"Eat the Music" is a song written and recorded by Kate Bush. Columbia Records published it as the lead release from Bush's album The Red Shoes in the U.S., while EMI chose "Rubberband Girl" everywhere else in the world. In the UK, a small handful of extremely rare 7" and promotional CD-singles were produced, but were recalled by EMI Records at the last minute. A commercial release followed in 1994 in the Netherlands and Australia, along with a handful of other countries.
"Eat the Music" is about opening up in relationships to reveal who we really are inside. The single reached #10 in the U.S. Modern Rock Tracks chart.[1]
Tricky included the song on his edition of the mix album series Back to Mine.
