#Bjork #HumanBehaviour
Man, I’ve enjoyed so many of your reactions, but damn, if you don’t immediately recognize how difficult these vocals are…Study up brothers, this is boss level singing. The octave flips she does? Insane.
Totally! Her vocal skills are incredible. I was amazed that you were all underwhelmed by her voice. And the track has such a great groove. How can you not succumb?
Nah bro
@@astroboirap Your mixtapes are killer, so we’ll just have to disagree on Björk and that’s cool.
@@eddunn4121 I love bjork! It's such this one isn't boss level singing. The high notes on All Is Full of Love Though 😎🤌🏼
Truth.
If you really understand music, you'll most definitely recognize her genius. She is not for the large masses that's for sure, espcially for the "bros"... But she's a perfect example of how a musician should be like, authentic, honest and real.
Bjork is a genius. Innovation and creativity is odd to people who want everything to remain the same.
Bjork is a genius. A true musical visionary.
She freaking incredible, incredible vocals. Open yours minds just a little bit.
Bjork has the voice of the gods. This is such an classic tune that shows off her vocal range and style. Musically it's a bit lightweight compared to the musical masterpieces that her records that came after this were but it's a great intro into her solo career. Bjork makes this angry metal/hard rock guy swoon. More bjork please. Nick was such a champ here. Making the case for the merits of her and the song but also allowing for his buds negative reaction to exist without being hurt or trying to shut them down.
She’s one of the all time great artists! She has produced some of the most beautiful, wistful, yearning music ever made…
I love artists that are divisive like bjork. U can tell a lot about a person how they react to outsider art.
Always forward thinking, Björk has been breaking rules ever since. And she is an absolutely incredible vocalist... she doesn't go by the normal singing tropes. Listen to more songs... listen to Jóga next, it will drop your jaw.
Yes Joga is so good! I love Homogenic in general. Such a good album.
Team Joga! 👏🏾
Think they Will never do bjork again they hate It, bjork its unique not for everyone
@@fabianvarela1315 You don’t think the strings alone of “Joga” will mesmerize and transport them? I do. They now know she’s “off-center” so will be more willing to just go along for the ride.
@fabianvarela1315 Björk will definitely be on the channel again
The guy on the left makes me sad. This is an AWESOME song.
Bjork is definitely not an ordinary artist. She is out of the box, breaks rules with a lot of sound complexity and brings highly creative elements to her work. She has a very powerful, incomparable and unique voice. Many artists such as Missy Elliott, David Bowie, David Burne (Talking Heads), Madonna and Queen B have shown their admiration for her work. I'm not saying that everyone should like her music (most of the time it's a process) due to such complexity it's natural that not everyone likes her at first listen. But if you are a curious person who allows yourself to dive more deep about the musicality of the world and go beyond what streamings offer, you can be able to increase the sensitivity of your ears to this sound diversity experience without so much resistance.
She’s such a great vocalist.
Well, at least the guy in the middle has good taste. The production on her albums is amazing together with her powerful unique vocals and inventive lyrics.
The two others probably know only trash pop rap garbage and that's all
lol the other guys are your neighborhood bar straight down the middle folks.
The voice cracking style was very prevalent in the 90's with Björk, Alannis Morrisette and Shakira. It's definitely an acquired taste.
Sorry. ...I love her voice :)
Bold choice! i agree she has better songs but artists like Bjork are integral to breaking down norms in the music industry. Great reaction, thanks for keeping it real guys 😁
Voice crack is something that can sound bad if unintentional, but she is incredibly good at controlling it at using it to her advantage, it is personally my favorite part of her singing, but it is an acquired taste.
She's definitely an acquired taste. Her phrasing is unique that's why it sounds like she doesn't know how to sing but that's what make her stand out. I agree that if you give her a few spins it's something you'd appreciate (or still hate?). Thanks for peeking into her discography! It just gets weirder from here.
Back then during the office tea break we would discuss that weeks new chart releases. When Bjork came up, it was clear to me that there were no fence sitters in the room. You either loved it or hated it. She is pure talent with an extraordinary voice in my opinion, and so different.
There is something to be said about such divisive artists like Bjork. Nobody dislikes acts such as the The Beatles, you either like them or are “meh.” (They are my personal favourite band.) Nobody dislikes Michael Jackson. But it seems special to me that you can have an artist where, as you say, you either love her music or hate her music. There is no “meh” with her. Not quite sure what it all means, but it’s a testament to her one-of-a-kind style. I personally adore her, have to say that. Generational talent and an oddball at that.
