Just THINK of what got her successful in America. It was Running Up
That Hill. And if you watch the 'video' that aired on MTV-USA *), then
you'll see the most ordinary video Kate ever did. So this might be an
indication for simplicity, but I rather believe not. Today's commerciality
is for one part what you'd call boring, for the other part what you
might call dancy, beating, techno stuff. And if Kate does do some of
that, then I'd really want to hear that. Because then there would be
more behind it that the massive but short-time listening to most
commercial stuff of today. I dream of something let's say like Waking
The Witch, such stuff may be made commercial nowadays. Not the original
one, maybe that's too much for the unprepared, but into that direction.

Bye,

Uli

*) for non-knowers: that was not the normal video with the dance scenes
but rather one of Europes quite boring TV appearances, in this case the
Wogan Show one.
