Possibly Maybe> Published by Universal Music/Warner Chappell Music/19 Music/BMG Music Publishing Ltd. ℗ 1996 Wellhart Ltd/One Little Indian Ltd. The 1995 album Post, known for its eclecticism, [175] is considered to be the "quintessential Björk" release, due to its protean form – more than any of her albums – and its "wide emotional palette". [176] The entirety of the album was written after Björk's move to England, and intended to reflect the faster pace of her new urban life. [177] The Guardian wrote that " Post tapped into the vortex of multicultural energy that was mid-90s London, where she had relocated and where strange hybrids such as jungle and trip-hop were bubbling." [178] Post built on the dance-pop blueprint of Debut, but pushed its production and beats to the fore, with influences from all over the world. [179] While the "distant echoes" of IDM and trip-hop were present in Debut, Post is characterised by Björk's fuller incorporation of these styles. [169] Referred to as a " genre roulette" by the San Francisco Chronicle, [180] it touches on various musical styles, including industrial music, [181] big-band jazz, trip-hop, chillout, [181] and experimental music. [182] The balance between synthetic and organic elements in the album – generated through the combination of electronic and "real" instruments – is a recurring characteristic in Björk's output. [183] [184] Mark Bell contributed to much of Björk's material, including his co-production of Homogenic, until his death in 2014.

If the new song represents direct environmental action, Björk’s ongoing Cornucopia tour provides much wider context. The tour is the live version of her last-but-one album Utopia, which is set in a science-fiction future: “Not postapocalyptic,” she says “but post-optimistic.” It features a monologue by Björk’s friend Greta Thunberg, “which clashes with the animation fantasy elements of it”. a b "Bjork | full Official Chart History". www.officialcharts.com.

Archived from the original on 31 August 2018 . Retrieved 14 March 2019.Björk was born on 21 November 1965 in Reykjavík,. [12] She was raised by her mother, activist Hildur Rúna Hauksdóttir (7 October 1946– 25 October 2018 [13]), who protested against the development of Iceland's Kárahnjúkar Hydropower Plant, [14] after having divorced from her father, Guðmundur Gunnarsson, a union leader and electrician, after Björk was born. She and her mother moved to a commune. [15] [16] Her stepfather is Sævar Árnason, a former guitarist in the band Pops. [16] At six, Björk enrolled at Reykjavík school Barnamúsíkskóli, where she studied classical piano and flute. [12] After a school recital in which Björk sang Tina Charles's 1976 hit " I Love to Love", her teachers sent a recording of her singing the song to the RÚV radio station, which at that time was Iceland's only radio station. The recording was broadcast nationally and, after hearing it, a representative of the Fálkinn record label offered Björk a recording contract. Her début, Björk, was recorded when she was 11 years old and was released in Iceland in December 1977. [17] In 1998, Björk established her own short-lived record label, Ear Records, which operated under the One Little Indian Records umbrella. Her only signee that received a release was her longtime friend Magga Stína, who recorded her debut solo album under the production of Björk's longtime collaborator Graham Massey (of the British electronica act 808 State). The album was simply titled An Album and featured just one single release, "Naturally". In 1998, Björk invited Magga to perform as her support act on the Homogenic Tour, and in 2004 Magga contributed to the production of Medúlla. Magga still performs and records in Iceland. In 2001, Björk became aware of Canadian Inuit throat singer Tanya Tagaq and invited her to perform on several dates of Björk's Vespertine World Tour as a special guest. In 2004, Tagaq was invited to collaborate on the a cappella album Medúlla, in which the duet "Ancestors" was recorded. "Ancestors" was later featured on Tagaq's first solo album, Sinaa, in 2005.