How can you say that it's not singing. She has a amazing range
LOL...Reaction speaks volumes...Bjork is Brilliant and this song is amazing. You need neuroplasticity to vibe with this perfection. This sample is Quincy Jones from his score for the movie soundtrack The Adventurers.
Luuurved her in the 90’s. Still have several CD’s. She’s completely nuts and I’m here for it!
She is so creative and alternative. Venus As A Boy is one of my favourite songs of hers but I just love her in general. She goes her own way.
To enjoy Björk, you must embrace the “weirdness“, I consider her a creative Virtuoso. Although she is not for everyone, I’ve never heard anyone say they didn’t like her voice… So that’s a first! Sad to hear it, hope you keep giving her a chance, Björk can be an acquired taste.
for me, this song is one of the best songs from Bjork
Her song "Jóga" also has a beautiful vocal on it.
Hyperballad, Joga, All is Full of Love, Stonemilker. All of you will love at least one of those. Don’t give up just yet! She’s great!
Hyperballad is amazing and the lyrics are sad and deep
If I know a friend also enjoys Björk then I know we vibe along musical tastes. The perfect litmus test.
We've been huge Bjork fans since the 80s! Since the Sugarcubes, etc. Remember her icelandic accent creates like a low key yodel type of vocal transistion. Then her guttural H's. That's party of the beauty of Bjork (btw. We always have and so has she, said 'Bee yorke', so, idk.
Also considering this type of music and the year, this was teally artistically and creatively progressive. ✌ (Jodi/Child of the 60s) 🌸 Rabbit Hole!!!
Thanks, guys, I appreciate Ty and Ryan’s honesty; they were trying to connect with the song but without a hook or a catchy chorus that wasn’t happening. Not surprised bc that’s Bjork’s music ie they’re not sing-a-longs, if you will. Her tune “Joga” from Bjork’s 1997 album _Homogenic_ is more accessible (though it it will come off as “weird” to you all). Like another commenter, I recommend “Joga”. Oh and Nick, not even the hipsters in NULU would say “Byerk”. 😜
This is the best intro track to Byork. She's a top tier vocalist for sure. The discography is legit.
Bjork is so unique! As is kate bush, sinead o connor and pj harvey. You have to think outside the box for their music to love it. I love odd
For those who don't know her yet, I recommend a first listen to "Vespertine", a great album.
Maybe this song wasn't the best choice to introduce her.
Sooo, if I'm not mistaken I'm hearing the verse melody as centred around the minor sixth and the fourth over a suggested root chord. That's weird fam. And it sounds amazing.
I was never into Bjork but this is one of the songs I know and like. Her music is psychedelic. I guess Hendrix, Joplin and Morrison would have been excited with her work. :)
Oh definitely do more Bjork. I don't love everything she does but she is something special.
Also something to note there's a lot of times where she sounds like she's speaking a different language and she's literally just ad libbing. She's a very interesting artist.
I loved her first solo release. "Army Of Me" and "Oh So Quiet" are both amazing songs though completely different.
Absolutely love the driving percussion.
Cool song, I used to like this back in the day, it was played on alternative rock radio all the time. Haven’t heard it in decades.
This popular in clubs, the sort of insidious tune that'd play early in the evening before the place would get crowded. And this was popular on MTV. Throughout the 90's, MTV was the arbiter of pop music for most American teenagers and young adults, and that's no exaggeration. Most Gen Xers know how "odd" she is (Kristen Wiig would impersonate her on SNL). She has a a few standouts, inlcuding this one. That dreamy feel, and the beats... the song is best loud. Great, honest reaction!
Oh man shes amazing bros. Give it a chance
Hyperballad next maybe
This song is great,
"Venus as a Boy" is probably more accessible for your first listen of Björk. Or the commercially successful "It's oh so quiet".
I'd highly recommend The Sugarcubes song 'Hit'. It's where everyone discovered the completely unique nature of Bjork. Her song 'Big time sensuality ' is great too. Personally I love the videos she made with music director Michel Gondry. They are so creative. Human Behaviour was directed by him.
She’s one of the most progressive and creative artists around.
Expand your horizons! This video was directed by Michel Gondry. Take a look at other music videos he has directed. They are usually quite weird.
This song came out in the early 90's when I was a young kid, it became a staple on all the Alt Rock radio stations everywhere AND constantly on MTV. Radio and MTV were very important to us back then, that's how we were kept up to date - Bjork is Alt Rock to the extremeS
The middle guy is the smartest and knows actually a bit of how great music is made
Explore her back catalogue more - she’s incredible
Great rythm, great video!
