BJÖRK - DEBUT ALBUM REACTION 

💥TIME STAMPS💥 Human Behavior - 01:50 Crying - 03:58 Venus as a Boy - 06:46 There’s More to Life than This - 08:50 Like Someone in Love -10:45 Big Time Sensuality - 13:06 One Day - 14:58 Aeroplane - 17:06 Come to Me - 19:06 Violently Happy - 21:20 Anchor Song - 23:33

Anchor Song is such a power move, like she really ended this 90s club/trip-hop album with a chamber piece for Sax Quartet and voice

That album came out in 1993!!!!! Björk was so ahead of her time! She’s incredible. I had a pleasure seeing her Vespertine tour in NYC in 2001 and she was phenomenal

BJÖRK herself said it rhymes with "jerk" so you're all good to go with Bjerk 😘

YAYY YAY YAY, produced by her and nellee hooper, this album is often credited for bringing electronic music and house music into the mainstream (you can hear in the following years how this influenced music after, of course always ahead of her time) and as one of the best 90s albums and debut albums, really excited to see how u react to this, this isn’t her first album also, but is her first as solo artist (not including björk 1977) edit: on venus reaction and it’s kind of emotional to see people hear this song, it’s the first song of hers I ever heard as a kid and she changed my life, i also love what you’re saying about it being a time capsule, i agree, she was going to lots of uk underground clubs and living in the uk at this time

You should watch her movie Dancer in the Dark. It is a masterpiece. Do it in private...no one cries pretty during this movie.

The Milk Bar was a club in the 90's in London (near Soho Square) where they would play underground house music. Sadly the club was demolished, otherwise now there would be a blue plaque talking about how she recorded this song in the toilets

A late listener, but a later re-release included the single Play Dead which for me at the time was her favourite song.

Debut is a compiled number of songs from her past till that moment, her 30's. Also, on the cover there's a huge visual comparison with the fisrt Britney album. It is her first solo project and it was soooo innovator for the 90's that it is recognized as top 10 of the 1000 albums that changed music and deserves to be listened. (four of her albums are in this list). Thanks for listening to B, again. It is worth it.

Debut, Post and Homogenic, definitely the Holy Trinity of Björk imo. I love those three albums from beginning to end.

OMG YASSS !!! can’t wait for you to keep it with these Björk’s series. I hope you prepare yourself, because the next one is Medulla, probably the weirdest album ever, and just after that one, her discography gets crazier than EVER 😍

love watching these reactions, makes me want to revisit albums, can't wait for her next album next year!

im so glad you loved come to me and violently happy (my most faves) come to me reminds me of the feeling of love, euphoria, protection, safety, caring and emotional vulnerability, and violently happy brings back memories of being drunk with friends doing wild stuff to distract myself over someone im to in love with, would also highly recommend the bonus track play dead, lyrically speaks on depression and emotional pain, if it was in the standard version it would be top faves on debut for me, her vocals on that song is fucking insane in the best way

Can't wait for you to react to Medúlla!

You can hear from the mix of Human Behaviour on the album that Modern Things on Post comes from these sessions. There's More To Life Than this was partly recorded live in a coffee shop, that's the effect you hear, her going into the toilets to isolate part of her vocals

“Like Someone In Love” has such a special place in my heart 🥺💛

Nellee Hooper is the producer also of "Sanctuary" and "Bedtime Story" from Madonna 's "Bedtime Stories" album.

Hey x,Loved the reaction video as Always 🥰

Great vid man! You only missed the last song, 'play dead' is actually the last song on debut but it was CD only I believe. In my opinion, its Bjork's best song & my fave of all time. First time I heard it I could'nt genuinly enjoy different songs for a full week!

So many of your reactions are to my favorite albums and im living for it

My wishlist has always had a twenty minute ambient mind fuck of ONE DAY be made

I WAS WAITING FOR THIS ONE OMGGGG !!!

