Vespertine

For years, I just didn’t get Björk. That squealing voice, the kooky image, the single “It’s oh so quiet” that split opinion. Björk was definitely a marmite artist. Then I stumbled across Vesperine and was instantly hooked. Maybe I’m getting a bit more tolerant in my old age but within seconds of hearing this album I fell in love with it - and with Björk. Vesperine is a jewelled musical box of music and Bjork is the ballerina spinning around inside the box when you turn the key. Clever use of electronica, found sounds, synthesizers, strings, harps, bells - and a massed female choir on several tracks - create an otherworldly sound, like you’ve been enticed by a siren to enter a universe of Bjork’s dreams and imagination. Vesperine is an exquisite collection of great songs, sumptuously arranged and performed, the like of which you’ll probably never come across again .

You can listen and listen again , great songs combined with inventive arrangements and consummate programming and production

Quite frankly, this album is amazing. Everything about this album is amazing synchronized menacing wonder of Hidden Place all the way through to the intimacy of cocoon. The uplifting Its not up to you (which always gives me goosebumps when the hook comes in), the enchanting harm of will, the mysterious Sun in my Mouth, the reviving Unison, the amazing aurora and the absolutely MAGNIFICENT PAGAN POETRY 10/10 SONG. Definately worth buying. each song has its own emotion. better than any other album by Bjork.

This is a fantastic album and I cannot believe that it took me so long to fully get into Bjòrk's music. This album is especially special as it was written, and influenced by the time that Björk and a long-term partner formed a relationship. The breakdown of this relationship is documented in Vulnicura. I feel these albums have a special bond between them.

As a Björk fan and as someone who have listened every song by her, I can tell this is her best album, all shy, intimate, white, winterly, its very sweet, relaxing, reflective, melancholy, it's quite an experience, "Aurora" is my favorite track of it

I'm not well at the mo so it will be short,i'm new to Bjork's music-but this album is creative,otherworldly,catchy and so unique,which is one of the main reasons for starting to listen to the artist-Totally Genuine.If you like Bjork already-you WILL love this,Brilliant.
