Bjork-Homogenic [1997]

Homogenic is Bjork's 4th album. It was recorded in 1997, amidst the suicide of her stalker, Ricardo Lopez. She moved to Spain to hide from the media and record this incredible album. Sounds like nothing you've ever heard before, from soft melodies to power orchestra. One of my favorite voices of all-time and I encourage anyone that enjoys versatile singers to listen to this pop-orchestra-electronic classic. It is a highly praised album, being called " one of the greatest electronic albums of all-time." Here are videos of two stand out songs on this album.

Oh nice! Bjork isn't something I expected coming up in one of your threads. Good stuff, that.

Why are you surprised to see me post a thread on Bjork?

Most of your threads tend to be about pop music from the 80s and 90s, and as far as I know (though I could be wrong of course) Bjork has never been considered "pop".

She isn't pop but I couldn't really describe her as electronic either because this album has too much orchestra in there but she's not orchestra either. In the description I put pop-orchestra-electronic as it had a touch of everything. That's what made it such as classic album, going multi-platinum along the way. It's weird that you label my threads as pop and I can't remember the last pop thread I posted, {ok, the Madonna-Justify my Love} but I usually consider myself wayyyy off mainstream.

Album rules. Also, I thought she moved back to Iceland after her stalker killed himself?