I can't wait for you to get to Volta (love that album) but a warning: Medula is next and it's fab, but you need to know that there are NO instruments! It's vocals (and vocal noises as instruments) only. It's amazing and weird and wonderful - so Bjork lol

Reaction videos are such a word concept. Feeds into fans wanting to have someone else listen to their favourite artist and like it.

can't wait for your reaction to Medúlla or Volta

12:20 thats Jim Henson lmaoo 😭 The next albums all have distinctive instrumentation that I think is good to know before going in, specially with Medùlla: -Medùlla: 99% only using the human voice in it's full potential (and beyond) -Volta: Brass and tribal beats -Biophilia: Choir, pipe organ, and a bunch of newly invented instruments. -Vulnicura: 15 piece string ensemble and beats by Arca, similar to Homogenic but heavier on strings and lighter on beats -Utopia: Flutes, full collab with Arca.

Since you love Come To Me so much, may I suggest you listen to Robert Miles' debut album DREAMLAND? It had that piano padding that he made popular then. He died recently, but that album defined electronic music along with all of FAITHLESS' work.

i have seen her live last month with her orkestral shows in reykjavík. it was amazing!

She did a set with MTV Unplugged where the songs were very similar to how Someone In Love was produced.

her debut was long long time ago with her self titled folk album, released when she was eleven. after this she was member of different punk bands, "rokk í reykjavík"-documentary be reccomended at this point. after that she was member of the sugar cubes and gained international success. she recorded a jazz album, gling-gló. so, when debut released she was already for years on stage. and still, on most of her concerts, she plays songs from debut, always dressed into the current sound. "come to me" is a good example for it. her songs never get old or boring. most recently her work got more complex, more complicated, thats why i like her older records a bit more because everything comes so easy.

Come to Me is one of my favorite björk songs ever imo. Her Vulnicura Live version of Come to Me is even better somehow lol

There's a live version of Come To Me from her Vulnicura tour and IT'S INSANE you need to give it a listen!

Big Time Sensuality is my favorite Debut track and one of my favorite Björk songs, UGH SO GOOD

Before moving chronologically to Medulla, dun miss ‘Selmasongs’ which was released between Homogenic n Vespertine. It only got 7 songs, but the quality is on par with Homogenic or Vespertine, n I think u ll be the first one to react to Selmasongs if u do that. Or better, u should also react to the movie Dancer in the Dark (Selmasongs is the soundtrack to it), only one RU-vidr had reacted to it if I’m correct. Bjork’s performance in it is the most impressive one among all the actresses I’ve seen, n she actually won the best actress award in the Cannes festival (the film also won the best film award).

I just wanna notify that GRIMES WILL RELEASE LEAD SINGLE THIS FRIDAYYYYYYY (And Arca will release 4 ALBUMS KiCk ii,iii,iv,V)

hahahaha bro I was dancing right along with you for Violently Happy :D go gurl, woop woop :D

She does put spells on people! Many of ther songs are about healing with sound. Her mother was kind of a hippie and very into crystal bowls and stuff and I guess Björk also finds ways to heal with music 🧡 on songs like one day, all neon like, heirloom, family, the gate…

Nellee Hooper is a great British producer and collaborator of Bjork´s and they both together created some MAGICAL moments in music. Did you know Madonna after listening to this album, enlisted Neellee Hooper for her BedTimes Story album? She always listens to what´s new and unique and goes after the producers... Actually, Bjork co-wrote the song Bedtime Stories with Neelle Hooper and in an interview, a reporter asked Bjork "how was it working with Madonna?!!" (all excited) and Bjor (very casually said) "I actually didn´t know the song was for her, my friend Nellee Hooper just asked me for a favor and I did it"

Venus As A Boy is the best track on Debut, i think it’s the one she’s the most proud of on this first record, you definitely have to check out the video for this song, simple pure bliss Love the energy of Debut, it’s still super refreshing after nearly 30 years… so nice to see you enjoying yourself with it !

You reeeally should watch her movie dancer in the dark, one of my favourite movies ever. It's almost a thriller, it's soo well done, and on the internet the people always said that it's a traumatic movie, but that because the history and Björk acting as Selma, is mesmerizing.

