This March, The Museum of Modern Art http://www.moma.org/ presents a retrospective of the multifaceted work of composer, musician, and singer Björk. The exhibition draws from more than 20 years of the artist’s daring and innovative projects and her eight full-length albums to chronicle her career through sound, film, visuals, instruments, objects, and costumes. I love this artist and SUPER Hip Chick Alert – ever since she was in the Sugar Cubes –this fab lady was born in Reykjavík, Iceland and now lives in Brooklyn, New York .She plays piano, keyboards, flute, harp, clarinet and harmonica- my ears lit up with her first hit with her first hit Birthday with The Sugarcubes, in 1987 was a hit on US and UK indie stations- since then Björk has developed an eclectic musical style that incorporates aspects of dance, rock, trip hop, jazz, electronic, classical, experimental and avant-garde music. Music critics have consistently championed Björk’s body of work, praising her innovative approach to singing and composition, her pioneering use of electronic beats, her groundbreaking music videos, and, above all, her singular voice, describing her as “the most important and forward-looking musician of her generation and “the best non-pop female vocalist of the last 30 years- as for me I LOVE HER and forgive her for her Swan dress that she featured at the Oscars a few years back – so go check out this retrospective HIP CATS – SEE YOU THERE!
