And, of course, I don't own this video, I've never interviewed Björk (though I sort of wish I could :3).

BTW...Bjork is not back..she didn't go anywhere...she has always been here and always will be.That is the nature of the life-form we lovingly know as Bjork
i've always loved her voice. she could sing a grocery list and i'd be happy to hear it.
she's got guts. not afraid to take risks in her music.
Her accents much stronger again, she must have lived back in Iceland for a few years.
bassdoc when she lived in England she sounded verrryy English but she's back to her old Icelandic sounding self now
Oh and I should say that I think Björk is brilliant. Somehow whenever I listen to her music, her voice always seems to remind me that the voice was the first instrument. As incredibly developed and sophisticated as her voice is, she just retains such a primal and expressive element in her delivery that's impossible to miss.
O NO! My favorite singer in the whole entire World almost lost her voice!!! How do you get a throat nodule? Poor Bjork! We Love U Bjork! Congrats on Biophilia. I'm going to buy your album.
and crazier than ever
Acoolwind for you crazy. For me
....very normal.
The way she rolls her R's give me eargasms!
It happens even when it's the same language. I was born in in the U.S. but my parents moved to the U.K. when I was 2 and we moved back to the U.S. when I was 15. I just naturally adopted a British accent, even though my parents spoke with an American accent. I was in HS and wanted to sound like everyone else so I learned to speak with an American accent, but anytime I go back to the UK or spend time around family or friends from the UK, I fall right back into the accent, without realising it.
Dearest Björk.
You are one of the people I look up to the most and I am thrilled that this is happening.
I think perhaps you have slowly been translating from music to what can be represented in images.
That is sublime and I say it as a hopefully meaningful compliment which I hope you accept.
Gratitudes back to Björk warmth and endless respect.

She's amazing. A truely unique artist!
Comparing Gaga to Bjork is interesting. I do thing Gaga aspires to and achieves some originality. But Bjork is on a different level, and she has the gift of true genius. She isn't just trying to be original,she is also exploring life. Gaga tries a little too hard, maybe, but she is young. She's more like Madonna to me. More polished, less organic.
the beats on this album are nuts. Love it!
i've never actually heard her talk, but omg, beautiful.
she looks like 90% of german football players looked like back in the 70ies.
Google the 1974 German soccer team 🤣

I have everything this beautiful creative artist has put out. Biophillia is still growing on me it is a new experience because that is the delightful thing about bjork each of her albums are different enough in sound yet still have that wonderful bjork personality. If you think it lacks then you have yet to really understand it
I have never been lucky enough to see her live but I'm hoping that changes very soon!!!!!! xx
She only lived in London in the early-mid 90s, my guess is that she's been hanging back in Iceland for quite a while now
I always smile when I hear her talking :3
Bjork is one of those rare artists who is fearless and committed about growth and exploration in her music..like Joni Mitchell who continues to go places unexpected and often far from commercial..and when you love these artists you go out here with them. She is a genius
she looks fabulous. she IS fabulous.
Bjork is one of the the most innovative and evolving artists out there, she always seems to reinvent herself with every album.
BEAUTIFUL HAIR INCOMPARABLE PERSON! BEAUTIFUL VOICE AND SHE IS EVERYTHING IN MY LIFE!
A true artist.Amazing,innovative,full of talent,beautiful,genius.Since the day she started making music.From Tappi Tikarass,KUKl,The Sugarcubes,Elgar Sisters,her collaborations to her Solo work.Björk ♫♥
Just because she looks different now, doesn't mean her voice has changed. and It still is about the music, she still loves music all the same. I think she has gained strength over the years of her not singing.. If anything. She still is quite beautiful, the music is still awesome, and her voice is still glorious.. I don't see anything wrong there..
i always love watching this interview.
I love her accent,and I love her songs!
I think that as people, we should always be trying to reinvent ourselves. Otherwise we are not really living life, we are just doing things the way they have always been done. As an artist, it makes sense that she would do this because that is what being an artist is. Plus, if Bjork cared to dress or style herself in a way that everyone would like, then she wouldn't really be Bjork. And that's called being a poser.
