Never for Ever (1980) is the third album by Kate Bush. The singer co-produced the album with Jon Kelly; perhaps as a result, it features a more eclectic production than Bush's previous records, The Kick Inside and Lionheart, which had sounded very similar in their mixture of influences from art rock and classical music.
Never For Ever was the first record by a female British artist to top the UK album chart.
