If there is actually such a thing as a "typical" Bjork sound, I'd say this one is a lot closer to that than the one you previously reacted to. The very first time I heard her music, I brushed it off as just "weird" - but the more I listened to more of her stuff, I did a total 180, and now consider her a musical genius. However, I've gotta be in the proper mood to listen to Bjork, haha.
Bjork is just a genre of her own. She's from Iceland, and has an unusual singing accent. Off subject, put Iceland on your bucket list. Fascinating place unlike anyplace else.
@@redsmoker37 yes but it's cold and dark most of the time in the winter. Of course the summers can be cold and damp over there but I like the 24 hour daylight.
“Army Of Me” is one of the most savage and unique songs ever. I wish she had stayed on the heavy rhythmic path of that song and this one. “Pagan Poetry” and the ultra-eerie “Bath” are other favorites of mine, and “Sick For Toys” is the pinnacle from her Sugarcubes days.
Absolutely! You can count on two hands the number of vocal artists in the post-classical space like this. Bjork, Moya & Enya Brennan, Aurora, Peter Gabriel, Brian Wilson, Mike Patton, Bobby McFerrin....musical geniuses with one of a kind, supernatural voices that they use as a DIVERSE instrument, and innovate new ways of using said voice as an instrument
The production is by Nellee Hooper who was part of the Wild Bunch crew who turned into Massive Attack (Unfinished Sympathy). He was also the producer on Soul II Soul of Keep on Movin' fame. Bristol was producing a lot of interesting music then and Bjork was part of that scene. It became known as Trip Hop and included Portishead (Glory Box) and Roni Size (Brown Paper Bag). Other great tracks - on that album: Come To Me is a beautiful ballad and Play Dead too. On the next album is Isobel which is also great - so many notable tracks, her golden era starting with this album (Debut) lasted at least four albums, others would argue longer.
She is brilliant. In her own lane. She one artist that I feel should be enjoyed in chronological order. Because she has just been building and building on her own sound. It’s a journey.
I see Bjork with the same eyes I see Kate Bush. An innovator and always changing. I first saw her in London in 1988, when she was still vocalist for The Sugarcubes. I remember thinking that she'd go on to bigger things.
Seen her live she was amazing, if I was going to listen to more I would go for Play Dead, Venus as a Boy or Big Time Sensuality. Totally individual and I classifiable
@Rose Madder some much less accessible I think I saw the Volta tour which I love but not the easiest way into the Bjork catalogue. Though lots of people start with it’s oh so quiet which I don’t think is typical. My other thought being the duet with Thom York from the Dancer in the Dark soundtrack album
Bjork is such an interesting Icelandic artist. She has such a unique and eclectic sound and her voice is such a delight. Some other good songs by Bjork are - all is full of love, venus as a boy, joga, hidden place, hyperballad, army of me
Yes. More Bjork! "Pagan Poetry" or "Hyperballad" would be great ones to check out next. But damn, she has a LOT of incredible songs. You could easily do twenty Bjork songs and each one would be fresh and surprising.
This was our introduction to BJORK'S 90s Solo Career(her 1st Single). This song is Describing Human Beings but from the Point of View of every animal on earth. She 8s her own Bjork Lane & Category. It's Oh So Quiet (is a cover of a 50s song) But this is a better representation of Who and What BJORK'S about. I usually don't recommend Listening to an Artists in Chronological Order, however when it comes to BJORK , it's a Must. Her Musical and Creative Evolution is a thing of Marvel and Inspiration. Her Brain is Unlike any1 else U Will ever come across.
If you're talking about the incident at the airport, it was a woman! Apparently this hack had been following Björk around and getting on her wick; she was with her young son and she'd had enough, and went for the hack, wrestled her to the ground and banged her head against the ground. Do. Not. Mess.