I love how she pronounces 'Asia' !
When she said reasons at the beginning, it sent shivers down my spine, the good kind
i love that her voice never change a lot
Even with the "IT" hairstyle you look lovely cute bjork!
Biophilia indeed sounds very organic like Björk herself said! Slightly different than before but just as good, creative and emotional, and I'm so glad that she got her voice back! ♥ It was so sad when her previous cig to Finland was cancelled. I've been a huge fan of hers for years, but have never had a chance to see her live! I hope my dream would finally come true ♥
there's always something new and exciting and different with each record she puts out and this is where she completely gets my attention! she is truly a gem in the industry, an antidote to the current poisoned state of music!
She is a true artist.
Ohhhhhh the way she said reasons was worth hearing twice
Bjork is AMAZING!!!
Why must people criticize her? I think she is still a wonderful person.. She still has the beautiful voice too.. Yes she changed her hair, but does that matter? It doesn't matter how the artist looks, it is how the music makes you feel and the glorious voice she has..
verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry cool
I can't believe people are dogging her here! She writes beautiful, a little bit zany, but beautiful songs. I look at Björk's musical career and almost none of it stayed the same. That's good, most artists stick to one thing, Björk does it all and all are great. Plus, I like the orange hair!
Carrot Top sounds a lot different now that he stopped taking steroids
Rest in peace my friend
Bjorks Biophilia project is the most creative thing to ever happen to music!! I love her so much!!! I wonder if this interview was in her house? She does say here in Iceland..
She's really beautiful with this hair color ^^
because she's moved back and forth between iceland and london over the years, but she's always had that icelandic twang in her voice when she's speaking and singing :)
Wow. I used to have a big crush on a girl who wore a brown, plaid suit-style jacket like that all the time. She actually introduced me to Bjork's music. And that was about 15 years ago! How odd!
That's no different than regional sub-dialects in America. When you move around and live in, say, California or New York City, then return to your rural area you slide right back into your regional accent. For those who haven't experienced this, I'm referring to the Pittsburgh to Altoona, PA rural accent. When your away from PA for years you lose a lot of that accent, but pick it right up when you return. My guess is it is the same across America.
Was this her crazy cat lady phase?
Jj
I forgot,Thank you Björk for your beautiful Art! :)
Very very original and unique.
Also love anything a bit dark and experimental from Tricky, Radiohead, Aphex Twin, Gray Numan, Massive Attack, Ghostpoet, Unkle, Portishead, AllFlaws
I love how the video quality didn't age one bit from her early interview vids
the song is called crystalline
She is pure art... Who cares her accent... Just love her great music
And it is important to listen to this album as its own and to not compare it to other releases, this is a new concept with different ideas creating it so it won't be post, the sequel or homogenic II .
She spent some time living in England and in NY but mainly has lived in Iceland.
Bring a dork, go see Bjork!
when she was first famous was in the mid 90s... you understand that was like, a decade and a half ago? people change over time, surprisingly..
I love here! new album is really great. oh also she's so pretty
Absolutely agreed
Her accent is awesome.... :P
LOVE her accent !
I like how she pronounced Asia as "Ay-see-uh."
A lot of people think this album lacks of the emotion of her past albums but is not as if the topics on Biophilia are not artistic, deep or important. I find it really poetic how nature and non living entities are analogous to the creative process, and also how life itself (replicating DNA (Hollow), protein synthesis (Virus), the living cell) is perfectly coordinated. So don't think you can talk about "personal things" without even knowing why you are alive. Bipohilia=Love for living systems ^^
it seems her accent really went back and forth over the years. earlier I think she used to live in Britain, so she acquired more of a British accent. but now I believe she lives in Iceland permanently
So random, so unique, her weird haircut :P I love Björk.
