Bjork - Roux (New Music 2008)

Lyrics:

"If one steadfastly attempts and respects all communities
Consistently cares and insists on one - at the time
One will eventually elivate above all struggles
Above daily nuance with the sensation of the nuance
Oooh! When all things... Oooh!"

[ Performanced by Bjork and Toumani
Diabate at the Expo Zaragoza 2008 ]

Dude, I don't care what others may say. Volta is a hell of an album. It has so much blood in it. The brass makes every song so fricking great. When I listen to Wanderlust, for example, I can't help but think I'm climbing Elbrus or something.

[FriendlyThing]

I think people don't like some new albums with new albums not because the album is "bad" but because it is not something they expected from a particular artist. as see it rather as frustration.

I think it is important that artists follow their heart in experimenting with music the way they feel and not just stick to a style, because they are "in" performing it.

Yea Volta is fucking sweet with that brass sound.

"Roux" was a fan title, the real title is "Softly"

[Gusty85]

the lyrics spells out Anarchism for me ;) Bjork still has got it in her ;)

[toonmama6]

she did say that...but the statement has a story behind it.

she was working on her post i think.

She was loving dance music at the time

and wanted to explore that. But she has made acoustic songs..like " my heart been broken" that is all flamneco guitar

You're not missing much. Wait for the next one.

Guitars are the reason why pop music has become stale...people for the most part (exceptions being Radiohead etc.)aren't using it to explore sound, rather imitate ones that pushed this instrument into the mainstream consciousness. Musical artists have the right to call it out for what it is. Would a master =painter= use a crayons (cue every lame Train song) or something more consistent with technique and discovery?

[tojupiterandback]

actually this is not a guitar, it's a kora, played by tounami diabate, though i have to admit that your comment is definetely hilarious

[toonmama6]

i am ashamed of myself i consider myself a massive bjork fan, and i still dont have this album=(.

[doubled7]

omg! my beloved tori amos needs to realize this! I can't believe tori has gone to guitars when being forced to use guitars in her music was the reason she rebeled against the record companies. Now, actually maybe a little guitar won't hurt Bjork, like one or two songs, just for variety's sake. She's done stuff with acoustic guitars live before. Maybe a Sigur Ros colab?!

perhaps never and perhaps tomorrow
