Bjork |
Bjork is hard to pin down and trace. Pointing to her pre-solo incarnations as a jazz singer, a Crass Records punk and an international pop star with the Sugarcubes only shows a fraction of her depth. Since her Debut in 1993, she has created a symbiosis between academic music and pop with her hands holding a score by Karlheinz Stockhausen while her feet dance to the faceless sounds of rave culture. Masterfully, her music never flies out into obscurity or stoops to obviousness. Working with producers and remixers such as Nellee Hooper, Howie B., Alec Empire and Plaid, she consistently changes strategies, keeping her sound contemporary, gently nudging at the edges of the mainstream. While she takes these adventurous turns through her career, her versatile voice is unmistakable. She displays wide emotional range from the contained rage of "Army of Me" to the explosive joy of "It's Oh So Quiet" to the ethereal bliss of "All Is Full of Love." All her music is a unique well of superlative perfection.Find Bjork cds and Bjork records on Polydor Records. |
