[@sea-ferring]

Fun Fact - most if not all of the drum sounds are sampled and manipulated sounds from the Icelandic landscape. Thermal vents, volcanic mud pools bubbling etc.

[@jpmp1201]

Thats awesome; thanks for sharing!

[@cd6356]

Yes!!!so true,she is a Genius 👌💞🥰🥰🥰

[@maddie1519]

It's just the awesomeness of bjork.

[@chrisguevara]

Her first 3 albums are masterpieces IMO. She was untouchable in the 90's.

[@krautgazer]

I feel like she only made masterpieces, at least in her solo career (not so much with the Sugarcubes). Her first 3 albums (Debut, Post and Homogenic) are certainly more accessible and full with perfect weird pop songs, but her next 3 albums are also so incredible and forward-thinking with her exploration of microbeats (Vespertine), vocals (Medúlla) and big production (Volta). Biophilia is a declaration of love for music, comparing it to the very nature we inhabit and exploring the relationship between music theory and science. Her last 2 albums (Vulnicura and Utopia) are so goddamn emotional and intimate that they always make me cry with how raw she sounds when exploring her personal story with love and a saddening heartbreak, and instrumentally they're more organic than before with intricate arrangements and acoustic instruments. She's one of those rare artists with a 100% perfect discography so far.

[@josemanuelnegroe9992]

John Carvalho 100% agree, Björk’s discography is perfect

[@itsmypukapuka4710]

She still is.

[@markbrower497]

Vespertine is also a masterpiece

[@mynameismynameis666]

the latest album is crazy good. in general, they all are, depending whatever situation of love you find yourself in

[@HiroBrown]

Dudes! Bjork is so good the more you discover. So different!

[@RileFire]

Hiro Brown she’s incredible!!

[@leenah8212]

I would HIGHLY recommend reacting to Pagan Poetry by her!!

[@vespertine8555]

Yes pleaseeee

[@_PrincessMaggot]

But it has to be the official music video for that extra “surprise” at the beginning lmao

[@noraxtessier]

Saaaaame

[@dexstewart2450]

Make sure you get the actual video of her getting a piercing

[@RafaelReyesofficial]

Yeeeeessss

[@ponchokcomputer]

“Jóga” is a tribute to her best friend...

[@amigui_]

Björk is a whole experience. You should react to Homogenic, one of her best albums. It's full of richness and mixes these futuristic electronic elements with a classical approach in a very detailled way.

[@jpmp1201]

Sounds amazing and right up our alley!

[@kdmiranda]

Her best album and my favorite album of al times!!!

[@fundies2]

@@kdmiranda Agreed 1000%. Its like listening to a little dreamlike universe she created. So good.

[@jocaeryss]

This album made such impact on pop industry that every futuristic films with robots were inspired by her All Is Full Of Love's videoclip

[@estebanrodriguez1456]

well, the whole album it's excellent, except for one annoying track.

[@alexanderdiaz7291]

Her voice is from another world.

[@edgeofwest5741]

No just Iceland 🇮🇸

[@richardw.389]

😂😂😂👍

[@janahcoaching]

See what Kate Bush did already in the 80s. She was so ahead of her time, and also like Björk, always kept control of everything.

[@massimilianopraticelli8986]

Yes guys, I am from Italy :) I love listening to music and I'm a huge Björk fan! I'm so happy that you enjoyed "Joga". This song is an icelandic anthem. I hope that you explore more of her songs. Please listen to "Family" by Björk, it's an 8 minute masterpiece! Let me also recommend you more by other artists! - "I can't see New York" by Tori Amos - "The Working Hour" by Tears For Fears - "Mr. Pessimist" by Tears For Fears - "Digging in the dirt" by Peter Gabriel - "Missing Link" by Curve - "Empty" by Sarah Mclachlan - "Hold on" by Sarah McLachlan - "Take Cover" by Mr. Big - "Mono Desire" by Manu Delago - "The Beast" by Imogen Heap - "Blindfold" by Morcheeba - "Selling Jesus" by Skunk Anansie - "Denial" by Sevendust

[@jpmp1201]

Thanks for watching and your recommendations; it's much appreciated!

[@labauer5314]

I'm HUGE Björk fan! She's all her! Like no one else!

[@ems_h.eartnotes]

Björk Hyperballad is another beautiful masterpiece

[@jorgesblog8017]

Hyperballad now.