Real life Icelandic person here. The second way you said her name, rhyming with "work" is much closer to Icelandic. She's said herself it rhymes with "jerk".

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this album!

Debut is an amazing album anyone could get into. I love it 😋

I am 25 loved bjork since 13 and this video made me so happy

React to Madonna's albums! She got bangers for life!!!

Yes ^^ thank you for your reaction about debut :) very happy you like it ^^ you really have to listen the remix of the era :) my experience with debut. I am 43y, when début come out in 1993 I was 15y. This day I was in my city. With the money of Christmas and my birthday, I decided to buy something really cool : a Walkman ^^ I go to the shop . Buy the Walkman . I go to the bus stop to go home .I put batterie into the Walkman and because I buy the new one , they are a new option : radio ^^ top of the top in 1993 ^^ Walkman on . And the first song I listen was violently happy. Catchy music. Very new style for my ears. And then arrive the moment when I fall in love with bjork : when there is the fx on her voice : and if you catch me baaaybe e e e e be be be. I was in chock in the street with my Walkman and this sound effect. Because I have miss to say . This Walkman also have a new feature , STEREO ^^ so listen this fx effect with the stereo was completely amazing and new for me. I finish the song waiting that the guy on the radio give the name of the girl. BJORK. I take another bus , go to the cd shop. And buy the album. I go home . Listen the album. I have never remove the cd from one month ^^ I have listen this album every day. It was so fresh so new in 1993. And now in 2021, I am still addicted to bjork ^^ I have to check your Chanel to see if you have reacted to vulnicura . And specially , the song : family . For me as an old fan, family is the best song of bjork. Style , lyrics , emotions , and most of all, the music. Hypnotic atmospheric . Ho and don’t forget when you react to VOLTE, to listen the B side : TRANCE . Masterpiece too . Arfff they so many good songs of bjork you have to listen ^^ Have a good day ^^

If you do a review/reaction to her little album called Selma Songs, you must watch the film she recorded the songs for. The film will blow your mind, break your heart and somehow heal your soul all at the same time. As phenomenal as the soundtrack is, the movie does give the music so much context!

“It rhythms with “jerk””

You should listen to Vulnicura Live. she played a more string version of 'Come to Me' it sounds like it fits vulnicura

For a very very quick touchstone on Nellee Hooper, check out Soul II Soul's "Back to Life" from 1989, which was such a big deal it was even featured in the London Olympics in 2012, and it's still glorious Human Behaviour had a stunning couple of remixes by Underworld several years before they made it SO big with Born Slippy - the main remix is ace but Underworld Dub 2 is so growly, it's criminal it wasn't on the single Venus As A Boy's music video was inspired by a bit of incredibly gross hardcore porn from the 1920s. It also had a much tidier RnB ballad version done by Simply Red (7" Dream mix/Anglo-American Extension), if you found the original a bit too odd. The strings come from Talvin Singh, who would go on to be a big part of a healthy Asian Underground scene in the UK - he also got Bjork to re-record her vocals in an Indian style for a lovely version of Possibly Mayble (Calcutta Cybercafe Mix) There's a load of acoustic versions of this album, "Celebrating Wood and Metal" was a recording of an MTV show given out to members of her fanclub in the 90s (these versions are often the quite different backbone used for the remixes on Possibly Maybe), there's also a load used as b-sides on Violently Happy. Big Time Sensuality includes some very early songs she wrote, and features her playing the flute, which really doesn't seem to crop up again much til recently. There's also a really... weird... remix album called "The Best Mixes from the Album Debut for All the People Who Don't Buy White Labels", which are mostly by the Sabres of Paradise, which is notable for Andrew Weatherall, who turned Primal Scream's "Screamadelica" (1991) into the early house juggernaut it was. "Play Dead" (with David Arnold, of James Bond fame) was added to Debut in later editions, it is such a gorgeous song but it really didn't fit it very well. "I Remember You" is a really powerful cover that I assume came from the same recording as Like Someone In Love Disgustingly, there's a non-toilet version of There's More To Life Than This. It's best we never speak of it again

