  • We Icelanders are very proud of our Björk. I love the way she exaggerates her icelandic accent when she sings in english 😊
  • @Cadinho93
    The first time I ever heard Björk's voice, she was the vocalist for "The Sugarcubes" and the song was "Birthday". I said out loud, "WTF is this? and how can I get more of it?" Also, Björk is her own genre. She's one of those few musicians/vocalists who is just driven by a weird and wild creative energy. She's Icelandic, so her accent is very unique and her pronunciation really adds to her unique style.
  • @pekkapulli
    Björk wasn’t going mainstream, the mainstream went towards her. An absolute legend.
  • The interesting part of Bjork's genius is that on the verses, the percussion and bass is on the key of A (blues scale)... and yet she sings over it in D minor scale! And the "chorus" part, the bass played in Bb (blues scale) then she sings over it in G minor scale! Talk about polytonic singing! That's why it felt like two tonal centers, because it is! It's incredible.
  • @xtop23
    Bjork is amazing. “Army of me” is another of hers that is awesome.
  • @sydhamelin1265
    Her vocalization in Joga is really something else. The whole "emotional landscapes, they puzzle me, the riddle gets solved..." how musical she makes that.
  • Growing up listening to Björk and similar “alternative” music groups so much it’s like a second skin - it’s fascinating to watch someone listen to her as a newbie.
  • @Kevin_Fiol
    Fun story... I lived in Iceland from 86-88 (My dad was stationed in Keflavik). There weren't many places for bands to perform (or to see them), so the Sugarcubes played at the USO once every 4-6 weeks. My friends and i were 14-16, and she was only a couple years older... so she'd come to our table and hang out. 😊 And because there's no drinking age for locals, she would buy pitchers of beer for us 😆
  • I think you would truly love "All Is Full Of Love". Her voice soars on that one and it's really emotional.
  • @deckofcards87
    Bjork's Hyperballad is an absolute must for a reaction/analysis.
  • @penfold1976
    Play Dead is my favourite Bjork song. Can listen to it for days.
  • @ActualToucan
    You really haven't experienced Bjorks' incredible voice until you've heard Pegan Poetry
  • @notsure9802
    Bjork is a rare gem that is completely unique.
  • There are no videos like this anymore. The videos amplify the intensity of her voice.
  • Please do Hyperballad and Bachelorette. I have been waiting so long for you to analyze Bjork. This is great.
  • @sket179
    Hyperballad is my favourite song of hers. The lyrics, the layering of instruments, and the video are so good.
  • @coradesune7537
    What's crazy to me is that she's been making music for far longer than most people realise. She released an album while a student at school in 1977!
  • There was a documentary many years ago about her. I don’t recall the name of it, but she was walking around with this machine capturing odd sounds to incorporate in her music (like wasps chewing wood and such things). She is truly one of a kind and I love her music so much.
  • @sleeptemple1564
    Bjork's style is stunning and a singularity. It's so fun to see her voice from your perspective.
