Icelandic experimental singer/songwriter Björk is known for her eccentricity, from her elastic sound and original lyrics to her whimsical getup. Starting out in the Eighties with alternative rock band, the Sugarcubes, she went solo in 1993 and has only seen more positive feedback since. She’s had more than 30 singles in the Top 40, been nominated for 13 Grammys and was chosen as one of Rolling Stone’s Top 100 singers of all time. This month, she’ll present songs from her newest album, Vulnicura, released earlier this year. The album, which was leaked online before its release, is an emotional reflection on love and heartbreak, following her breakup with her former partner, artist Matthew Barney. In stark contrast with her previous more abstract, conceptual albums, Vulnicura has been widely acclaimed by critics so far, and with Bjöork’s usual flare on stage, it’ll surely be a show to remember.
