Noted for her distinct three-octave vocal range and eccentric persona, she has developed an eclectic musical style over her four-decade career that has drawn on electronic, pop, experimental, trip hop, jazz, classical, and avant-garde music.
Born and raised in Reykjavík, Björk began her music career at the age of 11 and gained international recognition as the lead singer of the alternative rock band the Sugarcubes, by the age of 21. After the Sugarcubes disbanded in 1992, Björk began a solo career. She came to prominence with albums such as Debut (1993), Post (1995), and Homogenic (1997), collaborating with a range of artists and exploring a variety of multimedia projects. Her other albums include Vespertine (2001), Medúlla (2004), Volta (2007), Biophilia (2011), Vulnicura (2015), Utopia (2017) and Fossora (2022).
Several of Björk's albums have reached the top 20 on the US Billboard 200 chart. As of 2015, she had sold more than 20 million records worldwide. Thirty-one of her singles have reached the top 40 on pop charts around the world, with 22 top-40 hits in the UK, including the top-10 singles "It's Oh So Quiet", "Army of Me", and "Hyperballad" and the top-20 singles "Play Dead", "Big Time Sensuality", and "Violently Happy". Her accolades and awards include the Order of the Falcon, five BRIT Awards, and 16 Grammy nominations. In 2015, Time named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world. Rolling Stone named her the 60th greatest singer and the 81st greatest songwriter.
Björk starred in the 2000 Lars von Trier film Dancer in the Dark, for which she won the Best Actress Award at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival, and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song for "I've Seen It All". Biophilia was marketed as an interactive app album with its own education program. Björk has also been an advocate for environmental causes in Iceland. A retrospective exhibition dedicated to Björk was held at the New York Museum of Modern Art in 2015.

awesome song is my favorite from this album (DR9) , i don´t understand why so many people call this album the worst of bjork when is a masterpiece !
Massimiliano Praticelli
I like DR9 a lot, but it's not my favourite from Björk, a few tracks feel a bit sketchy to me honestly, compared to her actual solo works of the time. Experimentalism and accessibility are slightly better balanced in her own albums.

it's kinda why I didn't love Biophilia all that much - I felt like a lot of music there she'd already explored on Drawing Restraint.
Daniel Medina
yes ! Ambergis March is awesome as well, this is maybe her most experimental album. "Cristallyne" and "Virus" from Biophilia remind me "Ambergris March" a bit and "Cetatea" as well.
Canaan
The first song though, Gratitude! I love that one
Canaan
@Fans de la Oca I guess it's because it's technically not one of her actual albums, it's a soundtrack/score for 'Drawing Restraint' which she did with Matthew Barney
Jay Mechem
She is so sonically aware, I love this!!
Jim Khamphouy
Just love everything about this! Mark Bell was one of her greatest collaborations. And now she gets to work with The Haxan Cloa, Bjork is amazing. Love this woman
Circolombisque
My favorite song from this album.
Akara
This is where Vertebrae by Vertebrae came from!