She's definitely not for everyone, and yeah that's just her style of singing. I appreciate hearing honest reactions to songs.
Oh my, some of you(not pointing anyone out) just really do not get how hard the vocals are in segments of this song. Seriously, the pitch and falsetto aspects are quite complicated.
Bjork is just Bjork, nothing can compare.
I remember when she showed up at the Emmy's or some award show in a swan outfit. She is different, that is for certain...an acquired taste.
It was the oscars
Please watch “oh so quiet" for the full range of bjork
She is art , all of her ❤ and unique like aurora is 🫶🏻
Shes one of those that you either get it or you dont... you either roll with the weirder and artier stuff, or not. Talking Heads is the same thing.
Bjork is love for life❤
This video reminded me of a plot from the film "children of the corn", something dark from horror films of the 80-90s, I like the work of Björk, a talented creation.
I loved her stuff with the Sugar Cubes, and always respected her dedication to her craft and inventive genius.
Bjork is the best. My favorite reaction you've done so far. More more more.
Nice. And here’s hoping you guys continue down the Bjork rabbit hole.✌🏽
Yes. Yea yes yes. Her early stuff is what I know. Love it.
If you listen to her spoken voice it’s very distinctive too.
To your Grammy comment, Bjork is the most snubbed female artist in Grammy History, with 16 losses. Snoop Dogg has 17
Hello guys hope y'all are doing fine. Don't know if a request in one comment is allowed but I'll give it a try. My suggestion is GARY MOORE - I still got the blues (Live version). Thanks in advance.
Bjork. It’s all so quiet
The Vulnicura album is a masterpiece. It’s difficult to choose one song of this album. It’s very « intime ». Next song video stonemilker in version 2 D or Joga. Please 🙂
Speaking of female singers, please, please checkout Olivia Newton-John. She deserves to be on this channel. She started as a country pop singer until she starred in Grease for which is when her transition to good girl to sexy Sandy in the movie showed in her music and later image. Her voice is so angelic not to mention she was beautiful! Her songs “Magic”, “A Little More Love”, “Have You Never Been Mellow” “I Honestly Love You” and “Xanadu” (featuring ELO) are some of my faves.
They should definitely do A Little More Love as an ONJ solo and Xanadu since Nick loves ELO so much.
Thank you for your honesty, Ryan! I'm here for it.
The entire album is fire 🔥 fire 🔥 fire 🔥
Great song choice! I remembee watching this on MTV when it was new- so much better than her work with the Sugarcubes. Also check out her song “Army of Me” from her next album, Post. And please do some more Steve Perry solo when you get a chance: She’s Mine or Strung Out.
Guys you REALLY need to listen to Bjork - Army Of Me, it’s brilliant & the video is amazing.👌
Love her... always have and always will.... Not exactly Yacht Rock but... Anyway, she's amazing in the movie Dancer in The Dark with Catherine Deneuve, David Morse, Joel Grey and Peter Stormare, as well... I'd recommend it but it's also an acquired taste... I guess.
You guys are my favorite reactors on The Tube. Your Boz Scaggs (Lowdown) and Al Stewart (Year of The Cat) are the best of the best... Keep it up.
I love soo soo sooo much Björk maaaan❤ thanks
Great choice! You may like “all is full of love”
Female singers try Garbage “Special” it’s also a cool video.
Good call on "All is Full of Love."
By Garbage, I also like "I Think I'm Paranoid."
You should do her only big hit with "Sugarcubes" called "Cold Sweat." Before moving on into more of her solo material, just my two cents. Also, understand that she is making JAZZ vocal choices. Instead of - for instance - a simple pentatonic melody, she will hit 4ths and 9ths unexpectedly. She has perfect or near perfect pitch, and her onsets are dead on the note. She doesn't glide or slide up to or down to notes as is usual in rock singing. She'll just sing a tonic note, and then bang, straight to the 4th, with no reference. She's actually amazing.
you've just reminded me of the Sugarcubes, remember they had some good tunes
The only place Cold Sweat was any kind of hit seems to be the UK, and if that's the case it's not their only hit. "Hit" was their most widely successful single in the UK, anyway. I remember it being on The Chart Show and everything lol
@@storageheater Here in the U.S., it was an alternative/college radio hit and the video saw frequent rotation on MTV, including the show "120 Minutes" which highlighted alternative music.
