Joga

There is an operatic, majestic beauty about Bjork's Homogenic. I've never heard it described as her finest work and people tend to label it 'heavy-going' as though its intensity were to its detriment.

Of course; the voice is the star. It's taken me so long to get into Bjork, to make that leap into being a fan and exploring the entire back catalogue, but now I'm here, currently at Homogenic, I can't believe I ever lived without her. The bits of accordion or slinky bass that seem to appear from nowhere are the little touches that make it brilliant. 

Oh.

And I am actually in love with her.

Well done.