Just like this songs says "There is no map, and a compass wouldn't help at all" She's wonderfully unique and takes you on a journey - you don't know always know where you're going but it's always somewhere amazing. My vote for her next track would be BIG TIME SENSUALITY. She's the real deal. I absolutely adore her.
check out 'Hyperballad' from her second release called 'Post', my favorite Bjork album. I first heard her when she was with the Icelandic punk group 'The Sugarcubes'. Right away, she commanded attention as an outstanding singer. Apparently, her favorite album of all time is 'The Dreaming' by Kate Bush. That definitely helps explain her unusual, eclectic approach.
Oh, she has so many you need to listen to. Play dead, Army of Me, Venus as a Boy, Violently Happy, Hyperballad, Declare Independance are just a few of my favourites. She's her own genre.
Thank you! I've been waiting for you to do this song for so long! I find "Human Behaviour" is much more representative of her style than "Oh So Quiet", but still all of her songs are unique, just as her style is. I'm looking forward to seeing you do more Bjork :)
The most fun thing to bear in mind is this was Bjork at her most mainstream. She stayed there and refined her sound for a few lovely, offbeat pop albums, and *then* she got weird and truly impressive
Definitely my favorite Bjork song! When it dropped, I heard it on my local alternative radio station. I guess they weren't sure what genre it fell under either. You should react to Army of Me. That one is a banger!
I'm only a casual fan but everytime I dig into Bjork, it's so impressive, especially considering she was doing this in 1993 (and Oh So Quiet was 95). She was very cutting edge in her day, yet coming back to her decades down the line, her music is just timelessly awesome and interesting, while being 100% _musical_ . This and Oh So Quiet are a couple of my favs from her, a few others worth scoping out: Hyperballad, Bachelorette, Army of Me, Hunter. Cover Me is cool too, the Dillinja remix is a classic example of a 90s DnB track that goes great with the original samples.
This is an iconic 90s video. I remember seeing it a lot in the morning before going to school. Being half awake and being tripped out by this and other videos like Nirvana's 'Heart-Shaped Box', Alice in Chains 'Man in the Box', etc.
Thanks for checking Björk out again! This one is one of my faves by her. Another one I really like is "Venus as a boy". By the way, her name Björk means birch tree in English☺🌳
Bjork's genre? Wikipedia describes it as 'eclectic' and I don't think anyone would argue with that! It includes a very diverse range of influences including electronic, dance, trip-hop, jazz, classical, alternative, experimental, punk, pop, gothic rock, avant garde and almost anything else you can think of.
Bjork is unclassifiable, your right Here two more from her that definitely deserve a play. Firstly BIG TIME SENSUALITY and second a track before she became a solo artist from her band SUGARCUBES song called HIT. I think you’ll enjoy these big time🤟
You probably can't go wrong with any of the songs on the Greatest Hits album, but off the top of my head, as a complement to "It's Oh So Quiet" and "Human Behavior", I'd recommend "Pagan Poetry." It's right inbetween "Quiet"'s poppiness and "Behavior"'s industrial sound, while being its own thing: a feast for the ears, emotionally evocative, and featuring her complete vocal range. (The video's got some nudity in it though, so watch out for that!)
So glad to hear you do more Bjork. I love her music. 😊❤️ “Army of Me” or “Hyperballad” might be good for you to do next and should you decide to dig even deeper, I’d definitely recommend something from her Homogenic and Vespertine albums. :)
You need to try ‘Army of Me’ (both the original and the version with Skunk Anansie), ‘The Bachelorette’, ‘Big Time Sensuality’, ‘Play Dead’, ‘The Hunter’, ‘Jóga’, ‘Violently Happy’, and especially the video for ‘All is Full of Love’.
Yeah, It's Oh So Quiet was a bit of a red herring. That said, Bjork has had a lot of different sounds and captures a lot of different moods. There are MANY fantastic Bjork songs to check out, but if I could throw one song is as the NEXT one to check out, it's probably "Hyperballad". Can't stop there though. We're just scratching the surface.