Experimental is a better, more accurate, and less pejorative word to use instead of psychotic when discussing Bjork's artistry. She tends to falls under the electronica, avant pop, and art pop genres. I don't know where you read that Debut or any Bjork album isn't cohesive. All her albums are quite cohesive with a clear theme and sound. The difference comes in the accessibility of the songs with their structure, delivery, and sound. Debut (1993), Post (1995), Homogenic (1997), and Vespertine (2001) are widely seen as Bjork's best and most accessible albums. Conversely, Bjork's most experimental albums are Medulla (2004), Biophilia (2011), Vulnicura (2015), and Utopia (2017). After criticism that her last three albums were increasingly experimental and atmospheric soundscapes, Fossora (2022), with its shorter songs and more discernible structure, is regarded as a return to a more listenable and accessible sound. The Timbaland produced Volta (2007) is seen as a return to a more accessible sound for Bjork and remains her highest charting album in the US (#9 BBH200). Coincidentally, Venus as a Boy is the song that made Timbaland want to work with Bjork. The song was deemed an album highlight along with Big Time Sensuality and There's More to Life than This. Shame you weren't crazy about it.

React to Tori Amos !!

The structures of The Anchor Song would be revisited in her soundtrack for her ex-husband's film which I forget the name of, and her album VOLTA (the one with the bright red cover). If you liked Anchor Song so much, you'll be thrilled to bits with Volta

as the great cupcakke once said: "collab with Bee-jork"

the thing about Björk, the music is always awesome of course but you HAVE to check out her videos too! they generally bring another dimension to her songs! the 'human behavior' one is a standout, even in today's standard

Yesss, please react to medulla, it's mind blowing. Also please react to the best disco pop album of the year, Day/Night by Parcels. Lots of love.

Human behaviour was originally written for the sugarcubes and was called murder for two but they couldn't find the right music to go with it. Aeroplane was also written around 1990 and like someone in love came from bjorks sessions with corky hale a harpist in la in 1990. Corky hale was like 80 and had no idea who bjork was and thought she was strange when she presented her with alot of wierd notes to.play. but it worked.

Don’t miss Play dead!!!! Please! 😂🙌😄

Medulla next medulla next!!!

Where is the song "Play Dead"?

"Bjork! It rhymes with Jerk" She said once when asked about the pronunciation of her name in a press conference.

☺️☺️👏👏

Don't forget to listen to Gling-Glo her Jazz Album before Debut.

I like the vibe from come to me 🌚

if you haven't please try and watch björk unplugged mtv. you will thank me later

Deberías reaccionar a los discos de Massive attack y portishead

Please react to Joanna Newsom, the goddess of chamber folk & songwriting

No "Play Dead" on the digital release?

bee - jork

OOOh I like this reaction especially that Debut is kinda my least favourite album. I mean I appreciate it but I choose to listen to it least frequently. So it’s cool to see someone vibing to it more than a die-hard bjork fan like myself does. Haha! it I think Volta (brass and electronics) or Selmasongs (everyday sounds + orchestra) should be your next step down the discography lane. I would wait with Medulla (human vocals only) until later… you know, once you’ve been desensitised to the odd, peculiar and bizarre :-) Keep up the great work! Such entertainment 😉

Hear me out… this album IS cohesive!!

Sir I’m telling ya if you lived closer to me we’d go to this 80s 90s inspired club and have a blast together !

React to FKA twigs «Measure of a Man» please P.S. Still wait for reaction Sevdaliza «Shabrang» album ❤️

React to Kick ii,Arca new album!!!

Seeing you say Venus as a boy is your least favorite song it makes me want to report you for copyright. I love that song you just had. Idk

if you like this you might like dummy by portishead!

Hey all! More a joke Debut chat - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AATuwBBj4fg.html

how to pronounce her according to the woman herself. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VDzF76Vvy10.html this was fun watch! can’t wait for the remaining albums.
