Björk's Vulnicura Strings is a poignant and intimate companion piece to her highly-acclaimed eighth studio album, Vulnicura. Released in 2015, this acoustic album presents a strings-only version of the original tracks, featuring Björk's haunting vocals accompanied by the soaring sounds of strings and the rare Viola Organista. The result is a more uncompromising and intimate take on the breakup album, with Björk's emotions laid bare in a way that is both deeply personal and universally relatable.
With its stripped-back arrangements, Vulnicura Strings brings a new level of depth and nuance to the original songs, allowing the listener to connect with Björk's music on a deeper level. From the haunting beauty of "Black Lake" to the emotional intensity of "Stonemilker", each track is reimagined in a way that is both faithful to the original and freshly minted.
As a completely acoustic studio effort, Vulnicura Strings marks a new direction for Björk, one that showcases her innovative spirit and willingness to push boundaries. The album's nine tracks, including a stunning Viola Organista version of "Black Lake", are a testament to Björk's skill as a songwriter and her ability to craft music that is both deeply personal and broadly resonant.
Released on 6 November 2015 through One Little Independent Records, Vulnicura Strings is a must-listen for fans of Björk and anyone who appreciates innovative and emotionally charged music. With its unique blend of art pop and trip hop influences, this album is a powerful and moving listening experience that will linger long after the final note has faded away.