@Besoaria I saw björk live in berlin in the Vespertine ära, i think 2005. Sound in that hall was very bad and out was a big storm that was hearing in the hall, but looking in her eyes is a magical moment. it gives you special emotions see her live. for a long time i said that Vespertine was a logical consequence from Homogenic ;-). i dont want say anything to the last two albums, because i need time...but Thunderbolt is another Björks "special thing"...hope you see björk soon as possible ;-))
She's a prophet (A person regarded as an inspired teacher)
her accent is always changing
actually, she got internationally noticed in the late 80s with the sugarcubes.
Although I feel quite comfortable with an American accent, in some ways a British accent still feels more comfortable for me. People don't get that. They don't know what it's like. It's like they want you to pick one or the other and stick to it, but it's not like that. They'll ask me why my accent has changed, but I don't even realize it's happened half the time. Gillian Anderson and John Barrowmen are two examples of the same. Their accent depends on where they are & with whom they're speaking
i can't believe she nearly lost her voice!
Luvly
She's Draconic, actually.
when björk says that she breaked the patterns, it means that the shit get serious.
I Cant believe she is 46 right now
good for you grandpa.
I think the biggest change is that her other albums are more emotional and this one's more rational
@AnnyNorn Oh you just don't understand her music. She's using something called Metaphors you know. She talks about herself just not in a direct-literal way.
I noticed this too. I think she moved back to Iceland...so she might not have been speaking English too much xxx
Whatever you do... if you ever meet her, don't ever start by saying "Welcome to... (enter your city name)". :)
Oh right i wasn't aware she had moved back, i kind of liked the Cockney twang
@PARICIDICtv thanks for the info, will check them out
obvious explanation: she lives in diff parts of the world and travekls world over Im sure london, iceland, ny etc.
@KingOfUm Really? That's interesting...I actually couldn't get it out of my head! I found the melody for "Virus" especially mesmerizing and memorable, especially her howling-like singing that repeats itself..."Crystalline" had an extremely prominent and memorable beat for me, and I remember being very intrigued by "Mutual Core" Some of the others were a little late bloomers for me, like "Moon" and "Dark Matter"and "Thunderbolt" but still very strange and memorable melodies.
Its the dialect in which people speak in Britain.
@06051988 Not really weird. In the 90's she was living in London. Now she splits her time between Iceland and New York. So yeah.
She's from Iceland..She used to have a bit of a cockney accent when she was younger, totally gone now.
What a woman.
I don't mind some of her music, but holy strawberry electro-frizz scare-hair.
But....But...Sir Troll, I don't have the fee to cross your bridge o.o
Obviously you aren't listening to her in this video. She broke out of old patterns she was stuck in when it seemed not to work anymore. Her music is about her life, so when changes happen her music just reflects that. And she's always gonna be icelandic!
wow... she's wearing a suit! :O
Just recently i bought my niece an ipod nano, and installed the album Homogenic. I was hoping that she would like it, especially the song "Pluto". A week later she asks me "how do i take Bjork off my nano?" Kids, what do they know? She asked for "1 direction", whatever that is...
Hi y'all
juanbjork hi from 4 years later
What is the last song called that plays in the background of this interview? 2:06 on when there's an orb around Bjork on that plant? Is it "Crystalline"?
You have to think that English is not her native tongue...as with me when I am purely speaking my first language (dutch) I start to speak with different inflections etc...in the 90s she was in England and had english in her ears constantly...then the last decade probably the other way around...back to hearing icelandic constantly...im sure if she spent an appreciable amount of time in England again it would change yet again.
i miss her old accent... she sounded a bit more scottish but she's still amazing :D
I dunno about this one, just dont know. i have the feeling it was done at gun point. " Now you gunna put on the fro and you gunna like it"
@PARICIDICtv cheers, it sounds very experimental. do you know any songs which have the same 'dubstep' feel?
What's the deal with people amazed from her accent. Listen to a Dutch person sometime. Bjork is totally spellbinding from the words that she uses, not from how she says them.
@06051988 It doesn't matter, her artistic side is more important
keep looking at the younger Bjork videos then, or pray, or invent an elixir to keep bjork young. Beyond that, you're kind of in trouble