She has been a superstar in Iceland since she was a preteen. She got love in America and Europe, but in Iceland she is one of the great cultural icons. Check out her 80s band, The Sugarcubes
I’ve always just classed her music as Indy (independent). She’s an amazing artist, definitely check out her songs Play Dead & Venus as a boy! I discovered her when I was 14 (42 now) & love her to this day! Keep up the great reaction videos!
I saw Bjork when she was in the Sugarcubes. They opened for U2. Amazing!! You should check out There's More to Life Than This. She recorded it in a toilet.
I saw that tour as well, had tickets in the 3rd row and I will never forget that night! Totally fell for the Sugarcubes and of course Bjork, she was just the cutest!
You can’t box Björk in any genre. She’s a breath of fresh air in the music business…but if I were to categorize her I’d put het in her own category: Icelandic Sprite Electro-Pop 🧚♀️🧚♀️🧚♀️🧚♀️🧚♀️🧚♀️🧚♀️
If you want to check out more electronic music from that era with that same feeling as you found toward the end of this song, abbbbbbsolutely check out Orbital - The Box. It’s on the album InSides and that entire album will take you in a weird and deep electronic musical journey that will leave you feeling spacey.
I was already your fan but after you interrupted the video to put on a media that turned up the volume and so, you and we could hear this work of art better, my respect for you is in the heights!! Thank you very much!!
If you want something a little easier to ease in to the world of bjork but still full of the scope/majesty that she brings, I recommend "Play dead". The song is absolute fire 🔥🔥
Bjork is my all time favorite! You can sleep, do drugs, or have sex to her music. She's a genius! Watch her video Hunter. 30 Seconds To Mars covered it
I feel like this is a better way to experience Bjork. Everyone always suggests It's Oh So Quiet because it was her biggest mainstream hit, but she has so much more to offer. Her Medulla album is fully a cappella, and all the melodies are made from nothing but human vocals. Triumph of a Heart, and Oceania are great songs from that album. You should also check out some of her live stuff. She is pitch perfect live. I've seen her live and it was the most mind blowing concert I've ever been to.
Love Bjork! Just categorize her as a true artist. If you watch her videos they are wild as well. Just know that she knows exactly what she is doing with every sound she makes and how she makes it in the song. The Gate is a pretty wild song that I like.
That first solo album of hers is definitely my favourite. Loved that album, but never really got into much of her stuff after that. I think it's a real class of an album.
I remember being impressed and baffled by this chaotic video when it debuted on MTV in the summer of ‘93. After it, they showed an interview with her on a bed, with her giggling and wearing some sort of revealing nightgown, as I recall. I assumed she was some weird teenage phenom / Lolita, not knowing about her singing career going back to 1977. A similar thing happened when they played Juliana Hatfield‘s “My Sister” video that summer & interviewed her as well. She was so shy that she could barely look at the camera, and had a soft, childish voice not unlike Björk’s. Two of the most unique songs and singers ever right there. Two years later they each released their most aggressive videos, “Army Of Me” and “Universal Heart-Beat” respectively, both of which you must review. I’ll never forgive MTV for taking away these small moments of discovery from us when they phased out music programming. (They allegedly had a meeting in 1996 at which they decided to basically kill off rock & metal in favor of formulaic hip hop / R&B and reality shows, and in the next few years added a curiously high amount of boy bands & girl bands, and then corny nu-metal as the final nail in the coffin. A similar suicide was done to its sister network VH1.)
Bjork is just Bjork. She defies categorisation and exists in her own genre of one. There's a lot of different and brilliant stuff in her catalogue. Army of Me would be a good next step.
"Hyperballad," "All Is Full Of Love," "Bachelorette" and "Joga" are other amazing songs from her. She has so many great songs... so unique...
Also Hunter.
Yeah, pretty much those already mentioned.
"Big Time Sensuality!"
