Kate Bush has always been an enigmatic and eclectic artist. Most famous for her career as a singer and songwriter, and hit songs like Wuthering Heights, she's also explored visual art. And she's just released a beautiful short animated film (see our pick of the best 2D animation software for your own work).

Kate wrote and directed Little Shrew (Snowflake), which also features a new radio edit of her track Snowflake, which originally appeared on the 2011 album 50 Words For Snow. Just over 4 minutes long, the film depicts a little shrew searching for hope as she makes her way across a bombed-out city.
