Björk: The CORNUCOPIA Interview

US Her first on-camera interview in 10 years      27/01/25

Cornucopia, was Björk's most recent tour, which featured a cave; a small chamber on stage designed to reproduce the acoustics of singing alone on a rural walk. The tour was filled with intricate and fine-tuned details, which spanned five years and spawned two albums: Utopia and Fossora. Here she is in conversation with Zane Lowe for Apple Music about the decade long process behind it. You can watch a full performance here:


There's also an extensive article and interview on the Guardian, an excerpt of which is here:

When Björk looks at mainstream pop today, I wonder if she sees anyone and recognises any sense of herself in the 1990s, when she was a mainstream pop star, albeit not entirely intentionally? "I have a blind spot on myself, thank God. Most people can't see themselves, what they are, in the context of the world. So it's really hard for me to compare to other people. I'll see some old photograph of myself and will be like, 'Oh, wow!' I'm as surprised as anyone else. I know what it feels like from the inside out, not outside in, if that makes any sense?"
