On Directors Cut, Kate revisits a selection of tracks from her albums The Sensual World and The Red Shoes, a process that presents a fascinating portrait of an artist in a constant state of evolution. She has re-recorded some elements whilst keeping the best musical performances of each song – making it something of a director‘s cut but in sound, not vision. All the lead vocals and drums on Director‘s Cut are new performances, some of the tracks featuring guests includ-ing Steve Gadd, Danny Thompson and, on backing vocals, Mica Paris. Three songs have been completely re-recorded, one of which is This Woman‘s Work.
