The Therapy of a Pop Princess

It's been years and years since rock music was still important and had great relevance. Artists were not pop bunnies who sang with computer voices, but stars with guitars, poets, explainers of the world.

Today we're taking Björk's first album with the beautiful name "Debut" from the record cabinet...

With her voice, Björk has transported the fans of the blessed Sugarcubes to distant galaxies. As a soloist, she is now well on her way to becoming the pop princess of the 90s.

After the Sugarcubes, a comparatively successful band from Iceland, broke up, Björk and her son Sindri moved to London. There, influenced by numerous house parties and the big street beat, she recorded a top-class record with her “debut”. on.

Simply because this album brings together what purists definitely don't want to come together. As a producer, Nellee Hooper from Soul II Soul played a decisive role in ensuring that popular sounds were given corners and edges through jazz and avant-garde tones, and that Nordland melodies and house grooves came together organically. The arrangements for harp and strings are also superb.

The title “Debut” is meant more metaphorically than factually correct: In 1977, Björk released her official debut under her own name, on which she covered English pop songs in Icelandic under the guidance of her stepfather Sævar. She was eleven years old at the time.

But here you achieve a stroke of genius with the single "Human Behavior", which opens your music towards electronica and trip-hop - the music that rang out at night from the clubs in your new adopted home of London. “Others go to the psychiatrist,” says Björk. "I think more of writing songs to solve problems."

For the then 26-year-old, "Human Behavior" is one such case. "A song that talks about how everything can become too much for you - children, work, even the fish seller next door." It still works like therapy today. https: //youtu.be/p0mRIhK9seg?si=nnQh4Riyq3JTdqcV
