    She’s the best. I could never understand how someone could develop that style, then I learned that in Iceland she used to walk to school in blizzards singing as hard as she could into the storm. He talks about how she sounds like a wild animal trying to come out and it’s close to that - a girl trying to hear herself over torrential freezing winds. Then of course a punk in her teens. I’ve always loved it, but I get it now and love it even more.

      Yep, all true! Also dont forget Danish oppression. When Icelandic people were not allowed to sing so they developed a style of reading their books in a chanting, near singing manner. You can hear that too in her singing at times.

    Interesting you say “pre recorded strings” I worked on this show and it was 100% live strings. What you fail to understand is that Mark Bell is adding additional strings and playing loops live. And of course there’s “no mics” the instruments have custom made pick ups which we used on the tour. The string players have an LED metronome that links directly to MainStage that comes from Mark Bell.
    You should find this song played in one of her actual concerts. It’s a lot more energetic than the live TV performance.

    Sadly this singing technique destroyed her vocal chords and in 2013 she had vocal nodule surgery and couldn't sing for three weeks, her voice is still very powerful yet she lacks the ability to allow herself to belt or sing her higher notes (relatable, I had the same thing happen to me, it's sort of a fear!)

      Shes singing since veeeery young age, and as a musician who writes her songs, she probably had to sing it again and again before the songs were done, and again in the shows. It of course damages your chords, and Bjork has skills and technique, but she alegedly can forget about it and go to a natural animal instinctive way of singing. thats why. her voice is still incredible. shes amazing as musician too, her ideas, arrangements. its so genius

I grew up with Björk, having been a teenager when Debut came out and I always felt like there were certain "Björk-Moments" in my life though I couldn't listen to her all of the time. Now I've found myself in a "listening-to-Björk-all-of-the-time" phase and I've just realized that her unique way of singing and performing creates something like an entity that I feel at home with because I've known it for such a long time and it offers stability - as well as variation beacause of the creative abundance of her work. It's very comforting and inspiring. Your video helped me make the connection.

    Highly recommend some of bjork’s tracks that really leverage her unique way of singing. My callouts below:
    1. So Broken - especially her live performance, there is SO MUCH to digest in what she does with her voice that only she can do.
    2. Five Years - She really growls and puts a lot of anger into her voice as the track progresses and builds up.
    3. Cocoon - Whispers and sighs and coos. Haven’t heard many songs like this in my life and it makes my skin tingle.
    4. I Miss You - a lot of various techniques and she stretches and contorts her voice in such interesting ways through this track. Voice breaks, growls, cracks, her unique belts that only she can do.
    5. The Pleasure Is All Mine - really stretches her syllables in her typical bjorkian fashion and puts her vocals front and center. The whole Medulla album is focused on the human voice with 99% of instrumentation comprised of human voices in various forms (inuit throat singing, beat boxing, choirs, etc.) and is a fascinating listen for anyone interested in the human voice and its many unique uses.

    It isn't "like a wild animal trapped".
    She is a perfectionist and an innovator. A Renaissance Woman. She definitely knows what she is doing, you can not execute the sort of vocal acrobatics, such marvel of a voice, that is demonstrated here -- with out any knowing or control of your entire system inside and out. There is a lot of intention behind every sound she makes believe you me.
    If you follow Björk in her journey, there was an interview where she describes how she learned to sing this way, within the deep and forlorn, powerful expanse of her Iceland home, belting out to volcanic activity, and tectonic crunching noises.
    Having that as her backyard, vocal playground resulted in this distinct singing style that is all her own.
    Great of you to share this piece, it's the song of my Life.
    It's B erk like lurk not B ork like York. If intonation and inflection and lip positioning matters.

      Vi An MUSIC I believe Ken reffered to "a wild animal trapped" to illustrate her voice using the example of a genuine sauvage, something which has no boundaries or agenda whatsoever; no protocol and no desire to please others, this uncontrollable power that needs to escape!

    How could you say anything negative at all about her? Not efficient? Are you kidding me? She's not for basic ordinary average people like your small mind can't comprehend big ideas or anything expansive and actually creative genius... She's the bravest and one of the most creative musician genius artists out there and the world knows who she is meanwhile... I've never heard of seen you before... Point made. How could you say she isn't perfect? She's absolutely Perfection.

    My brother got me into Bjork when I was around 12. It was a connection for us because we didn't have a whole lot in common other than music. This is one of my favorite songs from her. I also LOVE "Come to Me". I think people either love her or hate her lol I know people that find her singing super annoying but I think she is absolutely amazing. Especially those super early recordings when she was, like, 9! Love her.