What? I would say Birthday and Hit got waaaay more radio play than Cold Sweat did, but I do agree that it's a great track. It's definitely the most "rock" sounding of all of The Sugarcube's discography which is probably more palatable to people starting to get into their music. Personally I think tracks like Hetero Scum and Delicious Demon are some of their best work
- hyperballad
- joga
- army of me
Despite initial reactions, there are quite a few really good songs on this album. When it came out, I noticed that a lot of my female friends really liked the album.
Interesting choice.
Curious to hear.
Björk is a genre of her own...and she is amazing. She is like 90s punk.
it's her singing on the chromatic scale set against that music that makes it so unique.
I saw the Sugarcubes in a festival in 1989 it was a special experience. Björk was interesting but never an easy listening. One of her biggest hits was her cover of "It's oh so quiet".
A more mainstream song from Iceland is from Islandic singer Emilíana Torrini "Jungle drum" which was a huge hit in Europe.
Another great Icelandic artist, and different than the norm, is Olafur Arnalds.
Back in the day; Bevis and Butthead, reacted to this video. Of course, it was awesome.
This is in many ways the perfect song. Her off key on key singing is genius level stuff as is the songwriting.
I'm not a huge fan of Björk, especially after seeing her attack a journalist in Bangkok after the journalist simply says "Welcome to Bangkok". I guess we all have a bad day, but it's NUTS!! Check it out. Anyway, musically, I do love that she has a unique sound. One of my favourite Madonna songs was co-written by Björk called "Bedtime Story". Your reactions are hilarious.....as usual. I freakin' LOVE this channel. :)
Where my Gen Xers at?!!!
😎✌🏽
@@gabrielmcdonnell8699 😃 👍 👊
Björk's biggest "hit", if you can call it that, in the US was her remake of "It's Oh So Quiet." Check that one out and of course, watch the video.
The music is tripphop
I love Bjork she's weird unique original and entertaining..
You better keep listening to public radio 😅
I love weird music! And of course Björk is included. Other artist you should check: Nina Hagen (Naturträne; African Reggae); Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs (Wooly Bully); the Avalanches (Frontiers Psychiatrist) ; Violent femmes (I hear the rain); Cardiacs (Tarred and feathered); Screamin' Jay Hawkins (I put a spell on you); the Trashmen (Surfin Bird); Frankie Laine (Rawhide); Real Group (den makalösa manicken; Laurie Anderson (Big science); Devo (Jocko Homo); The Flying Lizards (Money); Temple City Kazoo Orchestra (2001 sprach Kazoostra); Kent (då som nu för alltid); Tiny Tim (Living in the sunlight); Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band (Raise a little hell); the Panturas (Tafsir Mistik); John 5 and the creatures (Here's to the crazy ones); Jan Johansson quintet (Lapp Nils Polska); Iron Weasel (My face down in a plate of nachos); Samla mammas manna (Syster System); Yoko Ono (The great gig in the sky); The Pipkins (Gimmi dat ding); Stina Nordenstam (bird on a wire); Wild child (Crazy bird); Blue man group (I feel love); the B52's (Planet Claire); To many Zoos (Bedford); Frank Zappa (Strictly genteel). I think I have some more... By the way, Björk + PJ Harvey with "Satisfaction" is great!
She's a stone-cold genius.
Based on what you guys like, I figured you wouldn't be into it. Something in this vain, but you MIGHT like - Kate Bush "rubber band girl" from 1993 also
She has an album of icelandic folk songs recorded when she was child. She was in the band Sugarcubes. Check out 'Hit' - Her next album after this was much more dance-electronic which is 'POST'
Tnis is a good introduction to Bjork and her Discography. So quickly the song is about humans but from the perspective of the animals. That's how they see us , cause that's how we all really are, terribly moody creatures. Her cadence is Directly influenced by the icelandic language. I will def recommend having lyrics onscreen because she pronounces words with her accent and elongates words. Going forward she evolves more into electronica/ Trap/ house/industrial/Glitch Pop that inspired a ton of today's musical artists. Great Job guys , her music def isn't for everyone but at least y'all gave it a chance 👊
Björk is ICONIC. Though dated now, this sound was groundbreaking upon release. A lot of artists have taken these sounds and have been profoundly influenced by Björk.
Uggg I hate when people don’t get her
Love this song. She is phenomenal!
Suprised you guys have not checked out the contempory Icelandic band Kaleo. The vocals of the band's singer are 10 out of 10 and they have A level material.
