The new Timbaland-produced single from Bjork (pronounced "Be-york" or "Ba-jork" if you're really cool) has been released in internet-land.
Take a LISTEN.
I really dig it, much more than her last couple of albums at least. I'm looking forward to hearing the full album.

sounds great! i dont know or care much for timbaland, but that track is cool...I'm real psyched for this album, konono no1 is on it!
im a little disappointed in the track.
i was hoping the konono stuff would be more prominent and burning distorto afro funk with phat timbaland beats. but its just a little wimpy sample of konono. and it all sounds a little loopy and tossed off by tim to me. (i heard they only worked together for a total of 4 hours) harkens back to earlier bjork which isnt a bad thing, but this new track doesnt really do it for me.
chris corsano is also playing drums on this one too, i think you can hear his freakouts at the end. wonder how the heck he got that gig.,.....
is konono on that track alone or the album as a whole? also, chris corsano got the gig because he's awesome!
Thanks for posting that, Jay. I'd been curious.
Thoughts: It must be hard to be Bjork — she's pretty much already done all the innovating she's gonna do. I like the fact that she's getting back to a fiskier vocal, with light growls and choice squeals a ala Sugarcubes. But I'm pretty tired of the "Cult of Timbaland."
Dude jacks other people's stuff and puts out a solo album with a ton of pukey guest artists. Sure, he helped keep hip-hop fun and occasionally inventive over the last decade, but what has he done lately other than service pop artists looking for a quick boost of "cred"?
And if I hadn't been told, I'd have no idea this even had Konono on it. I think a lot of people (including some visitors here) could spit out a track like this with minimal effort.
But who knows? I still like early Tricky, so whatever.
When's movie night?
When's movie night?
I was wondering the same thing...any suggestions?
