She co-produced her next album "The Dreaming" on which she explored the fairytale weirdness even more. This album gave her the confidence to take full control of her music. Moving further away from the standard pop format, Bush challenged her audience with more experimentation with a most refreshing result. On "Never for ever" her sound is enriched with traditional folk influences provided by more session musicians. Even though "Lionheart" contained another hit single, the compositions were less sparkling. Within months following the release of her debut album, she was already recording a successor album. The hits "Wuthering heights" and "The man with the child in his eyes" introduced her to a large pop audience. Unlike the aforementioned bands, Bush's music is very feminine and reveals more light & playful pop & rock tunes. No wonder the full TAPP-line-up was in charge as the backing band on this record. Similarities can be found in the sound of Gerry Rafferty at the time or the first albums from The ALAN PARSONS PROJECT.

"The Kick inside" must have been one of the most passionate albums ever written. In 1978 her debut album was issued but two songs were written years before that. Being impressed by her true original talent, the PINK FLOYD guitar player financed her fist proper recording session before introducing the result to EMI.
