i look forward to this even more now!

― The Lex (The Lex), Sunday, 22 October 2006 20:38 (nineteen years ago)

she rocks. who are the guys?

― jed_ (jed), Sunday, 22 October 2006 20:39 (nineteen years ago)

I think that's Timbaland directly to her left.

is that felix da housekatt on the right?

― jed_ (jed), Sunday, 22 October 2006 20:41 (nineteen years ago)

YES INDEED.

― The Brainwasher (Twilight), Sunday, 22 October 2006 20:42 (nineteen years ago)

i don't think bjork needs any crazy from felix, but cool. who else is in the pic?

― jed_ (jed), Sunday, 22 October 2006 20:45 (nineteen years ago)

Nellee Hooper, Jimmy Iovine, Diddy and some other people.

― The Brainwasher (Twilight), Sunday, 22 October 2006 20:53 (nineteen years ago)

is that not people she was more likely to be working with (or did work with) a few albums back? how recent is the pic?

― jed_ (jed), Sunday, 22 October 2006 20:55 (nineteen years ago)

It's brand new!

She worked with Nellee on both Debut and Post.

― The Brainwasher (Twilight), Sunday, 22 October 2006 20:57 (nineteen years ago)

it's OLD. it's an old pic, though she has apperantly been working with Timabaland. He describes the new album as hip-hop, but kinda crazy.. you'd need to hear it yourself to decide (i.e. could be anything). Still an anticipation thread is good if it means I have a good excuse to avoid ILM for a few months.

where's pharell and chad?

― kevin says relax (daddy warbuxx), Monday, 23 October 2006 00:11 (nineteen years ago)

Any news on Konono no. 1's potential involvement?

― zach mercer (suizen), Monday, 23 October 2006 10:52 (nineteen years ago)

it'll probably sound 'like weather'

― ;_; (blueski), Monday, 23 October 2006 10:58 (nineteen years ago)

Hip-hop album from Björk doesn't really sound that interesting at all. A collab with Felix da Housecat might actually be cool.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 23 October 2006 11:09 (nineteen years ago)

i'd actually like to see her ditch the beats and use guitars and real percussive stuff. i love all her records, but think her voice would be really well suited to acoustic music for a change. sounded great with an orchestra

― Charlie Howard (the sphinx), Monday, 23 October 2006 11:15 (nineteen years ago)

no guitars.

bjork r&b album would be...interesting. it could also be great!

― The Lex (The Lex), Monday, 23 October 2006 11:19 (nineteen years ago)

haha @ no guitars

― Charlie Howard (the sphinx), Monday, 23 October 2006 11:23 (nineteen years ago)

You guys should get her jazz album, it's fantatic.

― Young Fresh Danny D (Dan Perry), Monday, 23 October 2006 11:25 (nineteen years ago)

YES - 'bella símamær'! and the title track! it's lots of fun.

― The Lex (The Lex), Monday, 23 October 2006 11:28 (nineteen years ago)

Diddy got the butt, haha.

― got yourself a fish biscuit! (nickalicious), Monday, 23 October 2006 12:07 (nineteen years ago)

anything she does is interesting, hip hop or whatever else. i guess if there's anyone who could get me to like hip hop, it would be her. when the hell does it come out?

― Ramzi Awn (rra123), Monday, 23 October 2006 12:41 (nineteen years ago)

"Í Dansi Með Þér" is my favorite from the jazz record, it's great!

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Monday, 23 October 2006 15:06 (nineteen years ago)

are you talking about gling glo?

― jed_ (jed), Monday, 23 October 2006 15:09 (nineteen years ago)

yes!

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Monday, 23 October 2006 19:42 (nineteen years ago)

Bjork did a crazy album 20 years ago. it was called The Eye.

― gwynywdd dwnyt fyrwr byychydd gww (donut), Monday, 23 October 2006 19:59 (nineteen years ago)

I know it's not actually who they are, but I like to pretend in my head that those white guys are Lars Ulrich and Perry Farrell.

"it's OLD. it's an old pic, though she has apperantly been working with Timabaland"

how old?

― Lovelace (Lovelace), Monday, 23 October 2006 20:26 (nineteen years ago)

ah... from about March (this year) apparently, so not that old after all! whoops.

― Moderation Request Line (fandango), Monday, 23 October 2006 20:37 (nineteen years ago)

i doubt it will be a straightforward hip hop or R&B album - its bjork after all. shell just have to make sure she doesnt become a puppet for all these super producers.

