Show Notes
For many fans, Björk Orkestral was a Greatest Hits tour 2.0
Bjork played fan favorites from all of her albums. And while some of us are still bummed she didn’t sing “All is Full of Love” or “Pneumonia,” she did deliver some spectacular performances and arrangements.
These shows proved that Bjork is back… and still killing it.
Tony (from the Instagram page @bjork.live) and I will recap each Björk Orkestral show. We’ll share our general impressions and surprises, talk about how these versions compare to past tours, and we’ll discuss what these shows tell us about Björk's career.

Remixes are an integral part of Björk's discography. Think about it: she has multiple remix albums — including Telegram (which remixes Post), Voltaic: The Volta Mixes, and Bastards (which remixes Biophilia).
In 2022 Björk released her 10th studio album. Considering how many artists have stopped after five or fewer, it’s a big accomplishment. But it’s even more significant when you consider how experimental Björk's records have been, especially after Homogenic.
En una entrevista en 2016 con Another Magazine, Bjork dijo: “...alguien hizo una encuesta online sobre dónde estaban mis fans... ¡y aparentemente mi típico fan es un chico gay mexicano de 20 años! ¡Me sentí muy orgullosa!”
In a 2016 interview with Another Magazine Björk said: “...some guy did an online survey of where my fans were… and apparently my typical fan is a 20-year-old Mexican gay guy! I was really proud!”
Bjork's shrieks, rasps, and growls… are what make her voice her own. But they also have consequences on her long-term vocal health.
