“They misunderstand it in the most beautiful way.” I love this woman. Björk gives me life. 💜💕✨

[Clicker]

She has such a uniquely beautiful way with words

[danielvalderrabano]

She is a sweetheart. Chill, confident, humble and funny. I'm in love.

[JJPoffMakeupArtist]

Although brief, this is a great interview. He treated her with due respect in contrast to so many hosts treating her as if she were weird or alien.

[jschritz]

I feel like Conan knew he was communicating with a real human being, in the artistic way, almost extremely human, and acknowledged that. He's not always as silly as one would assume. He had respect for her, in a deep way.

[doma]

I feel like Conan was being softer and sweeter because Bjork herself was being soft and sweet, and he didn’t want to make her feel alienated by being loud and sarcastic like he usually is.

[UrbanTaxi]

He is mesmerised by her, and I can see why.

[kirkstevens]

She’s so fkng adorable, then and now. And Conan was gentle with her, which was very cool of him.

[rajmadhure]

wow... never realized the timing. that was a hugely influential album.

[BrentWigginsWords]

Björk would be a great guest on the podcast.

[ericl.winter]

From the first time I heard the song “Birthday” from the Sugarcubes back in the 80’s, I immediately fell in love with Björk. Her singing voice is so special, and unique from any other singer I’ve ever heard. Just love her!

[ikuep]

Even just speaking her voice is so melodic and pleasant.

[bjorktalk]

her clothing/jumper looks 'oh so' like you could wear this in 2024. her over the nose bridge/forehead freckles are super cute with her bindi dots over her gorgeous eye's. 🇮🇸🎤🎹🥁🪇🪘🌋💥🔥🧊⛵️⚓️🛟🌊😍🥰🤩🖤🩶

[justgonzothegreat]

I've never seen Conan so held-back and intellectual, and I didn't know Bjork had such a strong British accent. I guess she dropped it later on.

[TheStuport]

I really believe Conan was a bit smitten with Miss Bjork at that particular time! I really enjoyed hearing her speak and be herself!

[udkocqn]

Gorgeous to look at. Radiantly uplifting personality. An accent I could listen to all day. Ridiculously cool sense of style and fashion. Stunningly brilliant musical and artistic mind. 1990's Bjork was one of the most cool and appealing women of my generation.

[__.lucky.__]

Her voice is so beautiful. I love her body language and how sweet she is.

[STANQITO]

You finally uploaded this! Thank you. She performed Human Behaviour just before this short interview

[udkocqn]

Imagine being a young dude, and meeting a girl this ridiculously pretty and charming and endearing who liked you, and thinking "Wow, I'm so lucky!". And then discovering she's also one of the most gifted musical and artistic minds of her generation. 1990's Bjork was one of the most appealing females on planet earth.

[L.Ron.Hoyabembe]

What a beautiful person. Inside and out. I hate that this interview was so short.
