Ahead of Friday’s release of her first live album in 22 years, “Before the Dawn,” the singer-songwriter has unveiled a new music video. In the video for the accompanying single, “And Dream of Sheep,” she is in the ocean wearing a life jacket and sings until she submerges into the water.
Also getting fans excited is her first interview in six years, an hour-long chat on BBC Radio 6 Music in which the “Wuthering Heights” and “Hounds of Love” singer looked back on her career and looked forward to future projects, saying, “I don’t know what I’m going to do next.
