Show Notes
While other girls worshipped heart-throbs like David Cassidy or Scott Baio, Björk idolized scientists like Albert Einstein and David Attenborough.
Here I'll explore the scientific mind of Björk by taking a deeper dive into Biophilia. I’ll discuss the documentary she made about it with Attenborough. And I’ll share how that documentary changed my perspective on Biophilia.
Because I was wrong. Very wrong.

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.