Mutual Core, Cocoon, Alarm Call, ... sooo many...
Hunter, Isobel, Venus as a Boy
Bjork is the reason why there is a genre called "Unclassifiable".
Bollocks
If there is actually such a thing as a "typical" Bjork sound, I'd say this one is a lot closer to that than the one you previously reacted to.

Bjork is just a genre of her own. She's from Iceland, and has an unusual singing accent.
Off subject, put Iceland on your bucket list. Fascinating place unlike anyplace else.
Yes.
JayveeTV reacts to Iceland.
Mid June to mid July is the best time to go.
Go get your passport ready.
@@Wonky-Donkey But you have to go in winter for northern lights!!! It's a tradeoff.
@@redsmoker37 yes but it's cold and dark most of the time in the winter.
Of course the summers can be cold and damp over there but I like the 24 hour daylight.
You should check out her old band The Sugarcubes that she was in before she went solo. Deus, Regina, Birthday or Hit - all great songs.
Björk doesn't have a genre. Björk is art.
For further listening, I'd recommend Army of Me, Hyperballad, Venus as a Boy, and Possibly Maybe.
Perfect comment! LOL I totally agree.
“Army Of Me” is one of the most savage and unique songs ever. I wish she had stayed on the heavy rhythmic path of that song and this one. “Pagan Poetry” and the ultra-eerie “Bath” are other favorites of mine, and “Sick For Toys” is the pinnacle from her Sugarcubes days.

"mad genius little goddess person" is the best description of Bjork I've ever heard!
@@liaboyd8464 Ha! Cheers, I like words.
@@jonnylumberjack6223 you've got a way with them. 🥂
"mad genius little goddess" also describes the genre she is.
This song is real fire! Big Time Sensuality is also fire!
Bjork’s voice is an instrument being brilliantly played.
The production is by Nellee Hooper who was part of the Wild Bunch crew who turned into Massive Attack (Unfinished Sympathy). He was also the producer on Soul II Soul of Keep on Movin' fame.

TIL. Thank you!
Ohhhh Isobel is beautiful!! Roni Size and Portishead bring back serious memories!! All the feels!!
Wait !! You missed Tricky who was probably the most successful from that scene
She is brilliant. In her own lane. She one artist that I feel should be enjoyed in chronological order. Because she has just been building and building on her own sound. It’s a journey.
So I truly dig this gal. I’ve been big into her music since the sugar cubes. This is one of my favorite songs she’s done. Thank you for covering her ✨
Same. I first heard the sugar codes and was completely floored. It was awesome to see her popularity grow after the sugar cubes.
I see Bjork with the same eyes I see Kate Bush. An innovator and always changing. I first saw her in London in 1988, when she was still vocalist for The Sugarcubes. I remember thinking that she'd go on to bigger things.
I love me some beserk Bjork. She is so different, an absolutely unique artist. Fabulous voice.😁👍📀❤️
The song Play Dead which she sings is one of my all time favorites. It's beautiful and showcases her voice.
That's my favorite of her too.
Yay! Now also do "Army of Me" by Björk too!
Should probably check her out when she was with the Sugar Cubes. The song "Birthday". I think you'll really like it.
Yes!!!
I only discovered Birthday last week and it's become and instant favourite. So much so I'm buying the album...on vinyl.
Seen her live she was amazing, if I was going to listen to more I would go for Play Dead, Venus as a Boy or Big Time Sensuality. Totally individual and I classifiable

Bjork is magic. Pagan poetry, all is full of love, anchor song. She's just special.
The divine Bjork! I have loved her since her first album, from which this song is from! 💕
Bjork is such an interesting Icelandic artist. She has such a unique and eclectic sound and her voice is such a delight. Some other good songs by Bjork are - all is full of love, venus as a boy, joga, hidden place, hyperballad, army of me

Actually, the original It's Oh So Quiet is a German song from the 1940s.
