@@carolm9092there's a thousand like you and only one of her. And I see her doing more good work in her life than you could ever dream of in a thousand lifetimes. Know your place.
I think Kali has been in the industry for a while as a producer or writer or something like that. She probably has good knowledge on artists even before she started making her own music
@@Woofwoof369 lmao that was actually the part that caught my whole ear before I fell inlove with the song when watching The Professional. Also thought it was Icelandic for a bit till I saw the lyrics.
as a massive björk fan, this has blown me away. love this version, the interpretation and through this cover I have discovered the wonder that is Kali Uchis
@Sebastián Baeza For me a cover doesn't have to be a completely original interpretation. I think of it as famous karaoke, you can either really switch up the vibe or just give your own go at the original. Either way Kalis nails it!!!!!
If you search up “Venus as a boy covers” almost nothing pops up because Bjork has such a unique voice & her songs are difficult to sing. However Kali did an amazing job bringing her own flair while still retaining the unique singing style. Her voice is otherworldly
I always thought it was switches. Like how he walks. His hips switch from side to side. If you walk like that you can probably fuck. Just saying 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Why did I not know Kali's vocals were this good? Omg, this gives me chills, she captures the same ambiance as Björk. Which is amazing in and of it self, as I consider Bjôrk to have a very unique style sonically. This is simply perfection.
@@themassivebrainman4798 well ambiance is subjective cuz not everyone interprets character and atmosphere in the same way, so kali has captured the ambiance for some people like the original commenter
I still feel like she is I went to her show with Tyler the creator and Vince staples and one more person and there was a lot of empty seats. But she’s more beautiful in person
I keep coming back to this cover she is the only artist to do a björk cover justice.. her aura is just so chilled and it transports me to a beach in the evening somewhere..
Whoa! She legit pulled off a björk song? I'm seriously astonished. People who listened to Björk KNOWS how unique her voice is for anyone to even attempt to pull off a song of hers. Go girl!🙏🙏🙏🙏
I think it’s beautiful. The fact that there’s people that don’t like this, her energy and stunning vocals, just makes you realize you can never make everyone happy 🤷♂️
ya you put it so well. was glad to see she's doing such similar phrasing, but that can go badly in the wrong hands. this version is amazing! what a song.
Lately when I feel insecure about myself, I come back to this video to ground myself. The perfect blend of female sexuality and spirituality. Pure harmony. It shows me the power of female energy. Healing energy. How fitting that this song is also about female energy. It is not something that is exclusive to woman. Venus as a boy. Notice that the musicians behind her are all men and are clearly also channelling the energy. It is my own interpretation anyways. Who knows, I might be wrong. Doesn’t matter. Enjoy. Soak it in. Don’t be scared. Relax. Heal.
I need this version released as well on Spotify. I adore the original by Björk, one of my favorite artists and this cover by Kali Uchis who i love as well
Here's my theory for why this cover works so well: Kali Uchis' voice is unique in its own right, and Björk's own distinct voice was designed to be sung over this instrumental and singing these specific words and sounds. Kali's own presentation and delivery is faithful to Björk's version in that she does not compromise her own voice or style to match something that nobody can even try replicating, so she does her own thing with this, and it makes for a much more compelling listen than if a Broadway belter or someone with an indistinct voice (yet still technically gifted and/or trained, mind you) took on this song, or any of Björk's songs. Something tells me that if Christina Aguilera tried singing her heart out to Bachelorette, it would sound like shit. Alicia Keys singing Pagan Poetry? Don't even get me started.
I think it also has to do with the fact that both Kali and Bjork came onto the scene with their own unique sounds, Bjork introduced this new alternative sound that had never really ever been done before, therefore making her sound impossible to replicate no matter how hard someone tried nearly every bjork cover had a weird sound that just didn't fit the atmosphere Bjork had made for herself in terms of vocals, sound, etc. when Kali came out with drunken babble what enticed people was her voice and its hypnotic nature that people could only compare to artists of the 60's to mid/late 90's and the very soulful sounds throughout those times, with all of this it doesn't surprise me how well Kali performed this cover because she doesn't try too hard to make this cover her own, she follows Bjorks sound and mixes it with her own talent to create something beautiful that is still very faithful to Bjorks sound.
I remember listening to Bjork everyday after high school , this brought me back. Kali killed it this is so beautiful I can't even imagine many people successfully covering Bjork.
i’m one of the dislikers, i don’t like the direct pull of the instrumental percussion and several sounds from the original and the rest work both vocally and instrumentally just gives me strong “i went to a random restaurant in south america” jazz cover version . it’s not better than the original and it’s not special enough to exist . it’s better to remake / cover more obscure work than this
I clicked while thinking that this would be a disaster. I was so so so wrong. She did it amazingly. Great cover. I didn't think that was possible. Congratulations!!!!
I just wanted to say that I have loved Kali for years, and this cover really gave me goosebumps. So much so, that I just had to listen to the original album, shortly followed by Bjork's entire discography. Now my life has changed, so thank you for that.
I love the two of these artists separately but the way kali channels her own energy through this song is just everything to me. My favorite Björk song and one of my favorite vocalists recently together is just so hypnotizing
Mind you I simply adore Bjorks voice hands down...but damn....I love the way she sounds. So sensual. Keep it up my dear. You're voice is equally unique and beautiful as Bjorks

OMG! That sounds so cute and heavenly. This song fits perfectly with Kalis voice ♥
I really didn’t expect to be enchanted by her version, I thought I would watch her crash and burn but wow, I’m impressed, she nailed a Björk song with her own personal twist on top of that. Very talented. Respect Kali 👌🏼

agreed! Amazingly done Kali
Vero hai ragione ❤️🎶
Absolutely. I think artists are also afraid to replicate Bjork's gibberish, but Kali nails it and adds her own twist
one of the few people that could do this song justice
do*
True!
Corinne Bailey Rae's version is a whole lot smoother, silky, and sexy. I LOVE me some Kali though 😍😋
Who even have the imagination to sing it!
nah
I saw Kali live and she covered Radiohead. I swear she can twist any genre into her own style and make it sound amazing.
night shart she starts singing creep? I burst into tears
theoatmilk creep
DIDNT SHE JUST SOUND SO MAJESTIC DOING RADIOHEAD
She covered Creep when I saw her. Such a talent.
So good!! She also covered stronger than me by amy winehouse and then also bills, bills, bills and say my name with jorja on their last tour
I appreciate that she pronounced “wicked” how bjork does lol
and BEAUTY*** 👌🏼
It sound like “switches” to me no matter how many times I hear it
It sounds like "witch's sense of humor" to me and it never sounded that way in the original to me.
