Björk Guðmundsdóttir (['pjœr?k 'kv?ðm?nsto?ht?r] (help·info)) (born November 21, more...1965 in Reykjavík, Iceland) is an award winning Icelandic singer/songwriter and composer (formerly the lead singer of alternative rock band The Sugarcubes), as well as an occasional actress. She is best known for her expressive range and an interest in many kinds of music including pop, alternative rock, jazz, ambient music, electronica, folk, and classical music. Her record label, One Little Indian, reported in 2003 that she has sold over 15 million albums worldwide
he album Homogenic was released. It marked a dramatic shift from her earlier "pixie" image cultivated on the Debut and Post albums. Björk worked with producers Mark Bell of LFO and Howie B on the album, as well as Eumir Deodato; numerous remixes followed. Homogenic was her first conceptually self-contained album and is regarded as one of Björk's most experimental and extroverted works to date, with enormous beats that reflect the landscape of Iceland, most notably in the song "Jóga", which fuses lush strings with rocky electronic crunches.
The emotionally-charged album contains a string of memorable music videos, several of which received airplay on MTV, especially the epic "Bachelorette" directed by frequent collaborator Michel Gondry and "All Is Full of Love", which was directed by Chris Cunningham and became an alt-rock hit in 1999. The single 'All is full of love' was also the first DVD single to ever be released in the USA which paved the way for other artists to include DVD video and other multimedia features with their singles.
The album eventually reached gold status in the States in 2001 and platinum in 2006. In 2000 Björk played the role of Selma, a blind factory worker in Lars Von Trier's Dancer in the Dark, and subsequently recorded the soundtrack, simply named "Selmasongs". less
