[[Björk]] is what happens when you dress a cat in Alexander McQueen and teach it how to use a laptop for music purposes. OK, not really. But kinda. She is wonderful.
'''Björk Guðmundsdóttir''' (born 21 November 1965) is a woman from [[Iceland]] who's famous for several things: her voice, her weird (but awesome) music, her strange outfits, her unique music videos, her acting in the [[Tear Jerker]] ''[[Dancer in the Dark]]'' (for which she won the ''prix d'interprétation féminine'' - the [[Cannes Film Festival]]'s Best Actress Award), her cool accent, and her habit of beating up paparazzi. From 1986 to 1992, she was in the alternative rock band called The Sugarcubes, who were the first Icelandic musical act to ''ever'' gain ''any'' sort of success outside of Iceland (mostly in the UK and American alternative radio), mostly from the endorsement of beloved Radio 1 DJ/indie tastemaker John Peel. After they broke up, Björk went on to have a more successful, arguably better solo career.
Her music cannot be [[Neoclassical Punk Zydeco Rockabilly|shoehorned into one category.]] She's not just an electronic artist; she has dabbled in many genres, including a capella, jazz, pop, [[Alternative Rock]], classical/orchestral, folk, and avant-garde.
Line 59 ⟶ 61:
* [[Fading Into the Next Song]]: "Frosti" → "Aurora", on ''Vespertine''.
* [[Genre Roulette]] - ''Debut'' and ''Post'' jump between Dance-pop, Trip-hop, Jazz and other stuff. She's the only primarily electronic artist who's most famous song is a big-band cover.
* [[Hidden Depths]] - [https://web.archive.org/web/20130522184158/http://grapevine.is/Author/ReadArticle/Letter-From-Bjork-About-Magma-Energy She has dived] [https://web.archive.org/web/20130522173259/http://grapevine.is/Author/ReadArticle/Bjork-Responds-To-Ross-Beaty-Again into Icelandic politics.]
** [[U2|Bono]] finds her intellect scary. This is a man that can intimidate world leaders with his extensive knowledge of facts and figures, and Björk ''puts him in awe''.
* [[Hot Mom]]
Line 83 ⟶ 85:
* [[Older Than They Look]] - It took her decades to stop looking like a teenager, and she still looks pretty youthful for someone in her 40s.
* [[One-Woman Song]] - "Isobel"
* [[Only One Name]]
* [[Only Sane Man|Only Sane Family Member]]: If what she says is true, her family is even weirder than her.
* [[Precision F-Strike]] - Despite not being a fucking buddhist, she can recognize enlightenment.
