Bjork is a recognisable face - known to millions for “It’s oh so quiet” - but mocked by many. Is it time for people to open their ears, and take in her Icelandic charm?
Bjork’s back catalogue holds a widely cinematic essence. Especially notable works include alternative love-song ‘Hyper-ballad’ in which she sings of throwing herself over a cliff - alongside her cutlery.
So much of her skill remains to be discovered by music lovers. So I ask of you; if her adventurous wardrobe has ever put you off your recommended Bjork dosage, now is the time to overdose.
Recommended Listening;
Bjork - Hyper-ballad from the album “Post”, 1995.

Also to note is the song “Bachelorette”; a theatrical yet overly inviting song with sweeping orchestral movements and poetic lyricism. With “It’s so quiet” almost acting as a leitmotiv for Bjork, many music fans aren’t aware of the dark, captivating compositions that she has written, composed, produced and performed on. In fact, Interview magazine describes her music as “so extremely—defiantly—original, that attempting to explain it or analyse it would seem almost misguided”.