@@sexysadie2901 TY 😊
She was the lead singer of a band called the Sugarcubes. Their song “Birthday,” is fantastic, and her voice is amazing on it.
I love the fact she punched a paparazzi guy in the face when they were bothering her one time! 😄
If you're talking about the incident at the airport, it was a woman! Apparently this hack had been following Björk around and getting on her wick; she was with her young son and she'd had enough, and went for the hack, wrestled her to the ground and banged her head against the ground.

ARMY OF ME by Bjork. That's the one right there. Still sounds like it's from the freaking future and it's 26ish years old.
"Bachelorette" is amazing. Please do that next.
She has a very unique singing style. Love her music too.

Try her song Army of Me, it’s excellent
BJORK IS THE GREATEST BECAUSE SHE'S DIFFERENT AND UNIQUE 👑
"All Is Full Of Love"... always had the impression, my Josie loved that song. She was a wonderful cat.
I feel so fortunate to have seen her live back in 1989 when she was with The Sugarcubes. She is definitely uniquely talented.
Bjork is also a fine actress. Her biggest film is 2000's "Dancer in the Dark" (directed by Lars von Trier). I highly recommend it.
Great movie, but one of the saddest and tragic movies also
the soundtrack is pretty good too. I listen to it often.
Never ever cried as much as I did watching that movie
I FREAKIN LOVE this woman! She is her own genre for sure.
My two recommendations from her are Joga and Hunter.
HYPERBALLAD for the next Björk song
This is an iconic 90s video. I remember seeing it a lot in the morning before going to school. Being half awake and being tripped out by this and other videos like Nirvana's 'Heart-Shaped Box', Alice in Chains 'Man in the Box', etc.
Björk really deserves a good listen her music is very diverse and honestly, brilliant.
Class by herself. You should listen to Army of Me by her.
Bjork is legit... unique and highly influential. She was untouchable in the late 90s.
She has been dubbed the queen of avant-garden. I put her squarely in avant-garde and experimental.
I love that you love Björk
Thanks for checking Björk out again! This one is one of my faves by her. Another one I really like is "Venus as a boy". By the way, her name Björk means birch tree in English☺🌳
Bjorne is like a beautiful, abstract, artwork. All you can say is it’s beautiful. Her voice is insane. I love her growls.
I’d never heard this song before. It’s super cool!! Tnx for reacting to it and introducing me to it!
Bjork's genre? Wikipedia describes it as 'eclectic' and I don't think anyone would argue with that!
It includes a very diverse range of influences including electronic, dance, trip-hop, jazz, classical, alternative, experimental, punk, pop, gothic rock, avant garde and almost anything else you can think of.
Bjork is unclassifiable, your right
Here two more from her that definitely deserve a play. Firstly BIG TIME SENSUALITY and second a track before she became a solo artist from her band SUGARCUBES song called HIT.
I think you’ll enjoy these big time🤟
Hope you do some more Bjork, she is amazing, check out some of her live performances
You can’t put Björk in a box. She’s an anomaly that we have been blessed with and continues to shape shift sound along with visual artistry.
More Bjork, please! All her songs are works of art.
Bjork is a very unique Icelandic chic. Really bordering on bizarre.
I loved Bjork. She was so weird. So talented
Bjork is one of the few artists I've seen live in concert. Prince is another.
Genius woman. Have you checked out the band she used to be in, The Sugarcubes? Birthday & Hit were big hits in Europe in the early 90s.
Oh hell yeah! My favorite artist, singing a song she wrote herself! (Unlike "It's Oh So Quiet", which is an old show tune)
You probably can't go wrong with any of the songs on the Greatest Hits album, but off the top of my head, as a complement to "It's Oh So Quiet" and "Human Behavior", I'd recommend "Pagan Poetry." It's right inbetween "Quiet"'s poppiness and "Behavior"'s industrial sound, while being its own thing: a feast for the ears, emotionally evocative, and featuring her complete vocal range. (The video's got some nudity in it though, so watch out for that!)
