  • For the first release from her forthcoming new album, co-produced by Arca, Björk has teamed up with a super-troupe of contributors to create a hallucinogenic new video. Director Andrew Thomas Huang envisions a kaleidoscopic world inhabited by the singer-songwriter, who is clad in an iridescent otherworldly garment designed by Gucci’s Alessandro Michele.

    I love the fact that the latest Björk works are not "easy listening". You have to welcome it to your heart, breath, close your eyes and then feel every note flowing through your ears. It's not just a melody, it's a sentiment!

      The Björk melodies are rarely hard to swallow (like Declare Independence). Most of the times (including this one) it's very harmonious and appealing at first listening.

    I think this is one of the most visually beautiful music videos she has ever done. The colors are gorgeous. That DRESS is gorgeous. Her reference to Vulnicura with the little heart wound is cute. Bouncing back and forth, healing itself again via love etc... I can really see "Utopia" becoming some of her best work. This sounds so soothing & hypnotic. Her music is an entire soundscape.

    I lived that. It's called samadhi. When you become a gate between life and the timeless world. The light you see is the soul of the universe going back and forth from the unified self to the whole. It's only in this state that I felt and realised everything is both falling and floating at the same time.

      But does it need to? Exactly because it's not mainstream it's not going to click with everyone, and you gotta keep in mind the majority of people in the world simply don't care as much about music as we do. This is not some easy listening stuff. Still, Bjork is a pretty damn significant and highly praised name in music so it will attract many listeners. Guaranteed. But it will mostly attract listeners who actually care. Quality over quantity in a way ;) I realize this sounds pretentious as fuck but I still stand by it.

    The comments criticizing Bjork for experimenting in sound are rather annoying. She's not going to make rehashes of her previous albums.

She is an edelweiss of music, she's rare and precious. She's beautiful as always in this video. And very nice to see her play the flute again, it's been a while. Long live Björk. We all need your music in our lives.

The video only serves to confirm everything I personally got from the song and what it represents for me on a personal level. Thank goodness for an artist who remains true to who they are and how their way. So looking forward to the new album! "The Gate" will more than hold me off until then. An Instant classic for, both song-wise and video-wise.

  • @comablack8931

    I'm absolutely stunned by the creativity and uniqueness of Bjork and her team. This video is amazing and even though I didn't get to feel and experience "The Gate" at first, maybe because of it's odd musical sequences, now I fully see and acknowledge the wonderful idea expressed by this ambient music and the moves in the video. For me, it seems like Bjork and the other figure exchange parts of themselves from those gates that she so beautifully describes.
    I can honestly say that I never felt so intense association with pure creativity and unique approach with any other musician of our time. Bjork, in my mind, associates with that pure creative mind that thinks out of the box and reaches peaks all the time.
    I'm looking forward to listening to full "Utopia" and I can't wait to praise her next work that already seems amazing after listening this song!

    Man Björk is truly one of a kind, and one in a million. To me she is beyond a legend, and her vision for music is way beyond this time, like I love how she takes me to another dimension, and everytime I look at her videos its like I'm diving into all her emotions. If you are an empath then you'll understand, but what I'm trying to say is that Björk is a True Artist...and there's no other like her, because she's a rare breed.

      I agree with Maximilian. I used to really love Björks music, I still really like most of her earlier work, her latest couple of albums do have some decent tracks; but that's about it. She takes herself way to seriously - I remember reading an interview with her where she said that pop music is the modern day equivalent to folk music and that she wants to appeal to commoners and not to culture snobs, this no longer seems to be the case. She really is full of herself.

    my healed chest wound
    transformed into a gate
    where i receive love from
    where i give love from
    and i care for you, care for you
    i care for you, care for you
    care for you, care for you
    i care for you, care for you
    split into many parts
    splattered light beams into prisms
    that will reunite
    if you care for me, care for me
    if you care for me, care for me
    care for me, care for me
    and then i'll care for you, care for you
    i care for you, care for you
    i care for you, care for you
    care for you, care for you
    didn't used to be so needy
    just more broken than normal
    proud self-sufficiency
    my silhouette is oval
    It is a gate
    i can care for you, care for you, from
    i can care for you, care for you
    i care for you, care for you
    i care for you, care for you
    i care for you, care for you
    You care for me, care for me

    I love Björk. She commands extreme focus and attention, and this is further proof of her abilities. I have a hard time paying attention to lyrics; It usually takes about two years before I start to understand what any singer is saying. I enjoy the scenery she paints with music and her voice. This video is hypnotic, strange, and great. It took a long time for me to actually sit down with her last two albums but that is nothing short of a compliment as I'm sure this new album will have the same effect on myself. I don't understand this song or the video, but like any true adventure, I will prepare myself with time and wait for the right moment to embark into the unknown. Where ever she takes you is sure to be strange, haunting, and beautiful. Nothing but respect for her and her craft. I'm sure this will all work out fine.
