Björk
It’s pretty much inconceivable at this point that a new move by Björk would fail to excite, and how many pop stars can you say that about? She’s flailed and floated so far between projects that she’s recalibrated what it means to have a sense of aesthetic purpose. 2004’s Medulla was a largely a capella exercise that included backing tracks made with an Icelandic choir, a human beatboxer, and, of course, Björk herself. Volta, released in 2007, called on Timbaland, Antony, the drummer dude from Lightning Bolt, and a brass band. She followed it up this year with the live album Voltaic.
