Revisionist history at work again....  Kate Bush was definitely
marketed as a sex kitten in her early career, and she's surely not
gone out of her way to dispel any images of herself as a sensual

Actually, calling something "arty" is usually considered an insult.
Therefore if Kate's work is "artier" than Tori's, it would be a point
