Description
Björk is a rare artist a true original, a non-conformist with wide appeal, an extraordinary genre-busting musical individual who speaks to the heart, the head and the feet. She is the quintessential modern musician, ceaselessly innovating and completely multidimensional in the way she uses performance, technology, fashion, video and art to complement her music.
Björks current album, her eighth studio record Vulnicura, serves as an exploration into the themes of love and heartbreak, a stark contrast to the abstract context of her last record, Biophilia.
Vulnicura was written, produced and recorded in collaboration with Venezuelan producer Arca and British musician The Haxan Cloak.
New Yorks MoMA will be hosting a mid-career retrospective exhibition starting in March which will chronicle Björks career from Debut to Vulnicura.
From the release of her first album Debut in 1993 Björk has now sold over 20 million albums worldwide. She has acquired significant critical acclaim, also winning 4 Brit Awards, 4 MTV VMAs and, in 2010, the Polar Music Prize from the Royal Swedish Academy Of Music, in recognition for her deeply personal music and lyrics, her precise arrangements and her unique voice.
Björks created a wounded, raw and, most importantly, human album. The Guardian (****)
