Björk

A star in her native Iceland since childhood, Björk fully came into her own in the '90s, emerging as an otherworldly diva combining swirling jazz melodies with a bold dance-pop sound. From the skewed bolero of "Human Behaviour" to the grandstanding emotion explosion of "It's Oh So Quiet," she continues to shatter conventions.

After her tenure as lead singer of the Sugarcubes, Björk fashioned her own sound with the aid of dance-mix auteurs Nellee Hooper and Tricky. Always unpredictable, she's veered between smoldering balladry and spine-tingling arias, illuminating far corners of the heart and psyche. Allow Björk to take you deeper into her sonic realm.

Björk's career has taken her through punk phases, jazz tangents, and Icelandic folk excursions. Over the course of the past decade, she's released a staggering variety of remixes and revisions, allowing us to sample her exotic genius in all its wild variety. Her energy on the live stage, captured in many cuts here, is palpable.

Björk's voice is a true force of nature, filled with chilling shivers and volcanic eruptions. A sonic shape-shifter, she can coo with childlike delicacy or wail like a spirit-possessed priestess. Since embarking on her solo career in the '90s, she's released a dazzling series of musical visions, from the beguiling trip-hop of Debut to the challenging vocal tapestries of Medulla. Mesmerizing, seductive, and at times unnerving, Björk creates a universe all her own.
