Jazz singer reacts to Bjork - Venus as a Boy!

Is this what i think it's about? :D Tonight I react to Bjork Venus as a boy and its only the second song ive ever listened to by her. Chilled, almost hypnotic sound and lovely vocals from her too.

Lyrics tell us about what i think is a man that she feels can....ahem....satisfy her and basically saying he is the personification of love. I feel like the imagery in the film is relevant to the lyrics.

Have i missed the mark here? Or have i hit the spot? :D Let me know!

He's Venus as a boy because he believes in and understands sensual beauty and pleasure.

[makkonen]

The opening lyrics are "His wicked sense of humor suggests exciting sex"

You're not imagining.

Bjork is ace, she was so ahead of her time. I'm not normally one to listen to 'pop' music, but she is certainly an exception I'm happy to make. This track always sounds like a much more upbeat Portishead. Don't know if you've ever heard them, if not I suggest Glory Box or Roads.

I highly recommend these Bjork songs:
- Hyperballad (Album Version)
- Possibly Maybe
- All is Full of Love
- Joga
- Pagan Poetry
- Blissing Me
- Unravel
- Arisen My Senses
Just to name a few 🤭😉👊

Genius and brilliance is hard to come by...in any time in history... BJORK is the real deal... Her mind is a treasure ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[Akoyabones]

"Is this song turning x rated?"
Sir, where do I start XD

[krissysteel]

The song is about a guy who is versed in the art of sensuality. A great song. The whole album, debut, released in 1993 is a masterpiece. So innovative for the time, but hit home so hard. Bjõrk was and still is great. Absolutely an amazing artist.

Björk is a rare *real* genius. The single "Play Dead" she did, with string arrangement from the mighty David Arnold, & bassline from Jah Wobble!!.... was one of the highest quality musical works to appear in the UK charts in the '90s.
I'm not a fan of pop music, but she is way beyond pop. I own all her albums. ;)

I love Bjork. I'm so happy that you checked out that song and the video. She's just such an adorable person with a beautiful and powerful voice. (This is Holly from Zoom.)

Bjork singing 'Birthday' when she was part of Sugarcubes was my first exposure to her complex vocal brilliance. So inspiring!

Listen to Vespertine by Björk and Homogenic. They're not albums they're states of being.

[djcie]

I had the privilege of seeing her in 96, what a remarkable gig that was..

[inesb.]

"I hope I'm not making it up"
Bjork, in the very first verses : SEEEEX"

[cbly]

She recorded an album with a Jazz trio called Gling Glo. You can check it out here on Youtube. Luktar Gvendur is a good song.

Bjork was brought to the world's attention when she was with the Sugar Cubes. They had a few good songs but "Birthday" was a huge alt-rock hit. It is so unique and great. One if my favorite songs with her as singer but before she went solo. Check it out.

But she has a host of great songs. Her big band-ish, "It's Oh So Quiet" (which you mentioned) is currently used in Corolla car commercials in the US which was a fun surprise choice by Toyota.

Your reaction was lovely hahaha favorite song of all times!

[chris_j]

A personal Bjork favourite is a 'Triumph of a heart' ... no instruments involved just a beatboxer. You should listen to some of her other tracks, always a bit different and an interesting listen, I think its someone you'd like. 👍

Thank you for the inspiration! This really chimes with inspirations I take for my independent music, it’s so nice to see this kind of work out there.

[carolwyban]

She’s smitten and daydreams. There’s something pure and sweet about her. You’re jaded if you can’t see her infatuation of love.

[timsalabim]

Nice react.. She made Great Songs and i LOVE Music Videos too.. Thx for this Video.