[@HMan2828]

Homogenic is one of the best albums of all times period.

[@reddaB]

Hearing it for the first time in 2019?? Where have you been haha this is a CLASSIC everyone should know. Best tune ever.

[@jpmp1201]

Eh, we're a bit late lol. -JP

[@cd6356]

Yes!been listening to her sinds the 90's,i was 13years,she is a goddes 👌💞🥰💫🙏

[@SamLeal]

Listen to Bjork's hidden place or stonemilker or Oceania. Great review! 👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@---kp1dp]

omggg stone milker is beautiful

[@AndreasDivus1]

People always say "I want this song played at my funeral", but I've never been to a funeral at which a song was played. So I will just say that if songs were played at funerals, I'd want this played at mine. lol

[@jpmp1201]

Lol 💀

[@WKADESIGNS]

Gosh, seeing you guys react to this iconic song makes me want to erase my memory and discover this all over again! Homogenic is hands-down my favorite Bjork album!

[@jpmp1201]

Thanks WKA! Appreciate you watching!

[@aureliogj7966]

one of those rare moments in pop music that reaches the Sublime without feeling forced and conceited.

[@playdestr0y828]

Recommendations: kate bush - cloudbusting and grimes - genesis,

[@gozzywozzy485]

I'd forgotten just how amazing this composition was. Thank you for taking me back. She is a true genius and this song is a veritable feast for the human ear

[@MattePurple1]

Her voice in this song is so measured yet with a sense of urgency. She's a master of ambiance and intention. A truly unique artist.

[@lesliemadariaga8207]

Bjork makes my life so smooth ❤️😌and this is one of my fav teenager songs .

[@lauriemayhew2279]

I love how she stretches words out over several beats. Each syllable gets it's own note, or two, or three, like "e-mo-tion-a-a-l." It mirrors the expansive landscape that she's singing about, as well as the the bird's eye view of Iceland in the music video. Debut, Post, Homogenic and Vespertine are my favorite albums. Volta is my favorite later album. The other two later ones didn't grab me

[@coolhive2941]

Her name is pronounced Byerk, rhymes with jerk. So happy to find this reaction and that you liked her. She’s one of my all time favorite artists and would love to see more reactions. Great job guys.

[@aureliogj7966]

if you're interested into one of those "did you know....?" this is a love letter to her homeland, Iceland. State of emergency describes the endless battle of its inhabitants with the harsh and unforgiving terrain and climate of this tiny isolated island in the doorstep of the Arctic.

[@jpmp1201]

Oh, we love "Did you know..." stuff :) Thanks for the background info.

[@calindamc9651]

Um no she has spoken about this being an ode to her best friend.

[@Enzempiro]

The thing with this song... I’ve been listening to it for 20+ years. 20 YEARS! And I didn’t catch that bass line just RECENTLY (W/ the use of a “good” pair of headphones). It’s one of my top three favorite beats she’s created. Also, there’s another verse (maybe multiple verses) to this song that makes it even deeper. Ugh. So good.

[@losdesmayosdeNestor]

Joga is an amazing song. True Avant Garde artist.

[@MrUnison77]

Thanks for this. I've seen her performig live twice here in Buenos Aires, and dude...she's awesome! Please more Björk. Here's a new suscriber 🤚

[@jpmp1201]

Thank YOU for watching and your sub; she is indeed amazing.

[@ericlavoie8027]

Don’t get me started on how Homogenic is probably the best album EVER in my mind. It is so beautifully done, and still very relevant almost 25years later.

[@itsmypukapuka4710]

The first reaction video about Bjork that approaches her work with suiting reverence, understanding, and emotional intelligence. The first reaction video that handles her with due appreciation and in her place, and gets her for what she is, a sensation, in the abstract meaning of the word. For that, I subscribed to your channel. Thank you.

[@jpmp1201]

Appreciate that a lot Aimee, thank you.

[@efrencantu4732]

Chills inducing song!!!! One of her very best.

[@HELL0NESSA]

This is a PERFECT ALBUM. I listened to this ON REPEAT all the way through, in high school. I can't remember the year. Maybe freshman year. All day, every day. It was my favorite album and is still probably top 5. Its perfect.

[@janciepants]

I love how the strings are a counter-melody. 👍🏻🎶

[@troubleondemand7703]

Check out Isobel by Bjork as well. Sonically awesome.

