The singer/songwriter speaks candidly about the women she holds closest to her heart
BJÖRK
I started listening to Björk’s music when I was in high school, hearing it for the first time on a visit to my older sister’s university. Some students were playing her album Debut while they were drawing a chalk mural on a pavement. I remember it clearly: her unique voice and distinct way of looking at the world captured me then and there. I’d never heard anything like it before. Childlike and worldly all at once, Björk’s music and perspective were fresh and exhilarating. From there, I followed her every move; I guess you would say I became a devotee. Her music has carried me across some varied landscapes, but I still return to songs such as “All Is Full of Love”, “Bachelorette” and “Hunter” among many others to draw strength in times of creative or personal drought. I think Björk is the most original voice of my generation, and the risks she has taken with her music, the breadth of what she has done and her uncompromising spirit never fail to inspire me.
