Björk offers her definition of love on “Ovule”
The second release from the forthcoming Fossora is here.
Björk has released a video for her new song "Ovule." The track will appear on her forthcoming album Fossora, due later this month. It follows "Atopos," the album's lead single, released last week.
Writing on Instagram, Björk said of "Ovule": "'Ovule for me is my definition of love. It is a meditation about us as lovers walking around this world and i imagine 2 spheres or satellites following us around, one above us that represents ideal love, one below us representing the shadows of love, and we ourselves walk around in the third sphere of real love, where the everyday monday-morning meet-in-the-kitchen-love lives in."
Fossora is Björk's follow-up to 2017's Utopia. Guests on the album include Serpentwithfeet and Indonesian dance duo Gabber Modus Operandi. Björk's children, son Sindri and daughter Ísadóra, have recorded backing vocals while two tracks were written by her late mother, environmental activist Hildur Rúna Hauksdóttir, who died in 2018.
In addition to the new album, Björk has also launched her own podcast. Björk: Sonic Symbolism is a nine-episode series that will cover all of Björk's solo albums leading up to Fossora.
