So I finally gotten around to buying Bjork’s newest album, “Vulnicura”. The album was originally supposed to be released later this Spring but due to the album leak, it got released early.
I’ve been a fan of her music for years. Been a fan of hers ever since her “Debut” album came out in 1993. I remember when MTV first aired the “Human Behavior” video that’s when I fell in love with her and have loved her ever since. I used to have that album “Debut” on CD when I was young but don’t know what happened to it. I probably gotten rid of it but I’ll buy that album again from Itunes soon.
Anyway back to her new album, “Vulnicura”, this is a concept album. A collection of songs that tells real-life stories about her divorce with her ex-husband, Matthew Barney. I guess you can say this is an autobiographical album for her and this is a really personal album. It’s an album about heartbreak. The songs on this album are very sad and powerful. If you listen to this record better get yourself a box of tissues ’cause this album could really do it to you. This album almost brought tears to my eyes as well. You can really feel the sadness of Bjork’s heartbreak ’cause that’s how the songs felt.
In her divorce, she felt destroyed and she probably have been in an emotional wreck for a long while. She wanted to show all that in her songs. You can hear the sadness in her singing. That’s what I love about artists. They write whatever feeling they have inside of them. Whenever they are angry, happy and sad… they get it all out of their system in song. That’s what Bjork did. If you listen to the two songs below, you would see what I mean.
I’ve been a fan of hers for years and I heard most of her albums. I think this is her best album in her career, it really blew my fucking mind. No wonder it got leaked early. Usually when albums get leaked early, it’s gotta be that damn good. I’m happy I got this album and I’m gonna be listening to it a lot, I think. You should give it a listen yourself.
