Bjork - Joga *REACTION*

[@robertwright7937]

They always said Bjork was ahead of her time. If you listen, at about 3.53, she accidentally invented dubstep. Glad you like her, that voice is incredible.😁

[@m.couronne]

I literally got chills when that bassline first drops in the second chorus and you were vibing hard to it. In that moment the bassline + beats + strings + her voice come together so beautifully

[@j.k.1963]

I think her music is just so outragiously beautiful and sincere.

[@InAVeeCoop]

yes!!! I agree with you

[@mimobase]

The lyric from this song "I feel emotional landscapes they puzzle me" are written on the walls as you arrive at the main terminal at Reykjavik airport in Iceland. Once you start to explore Iceland, you see how much that line resonates with both the landscape you see and how it makes you feel.

[@Grithron2]

ICYDK: Joga was the nickname of a friend of hers (future politician Johanna Johannsdottir) Producers: Bjork and Mark Bell Musical detail: 1. The lyric is adapted from a Sjon poem. Originally it had a third verse (which she sings in her 1997 episode of The South Bank Show). 2. Most of the orchestrating on the album was by Eumir Deodato - but "orchestrating" is the key word: the only song he claimed start-to-finish arranging credit for was Hunter. So, string charts like this one are Bjork ideas which would only have needed fine-tuning. Twenty-three years later those string-section opening bars are even more shiver-inducing, right!

[@sabby559]

Bjork produces everything. She’ll bring on another to collab on certain songs, but she has her hand in EVERYTHING and is militant how she wants it done lol

[@nomi.hagen.]

Also that's the album cover "Homogenic" from 1997

[@InAVeeCoop]

Got it...! I wasn't sure if that was the album name or not.

[@fleirbxg976]

i'm watching a lot of your videos one after the other and i really can't stop, you really have a beautiful "energy" i dont know how to explain, you REALLY seem to love and feel the music you're willing to react to... i'm seriously obsessed with your channel, hope your doing great ❤️ if you ever read this comment ❤️❤️ ps: probably going to comment this on a newer video love from Brazil 💚💛 sorry if i mess a little with my english speaking

[@InAVeeCoop]

thank you. hope to see you as a patreon member someday :)

[@jons.105]

Album produced by Björk with Mark Bell, Guy Sigsworth, Howie B and Markus Dravs.

[@nomi.hagen.]

Right, also if we check out the Southbank documentary of Björk from 97, we can see her giving directions to the string musicians.

[@InAVeeCoop]

Dope!

[@InAVeeCoop]

I would love to see that

You are charming, so smart and have Excellent taste. Thank you fir a quality reaction.

[@rickyjones2346]

Timeless song just hits every fibre emotionally

[@Char10tti3]

Joga is so interesting, there's a documentary about this album and b asically she tried to make this a mix of Icelandic traditional music and instruments. The music and video tried to make "emotional landscapes" like the lyrics said. Her vocal style is more traditional Icelandic talking style singing and the drum sounds are based on volcano and tectonic plate sounds. Her newest album Utopia did this more with an Icelandic flute group she used to be part of and they even did old songs in the style to match live tours.

[@InAVeeCoop]

wow. thank you for the insight

[@traypaquette7887]

Glad you love this as much as I do. Love the feels

[@InAVeeCoop]

Thank you!!!

[@simplyscottish7656]

Bjork - you just got yourself a new subbie from Glasgow Scotland :)

[@InAVeeCoop]

thank you Scotland...!

[@jkleena]

❤❤ I love your reactions to a beautiful and strange song

[@Char10tti3]

It's great when your head matches up with the Bjork buns haha

[@InAVeeCoop]

i didn't even realize lol

[@jons.105]

Not that long ago--for me, anyway! LOL. "Joga" was the first single off her album Homogenic from 1997. A big hit in her native Iceland, and in other parts of the globe, but the US was slow to get on-board. The album peaked at #28 on Billboard. I remember one video from this album, the song "Bachelorette", which blew my mind.

[@InAVeeCoop]

Wow...! I was only 6 at the time lol

[@bricktop2603]

The official music video is very intresting too.Birdview nature + special effects.Mach very well with the song.

[@karenjcosme]

There was a documentary I watched (so long ago) and it covered how she creates songs, what inspires her. At that time she was synthesizing whale sounds, under ocean sounds. ETA: Yes, it showed the orchestra/symphony in the studio. I was hooked.

[@TheFadingMan]

My favorite Bjorne song is hyperballad

[@IshwaraYogaNET]

Remember taking this album home ( yes those ancient days ) . Any Bjork album is fascinating

[@InAVeeCoop]

really...! Wish I would have known about her sooner

[@giosworld9229]

Bjork is such a unique artist. She has a very powerful and beautiful voice. You should definitely listen to the song Bachelorette. :)

I told you she was Missy Elliott friend. Fun fact, they sampled this song on the "I hit them with the hee" music video.

Hi Vanesha, I challenge you to react to Bjork's Big Time Sensuality (fluke mix). It's just amazing!

[@Char10tti3]

I think the remix is the music video version too?

[@j.k.1963]

@@Char10tti3 yes it is. And it is a great video too!

[@soundofominous4646]

"All is full of love" You unintentionally name checked a Björk song and from the same album no less. Lol

[@Char10tti3]

You should look at Play Dead if you haven't, seems much more modern than some of her stuff and more "normal" if that's even the word haha. Unravel is really interesting too and her newer song The Gate and Arisen My Senses too.

[@InAVeeCoop]

I will check it out

[@mynameismynameis666]

yeah, it was uploaded 7 years ago, but it was released in like 1997. the album is older than you probably... also, learn from björk. it is beautiful to be emotional, weird, other...

[@janpijon]

Love how recent this is lmao Anyways I think you should listen to more björk, some songs I reccomend are Venus as a boy, hidden place, unison, and llionsong
