Björk - Come To Me (Live NRK U 1993)

Björk Guðmundsdóttir (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈpjœr̥k ˈkvʏðmʏntsˌtouhtɪr], born 21 November 1965), known as Björk (/ˈbjɜːrk/), is an Icelandic singer, songwriter, actress, record producer, and DJ. Over her four-decade career, she has developed an eclectic musical style that draws on a wide range of influences and genres spanning electronic, pop, experimental, classical, trip hop, IDM, and avant-garde styles. She initially became known as the lead singer of the alternative rock band The Sugarcubes, whose 1987 single "Birthday" was a hit on US and UK indie stations and a favorite among music critics. Björk embarked on a solo career in 1993, coming to prominence as a solo artist with albums such as Debut (1993), Post (1995), and Homogenic (1997), while collaborating with a range of artists and exploring a variety of multimedia projects.
Several of Björk's albums have reached the top 20 on the Billboard 200 chart, the most recent being her 2015 album Vulnicura. Björk has had 30 singles reach the top 40 on pop charts around the world, with 22 top 40 hits in the UK, including the top 10 hits "It's Oh So Quiet", "Army of Me", and "Hyperballad". She is reported to have sold between 20 and 40 million records worldwide as of 2015. She has received consistent critical praise for her innovative vocal and compositional approaches, musical experimentation, and art direction; Salon described her as "the most important and forward-looking musician of her generation" and Deadspin called her "the best non-pop female vocalist of the last 30 years." She has been ranked twenty-ninth in VH1's "The 100 Greatest Women in Music", eighth in MTV's "22 Greatest Voices in Music", sixtieth in Rolling Stone's "100 Greatest Singers of All Time", and was recognized in NPR's "50 Great Voices" feature for her "celestial voice."
Björk has won five BRIT Awards, four MTV Video Music Awards, one MOJO Award, three UK Music Video Awards, 21 Icelandic Music Awards and, in 2010, the Polar Music Prize from the Royal Swedish Academy of Music in recognition of her "deeply personal music and lyrics, her precise arrangements and her unique voice." She has also been nominated for 14 Grammy Awards, one Academy Award, and two Golden Globe Awards. In 2015, Björk was included in Time Magazine's list of the 100 most influential people in the world. She won the Best Actress Award at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival for her performance in the film Dancer in the Dark. A full-scale retrospective exhibition dedicated to Björk was held at the Museum of Modern Art in 2015.

Björk is Iceland personified. Her breaths when she sings are like the cold breeze of air of the icy mountaintops of Iceland, her vocables are the echoes they make when they travel in between rocks and bounce off of cave walls, her rasps and growls are the violent avalanches and cracking of ice sheets, the softness in her singing, her visceral lyrics and visuals all beautifully encapsulate the magic, rawness and wonder of that land. She's a genius and a visionary that has revolutionized the musical world and visual culture. It's a shame how little awareness the general public seems to have of the fact that they're contemporary with a woman who will go down in history as one of the greatest artists, and just how much her work will shape the music and visual arts of the future. She truly is ahead of her time.

[@808mode]

Yet here she orchestrated this version so way beyond groovy - that she wasn't even singing when it sailed into another dimension @4:30... 😳

[@LOLmusics]

Excellent description of Bjork!

[@energymasterjo]

I love her so much I can cry

[@ricmartinez2590]

I've always loved the Sugarcubes and early Bjork. This performance is insanely beautiful. She is so unique. Decades later and I still have a crush on her, ha ha.

[@NJGunZ50cal]

I agree!!!!

[@diamonddog4708]

I still have a bit of a lady crush too and I'm a straight female. 😄 She is so wildly talented, my admiration is great

I couldn’t take my eyes off of her. What a sublime & intoxicating experience that was.

A voice unlike no others. She is a precious gift to music and art.

[@fluffydelberg]

the bassline is addicting

[@mottopanukeiku7406]

Ugh. So beautiful to hear and see that it hurts. I doubt there will be many Bjork impersonators in the future. She breaks the mold.

[@paulc4932]

Agreed. Truly one of a kind. That said, check out Valravn from Denmark. Although they are coming from a different place, the end effect is a remarkably similar vocal timbre.

[@starlightpancake]

Iamamiwhoami is up there with Bjork

[@martinbijkerk9998]

Never realized she is a real exact pitcher. flawless and always spot on

[@yeahwhatever3576]

Whoa! I'm used to the quirky Bjork, but she was just oozing sexuality at the start of this clip. Never really seen her like that before.

[@kristensantos22]

My thoughts exactly. She should have won sexiest woman of the year with this performance 😅

[@claudiasemini1067]

That was the most amazing performance. Quest'elegia, delicata e intensa, rappresenta una promessa di sostegno e amore incodizionati. Björk è sempre stata bravissima a comunicare all'ascoltatore un'indicibile emozione e, in tal senso, COME TO ME è impagabile nel dare voce ad una devozione pura e onnicomprensiva, a una passione capace di travolgere ogni barriera.

[@vanessapacheco4570]

Whatever you said, I agree. Bjork is the queen 👸🏻