@Rose Madder Sounds like an awesome time. I don't go to concerts, but at least I can say I own all her albums.
Oh, if you’re doing a third Bjork song try Big Time Sensuality. Banger from the 90s!
Oh! And she’s classified as either electronic dance or alternative/indie. :-)
So glad to hear you do more Bjork. I love her music. 😊❤️
“Army of Me” or “Hyperballad” might be good for you to do next and should you decide to dig even deeper, I’d definitely recommend something from her Homogenic and Vespertine albums. :)
You need to try ‘Army of Me’ (both the original and the version with Skunk Anansie), ‘The Bachelorette’, ‘Big Time Sensuality’, ‘Play Dead’, ‘The Hunter’, ‘Jóga’, ‘Violently Happy’, and especially the video for ‘All is Full of Love’.

Check out her 80s band, The Sugarcubes
Don't overthink it man, she's just a uniquely genius Icelandic pixie.
Bjork is the Icelandic elf of music and we love her:) Elves don't have genre:))
I’ve always just classed her music as Indy (independent). She’s an amazing artist, definitely check out her songs Play Dead & Venus as a boy! I discovered her when I was 14 (42 now) & love her to this day! Keep up the great reaction videos!
Pagan Poetry is such a beautiful song!! Possibly Maybe also!!

Bachelorette by Bjork is a must-listen! It's basically a Bond theme that never was, and is truly epic. The music video is fantastic too.
Bjork is a goddess, and elf like genius!
It’s good entry point that you listen to that “Greatest Hits” in order one by one, you’ll be amazed by the diversity
One of my all time favourite songs from Bjork. Can I please suggest your 3rd reaction be “violently happy” you will not be disappointed ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Bjork is a sound of her own. I have loved her for 25 years.
If you want to check out more electronic music from that era with that same feeling as you found toward the end of this song, abbbbbbsolutely check out Orbital - The Box. It’s on the album InSides and that entire album will take you in a weird and deep electronic musical journey that will leave you feeling spacey.
Imo björk is an experience! She takes you on a journey that includes head and heart. No genre needed ;-)
I was already your fan but after you interrupted the video to put on a media that turned up the volume and so, you and we could hear this work of art better, my respect for you is in the heights!! Thank you very much!!
Hyperbalad would be great to get yet another sound from the start of her career❤️
I always considered her earliest stuff INDUSTRIAL
Hyper Ballad is Bjork's best song. I love your reactions. Keep up the good work.
If you want something a little easier to ease in to the world of bjork but still full of the scope/majesty that she brings, I recommend "Play dead". The song is absolute fire 🔥🔥
An amazing artist, Bjork has many great songs. She’s offbeat, in a very good way
Check out Bjork songs Venus as a Boy and Joga
You are the most insightful reaction artist on TH-cam. Bjork is in my opinion multi-layered and you recognize it. Keep it up!
Bjork is my all time favorite! You can sleep, do drugs, or have sex to her music. She's a genius! Watch her video Hunter. 30 Seconds To Mars covered it

(They allegedly had a meeting in 1996 at which they decided to basically kill off rock & metal in favor of formulaic hip hop / R&B and reality shows, and in the next few years added a curiously high amount of boy bands & girl bands, and then corny nu-metal as the final nail in the coffin. A similar suicide was done to its sister network VH1.)
She's from Iceland. They are all mad up there
I just love her. She's an entire genre of her own. Don't sleep on her band, The Sugarcubes.
Yussss! "Play Dead" or "Hyperballad" next!
God, and then, like, 10 others. Bjork rules.
Bjork is just Bjork. She defies categorisation and exists in her own genre of one. There's a lot of different and brilliant stuff in her catalogue. Army of Me would be a good next step.
Violently Happy
If i could sing like anyone it would be Bjork. Her voice is heaven to me....
