Yesterday, Icelandic icon Bjrk announced that her new album, which'll be the first since her 2015 'Vulnicura' record, is coming soon. <\/p>\n
Following up on the brief social media announcement, Bjrk dives further into the inspirations and thoughts behind the album in a new interview with Dazed. <\/p>\n
This is like my Tinder record, she says before explaining further that the album is about \"being in love. Spending time with a person you enjoy on every level is obviously utopia. I mean, its real. Its when the dream becomes real.<\/p>\n
Her 2015 release, she explains, was very much a \"heartbreak album\", influenced by her divorce from artist Matthew Barney. Addressing the rumors upfront, Bjrk explains that this album is more like a \"dating album\" as she continues to rebuild after the separation. <\/p>\n
Beyond her own personal experiences, Bjrk also mentions that the album is undoubtedly tied into the world's current controversies. Maybe thats why it became a utopian theme if were gonna survive not only my personal drama but also the sort of situation the world is in today, weve got to come up with a new plan, she said. If we dont have the dream, were just not gonna change. Especially now, this kind of dream is an emergency. <\/p>\n