[@calindamc9651]

Omg yes

[@ChrisSmith-tu9bu]

One of my all time favorite songs

[@isildb1927]

One of the most beautiful Songs of all time!

[@ValoSchecter]

There is no one like bjork I just love her!!!

[@dayglowjoe]

oh wow i love your reaction, it really is one of the best songs of all time, made me think back to when i first heard it as a teen almost twenty years ago and it changed my life. i only listened to pop chart music at that age and she introduced me to a whole new role of alternative artists

[@jpmp1201]

Thank you for watching! I love music that can take you back to a moment in your life and make you reflect.

[@IshwaraYogaNET]

Saw her a few times in the 90s . Beautiful!

[@mamfsy]

One of my favourite songs of all time.

[@elfcounsul]

“Roads” by Portishead. The cry in her voice will tear you up. Mariza sings new Fado. Her voice will melt you.

[@mata7059]

One thing about is she creates her own words and sings it so good. Like the one you hear at 4:50. It's not English. It's not Icelandic. It's Bjork. Nice interpretation too by you guys. I love how you guys interpret there music. It's not just the lyrics but the entire music. Thanks why I follow this channel. -Evanescence -Hi-Lo -Chack - Bjork -Yoga - Check Hoping more of my favourite artist's reactions from you guys. If you were to take my recommendation, it would be Evanescence- Imperfection and My Immortal Bjork - Bachelorette and Pagen Poetry Regina Spektor - Samson

I love that; reminds me of Sigur Ros in the way the language is developed. Thank you watching and the recs as well.

[@CGPOPPOOP]

I love having grown up with her career and discovering these albums when I discovered weed lol. They just compliment each other sooo nicely.

[@justincredible.]

One of the best albums EVER made!

[@loughie450]

You guys need to react to Kate Bush

[@calindamc9651]

Not only an amazing vocalist who uses her voice like an instrument but gorgeous storyteller and ahead of her time producer literally nothing she can’t f**king smash been listening to her since her sugarcube days. No one comes close. Also this is song is an ode to her best friend. Loved your reactions!

[@soy_nando51]

Björk siempre se mantiene a la vanguardia con sus álbumes, es experimental y no le teme a probar con diferentes sonidos y mezclas. Ella hace lo que los demás no harían, es innovadora y, al mismo tiempo tan sorprendente.

[@coherentnonsense3720]

Subscribed just cuz of my love of Bjork..rare to find any reaction to any of her music.. super underrated artist..cheers from new brunswick

Do pagan poetry reaction, please 👌

[@Sagitarria]

I’m in the middle of stepping into responsibility in a family crisis where my father is being hospitalized right now. And I have never really heard Björk before I was aware of her but hadn’t really listened closely. And this song and a lot of her songs seem to be about lookingdirectly at stress and crisis and sometimes that is ecological crisis especially with her later stuff or emotional crisis or relationship crisis any kind of critical point and turning transforming it into an emergence rather than just what we think of as an emergency

[@madcec12]

Björk is a gift the world doesn’t deserve. Isobel *** Venus as a Boy Human Behavior Unison

[@labauer5314]

Oh my dog! I love Björk!

[@grantkeenan9014]

Bjork is amazing and love this version that she did with the symphony orchestra. A cover of Joga by Australian artist Georgi Kaye is also amazing. It's done with a completely different feel (Georgi plays the guitar in it) but is equally beautiful and haunting.

[@labauer5314]

OOOH! I'm gonna check that out! Thanks for the Björk info!

[@minagelina]

Bjork is a master of dynamics and rhythm

[@andybricks576]

@ JMJP It's just over 1 year after your reaction video & now this Song is more Relevant than it EVER could be!! The World is now in the Biggest "State of Emergency" bigger than anyone could possibly imagined. Byork has always been way Ahead of the Times!!!!!She can sense & see things other people just ignore on a daily basis.She's a Goddess, to me!!!!!!!

[@Brax1982]

Another one of those that everyone knows. And one of those I like. Good call on this song adding a beat.

[@jaimepe4765]

I love to discover this. It would be great to review this video clip after reviewing the song. Homogenic, Vespertine, and Vulnicura are her masterpieces.

[@enotra]

Homogenic album end-to-end is legendary. Rza from Wutang remixed a few songs too.

[@ppoppoiop6336]

Best song ever.

