In a world exclusive interview, she joined Emma Barnett on BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour.
She spoke about her song, Running Up That Hill, reaching number one 37 years after it was first released. She has gained a whole new audience after the song was featured in series four of Netflix’s Stranger Things.
“‘I think they've put [Running Up That Hill] in a really special place in Stranger Things. We actually watched it from the first series onwards, so I was already familiar with the series. I thought what a lovely way for the song to be used in such a positive way. I think it's very touching, actually.”“Who wasn't?” says Kate. “When the first series came out, our friends kept saying: ‘Have you seen Stranger Things?’ So, eventually we just thought: ‘Okay let’s watch it’.
“Some of [the songs] have had very strange titles that are working titles that you quickly forget. But I think for me, this is still called A Deal With God.”When asked if she enjoys a bit of kitchen disco, or whether she’s still into the moves, Kate laughed.“I thought that the track would get some attention,” says Kate. “But I never imagined that it would be anything like this. It's so exciting, but it’s quite shocking really, isn't it? I mean, the whole world's gone mad.
