For the first release from her forthcoming new album, co-produced by Arca, Björk has teamed up with a super-troupe of contributors to create a hallucinogenic new video. Director Andrew Thomas Huang envisions a kaleidoscopic world inhabited by the singer-songwriter, who is clad in an iridescent otherworldly garment designed by Gucci’s Alessandro Michele.

    I love the fact that the latest Björk works are not "easy listening". You have to welcome it to your heart, breath, close your eyes and then feel every note flowing through your ears. It's not just a melody, it's a sentiment!

    Bjork always looks like shes a final fantasy summon

    No musician will ever match Björk. I consider myself lucky to exist as the same time as her.
  • I think this is one of the most visually beautiful music videos she has ever done. The colors are gorgeous. That DRESS is gorgeous. Her reference to Vulnicura with the little heart wound is cute. Bouncing back and forth, healing itself again via love etc... I can really see "Utopia" becoming some of her best work. This sounds so soothing & hypnotic. Her music is an entire soundscape.

    it is so beautiful that Arca and Bjork have crossed paths, and I'll forever appreciate how intricate she is with the sound, the costumes, the message, everything. She's been my favourite artist since I can remember, and she'll always be truly unique with her honesty and rawness. Thank you for being.
  • Björk has returned from another dimension to cleanse the dying planet and give humanity hope once again!

    This makes me cry every time. Every single time. What a gorgeous poetic way to show the power of love and also her vulnerability. Thank you Bjork. It’s important to open your heart nowadays since it’s so easy to get distracted and forget to sit still. Her music just be listened to and analyzed and meditated on.
  • Pasar por un proceso emocionalmente doloroso, te hace saber que lo único que tienes al final eres tú mismo, para ti mismo, que no hay otra persona que pueda cuidar de ti y amarte mejor que tu mismo. Es grandioso <3 Esto es una demostración del estado anímico de Björk.

    I didnt want a slow song at the beginning but now all makes sense. It's weird but I can feel the energy moving. Love it! The visual and the dress are amazing!
  • I lived that. It's called samadhi. When you become a gate between life and the timeless world. The light you see is the soul of the universe going back and forth from the unified self to the whole. It's only in this state that I felt and realised everything is both falling and floating at the same time.
  • Welcome to the Neo-Baroque. Björk continues beyond the future. She is living far away from now. Thanks Björk for all this beauty. Arca and Thomas Huang are amazing companions in this travel.

    I feel like Bjork is going to be the first artist to have her conscious uploaded into an artificial being.
  • @MrRafwww
    This woman is doing her part on taking humanity forward, and I´m watching fascinated while I smoke a blunt.
  • We live in 2017 while Björk is living in 2198.
  • @gilsonmoraisfj
    I sincerely hope that this piece of art receives the attention it deserves.
  • @MariaGoJa
    I fell in love with Björks art when I was 13 years old an since then she remained my favorite artist of all time. Her freedom and otherworldliness inspired me again and again to stay free of judgement of other people when creating my own music. Thank you Björk for enriching this world with your art 💜