[@marcobenneti9664]

Its really interesting how people who are not familiar with Bjork react to her music for the first time, sometimes they find beauty and some others they really dont get it at all. Its great that you guys liked it. It would be great if you consider react to I CANT BELIEVE ITS OVER (version 2) by BENT, they make stuff many times sampling old songs by artists like Demi Roussos or Billie Holiday. They are really kind of unknown but they have done amazing music that only can be traced if you get really into a deep search on internet. If youd like to get a sense of what they are it could be helpful to listen: Different Hill, As you fall, Bewitched as i am, On the lake, Kisses, Felinis Roma and This i must remember.

[@portishphonic]

As you fall and Swollen are lovely too

[@janahcoaching]

How can U guys talk so much, listening to this. This song is like a whole movie. Björk is a treasure, and she is equally great live.

[@sounding5249]

Thank you guys, you should listen to Declare Independence please this one is amazing

[@labauer5314]

I LOVE BJÖRK! (btw, rhymes with jerk) it is SUPERLATIVE to see the birth of a new fan.

[@Eowyn_Arwen]

year 1997 can you believe it!

[@jpmp1201]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@gpeddino]

My favorite album of hers is Medúlla (2004). It's nothing but human voices, in several different forms. From choirs and beatboxing to weird effects and Inuit throat singing. Amazing stuff. "Triumph of a Heart" and "Mouth's Cradle" are great tracks.

[@lrads1]

The beats/sounds are meant to sound volcanic like Iceland...

[@EojRepus]

check out Alanis Morissette - Tapes - definitely from an underrated album Flavors of Entanglement

[@ricardofresa9080]

Bjork is ❤️

[@TheStoryofaGamer]

I Love Björk! :)

great reaction! did you ever react to more Bjork???

I'm obviously 2 months late, but if you accidentally read this: Stina Nordenstam, The man with the gun, or Little star. She's epic! A gem from Sweden.

Hey i'm new to your channel, love it so far! need more of this on youtube! My reccomendation would be Twin Shadow. Either "Too Many Colors" or "Hollow Days" OR "I Am a War Machine" by SONTALK :D

[@jpmp1201]

Thank you, we appreciate you watching and the suggestions!

[@tannonwraith4692]

You cannot describe her.

[@echoflood9737]

If you want to hear music off of the mainstream, you must listen to the band Man Man. I suggest "Life Fantastic", "End Boss", "Paul's Grotesque", or "Fangs". (A Must Listen)

[@1996MartinsMatheus]

the bast thing about this music (and björk in general) is that her musics doesn't exactly tell you where it's going, so you are having a new descovery every second

[@josemanuelnegroe9992]

You gotta react to the whole thing! Homogenic is an amazing album, really worth it.

[@CharlieFBarassi]

ICONIC BJORK

[@Char10tti3]

You should definitely react to Lionsong by Bjork the vocals and strings just sound so strange together but in a really amazing way. Crystalline is good too, and has much more electronic elements. I just found your channel so I don’t know what music exactly you’re into or if you look at videos, but Björk’s videos are amazing!

[@jpmp1201]

Thanks for watching; we'll pretty much give anything a shot.

[@einweieskaninchen413]

When you love great string arangements like this I highly recomment: Listen to Stonemiker from Björk WITH HEADPHONES!

[@Char10tti3]

I watched a short doc she made for this album after I’d listened to it. Apparently the drums and beats are based off of recordings of things like geysers and volcanos in Iceland. The documentary is really good and i was going to suggest reacting to it, then I realised it is 50 mins lol had no idea

[@jpmp1201]

Lol, sounds like a cool little docu though!

[@cristianfernandez9233]

You should react to the videos of the songs to get the full experience c:

You guys are sleeping on some of the best music ever created by humans. I recommend another pioneer in sound around the time of Bjork, look up Aphex Twin.

[@meencantatumusica]

Nice video, guys! If you liked Jóga you should also react to 'Who is it?' (also by Björk).

[@KlooKloo]

Bjork is never superhuman. She's always 100% alive and real.

[@Honeycomblife]

Vespertine is my favorite Bjork album but this one is pretty close. Jay z fave bjork song is Pagan poetry and timbaland, missy , fey & kelis have named her as inspirations

[@matthewd6306]

Can you react to Bjork HyperBallad or It's oh So Quiet Live on Leno?

[@ll_mia_ll3828]

Please do more Björk.

in terms of her amazing singing you could check 'Arisen My Senses' out.
