums in their entirety. We’ve discussed the use of 1980s reverb previously, and here it is the key that gives this song its ethereal character.
