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.

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

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.

the beats on this album are nuts. Love it!

She's amazing. A truely unique artist!

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've never actually heard her talk, but omg, beautiful.

I have never been lucky enough to see her live but I'm hoping that changes very soon!!!!!! xx

I always smile when I hear her talking :3

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. Claudia from Italy

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

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.

i always love watching this interview.

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 ♫♥

she looks like 90% of german football players looked like back in the 70ies.

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.

Bjork is one of the the most innovative and evolving artists out there, she always seems to reinvent herself with every album.

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..

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 ♥

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

BEAUTIFUL HAIR INCOMPARABLE PERSON! BEAUTIFUL VOICE AND SHE IS EVERYTHING IN MY LIFE!

she looks fabulous. she IS fabulous.

When she said reasons at the beginning, it sent shivers down my spine, the good kind

I love her accent,and I love her songs!

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..

I love how she pronounces 'Asia' !

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!

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!

i love that her voice never change a lot

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..

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!

the song is called crystalline

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 is pure art... Who cares her accent... Just love her great music

Bjork is AMAZING!!!

She is a true artist.

Even with the "IT" hairstyle you look lovely cute bjork!

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

Ohhhhhh the way she said reasons was worth hearing twice

She's really beautiful with this hair color ^^

She spent some time living in England and in NY but mainly has lived in Iceland.

I forgot,Thank you Björk for your beautiful Art! :)

I love how the video quality didn't age one bit from her early interview vids

verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry cool

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..

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.

Carrot Top sounds a lot different now that he stopped taking steroids

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 ^^

@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 ;-))

LOVE her accent !

I like how she pronounced Asia as "Ay-see-uh."

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

Was this her crazy cat lady phase?

Bring a dork, go see Bjork!

I love here! new album is really great. oh also she's so pretty

So random, so unique, her weird haircut :P I love Björk.

Her accent is awesome.... :P

Absolutely agreed

She's a prophet (A person regarded as an inspired teacher)

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

Oh right i wasn't aware she had moved back, i kind of liked the Cockney twang

I noticed this too. I think she moved back to Iceland...so she might not have been speaking English too much xxx

obvious explanation: she lives in diff parts of the world and travekls world over Im sure london, iceland, ny etc.

actually, she got internationally noticed in the late 80s with the sugarcubes.

@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.

i can't believe she nearly lost her voice!

good for you grandpa.

Luvly

I Cant believe she is 46 right now

her accent is always changing

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.

@PARICIDICtv thanks for the info, will check them out

She's Draconic, actually.

when björk says that she breaked the patterns, it means that the shit get serious.

@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.

Whatever you do... if you ever meet her, don't ever start by saying "Welcome to... (enter your city name)". :)

I think the biggest change is that her other albums are more emotional and this one's more rational

@06051988 It doesn't matter, her artistic side is more important

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"?

What a woman.

I don't mind some of her music, but holy strawberry electro-frizz scare-hair.

@PARICIDICtv cheers, it sounds very experimental. do you know any songs which have the same 'dubstep' feel?

She's from Iceland..She used to have a bit of a cockney accent when she was younger, totally gone now.

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...

@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.

But....But...Sir Troll, I don't have the fee to cross your bridge o.o

Its the dialect in which people speak in Britain.

i miss her old accent... she sounded a bit more scottish but she's still amazing :D

I love her accent although I don't understand her sometimes :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"

wow... she's wearing a suit! :O

Its cause she moved back to iceleand from britian, it was pretty funny when she had that cockney accent though.

@HASHEAVEN only time on the whole album tho, its less than a minute

For me english is foreign. If I speak my native language and then after few seconds switch to english I have a quite thick accent, but if I have been speaking english for a time my accent decreases. Maybe same thing is working with her.