― tigertiger (tigertiger), Monday, 23 October 2006 21:21 (nineteen years ago)

so is she working with puffy, timbaland, felix and nellee...or just timbaland? can anyone link us to a articles about this new album? I want to know more!

― Lovelace (Lovelace), Monday, 23 October 2006 23:25 (nineteen years ago)

HI DERE I AM BJORK GUDMUNDSDOTTIR I CAME HERE FOR ADVICE ABOUT MY CAREER, NOW I KNOW WHAT TO DO AND NOT DO, THANK YOUS!

― Björk Björk Björk (Haikunym), Tuesday, 24 October 2006 01:19 (nineteen years ago)

congrats on the birth of healthy baby throw pillow

― oops (Oops), Tuesday, 24 October 2006 03:01 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, Gling-Gló is great, I wish she'd do another straightforward jazz LP, 'cause her voice really suits that.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Tuesday, 24 October 2006 05:04 (nineteen years ago)

wasn't she about 16 when she did that?

― Jena (JenaP), Tuesday, 24 October 2006 05:49 (nineteen years ago)

She was in Tappi Tikkarrass (which is Icelandic for "cork the bitch's ass") when she was 16... maybe at the same time as Gling-Glo? Tappi Tikkarrass was her first band.. they sounded like a more mopey gothy B-52s... KUKL were much much better.

I'm not really looking forward to Bjork's new album, Sit Down Woman You're A Bloody Tragedy.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Tuesday, 24 October 2006 06:21 (nineteen years ago)

Bjork working with the cream of production pop-hip hop... could be a win/win situation I think, providing the producers are on form.

― gekoppel (Gekoppel), Tuesday, 24 October 2006 19:07 (nineteen years ago)

Glingglo was towards the end of the Sugs.

Bjork & Sebastian?

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 24 October 2006 19:31 (nineteen years ago)

Wow, I'd be thrilled if she did something a bit more rhyhthmic and pop again.

― Matthew Perpetua! (Matthew Perpetua!), Tuesday, 24 October 2006 20:15 (nineteen years ago)

Timbaland really is the stalwart Andy Newmark and Willie Weeks de nos jours. There are loads more hasbeen pop stars for him to bale out!

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 25 October 2006 08:00 (nineteen years ago)

I'd be surprised (and a little worried) if all this had going for it was it being "the next Timbaland + ??" record. Might be worth waiting for some more news crumbs before leaping to conclusions.

― Moderation Request Line (fandango), Wednesday, 25 October 2006 09:16 (nineteen years ago)

She was always crazy, and not in a good way.

two months pass...

From bjork's website:

It has not been snowing at all here, but today we are graced with snow. It is a few days after the hidden people and elves move home, if they have to. We are in Iceland. I arrived after a short absence of mind and body back into the HQ of the MWC. I got the word to get back on the case and gather some knowledge, as I of course, am truly the wise one.

Being the one and only I got sent new songs from Björk. These songs are to be on the new album she has been working on for the past months. She has been all around the world to record, working with numerous people from truly different background. I have been left with many thoughts after listening to these tracks, the first impression is that I want to hear more, as I did not get everything shortlisted for the record. It made me excited.

The only thing I have heard prior of the making of this new record was a collaboration with Timbaland was being penned in. They met for a couple of sessions and laid down some beats for two tracks, "then I took these tracks and worked on them further", says Björk. This is true, as I hear that she has taken them to a another level.

We speak about the many collaborators on this record and the list is very interesting as Antony Hegerty duets on two tracks. Drummer Chris Corsano jumps into at least the 2 songs. New sounds and instrumentation are provided by Toumani Diabate who plays the Kora and Konono nr.1 with electric thumb pianos. More percussive delights come from Brian Chippendale from Lightning Bolt Great artists being drafted into the fold!

This list is very impressive and intriguing and from this first batch of song create a very unique sound and emotion. Nothing sounds really familiar about this experience, apart from the name of Mark Bell, him I know. And Sjón, turns to form to deliver one lyric, his 5th lyric since they started work together. This record is a Björk production par excellence. No stone left unturned to seek out the perfect pitch.

And more work is being done in the next few weeks on the new record. It has not got a name. The record is scheduled for late spring release. Some of us have wished to see Björk live in concert.

Well. Björk will be going on the road and giving us long wanted concert recitals. Yes gigging again. I get to see who is the band, I'll be damned, I forgot. It is being finalised right now! From what I remember: We are in for a treat. I am promised to be there. Bien sur. Of-course. Að sjálfsögðu. More soon."
