When we had the immense privilege some years ago to interview legendary Icelandic songstress Björk, we enthusiastically traded stories with her about the unique experience of having music be such an important force in each of our lives. Something she said during that conversation particularly resonated with us, and offered a fascinating peek into the mind of one of the most incomparable artists of our time:

"Music has an escapist element to it, which I most definitely embrace. I think it's common with people that make music, that they kind of use their music as sort of a retreat, where they can creatively and mentally load up again. Then they can go back out into reality in a healthier way."

That she has remained profoundly relevant for decades now can surely be attributed to her astonishing ability to consistently re-invent herself artistically. Never allowing herself to be limited by the boundaries between art forms - music, film, fashion, etc. - has meant that her creative possibilities have remained virtually infinite.

Proof?

Her four-and-a-half-year-long (April 2019 - December 2023) 'Cornucopia' tour, which began with eight sold-out shows at The Shed in New York City, then took her to Mexico, Europe, Australia, Japan and back to Europe again for three spectacular final months, with a closing performance in the southern French city of Bordeaux.

The productions boasted utterly breathtaking visuals, often thrillingly blurring the lines between humanity and nature. Underlying it all were urgent messages about the need to stop and consider the environmental devastation threatening not only the stability of the planet, but also human existence itself.

Nearly two years later - and breathlessly awaited - comes the official release of the 'Cornucopia' concert film on virtually every format you can imagine: 3LP, 2CD+DVD, 2CD, DVD, Blu-ray, and UHD 4K...just in time to make the list of 2025's most prized stocking stuffers...for music fans of any and every age. (The digital album is available at this link.)

“I am so thrilled to share the film for my concert 'Cornucopia' with you," Björk earnestly enthuses. "This has been a long journey with hundreds of people helping. I am so beyond enormously grateful to every single one of them. I feel the modern concert film is a matriarchally friendly construct, welcomed in the current climate - where female musicians can share their worlds uncorrupted.”

Of course, we couldn't think of a better way to say it.
