Appearing on her second album,Post, ‘Army of Me’ is a demanding, swaggering industrial rock track infused with techno, trip-hop and electronic instruments. The infectious drum beat is sampled from Led Zeppelin’s ‘Where the Levee Breaks’, yet Björk takes the classic rock song and turns it into something modern by layering synths and her distinctive ...
Taken fromDebut, ‘Big Time Sensuality’ bounces with a contagious rhythm driven by keyboards and synths. The singer declares her love for life and her friends, explaining in the chorus, “It takes courage to enjoy it”. Björk was inspired by meeting like-minded musicians, such as Nellee Hooper, who co-wrote and produced the track. Björk shared: “I thi...
‘Pagan Poetry’ is one of Vespertine’smany masterpieces, which sees Björk grapple with fulfilling her sexual and emotional needs. A combination of gorgeous harps and intense beats accompany Björk’s voice as she contemplates the complexity of her desires. As the song reaches a dramatic climax, the instrumentals are stripped back as Björk’s voice beco...
The penultimate track on Björk’s third album Homogenic, ‘Pluto’, is one of the artist’s most confronting songs to date and one that she frequently ends live sets with. A harsh beat dominates the song before glitching behind Björk’s impressive droning vocals. Inspired by astrology and Norse mythology, ‘Pluto’ explores an explosion of rebirth and ren...
A non-album cut, ‘Play Dead’ was released as part of The Young Americans soundtrack in 1993, just a few months after the release of Debut. The melody and lyrics were written by Björk, the bassline by Jah Wobble, and David Arnold composed the rest of the track. Lyrically, the song is inspired by the film’s protagonist, which Björk found “very diffic...
‘All Is Full Of Love’ follows ‘Pluto’, and the contrast between the two couldn’t be more striking. The high-tempo and aggressive nature is stripped away as Björk creates a celestial and otherworldly soundscape. She wrote and recorded the lush track in half a day after the appearance of springtime inspired her following a harsh winter. Whereas ‘Plut...
Although ‘Hyper-ballad’ is far from Björk’s most experimental work, it is fiercely demonstrative of her powers to create such a genius song using such a straightforward structure. The pop track is laced with house rhythms, yet emotion is stirred through a delicate string section. Björk sings about throwing little objects from a cliff and watching t...
After Björk’s painful divorce from Matthew Barney, she penned Vulnicura, arguably the singer’s most honest and emotional output thus far. The heartwrenching album contains the ten-minute-long ‘Black Lake’, one of the most moving songs in Björk’s back catalogue. The musician is faithful to her use of nature imagery, emphasising her personal hurt. Ly...
Björk’s tenth studio album, Fossora, demonstrated that the singer is far from slowing down. On the title track, clarinets dominate alongside a piercing beat before descending into chaos. An unforgettable hard dance-floor beat carries out the song with defiance and confidence as Björk’s lyrics allude to being at home. The musician described Fossora ...
Björk described ‘Possibly Maybe’ as “the first unhappy song I wrote… I felt ashamed writing a song that was not giving hope.” However, the track demonstrates that when Björk uses music as a medium for pain and sadness, she produces some of her most astounding works. The trip-hop-infused song reflects on failed love, and Björk creates a dynamic and ...
