Contrary, inimitable, and gloriously her own, she has awed her famously dedicated fans for more than a decade with a swooping, querulous voice that has been likened to a glass not quite breaking. Bursting onto the Icelandic musical scene with a precocious album at the age of 11 and a series of releases in the 1980s that notably include her work with the Sugarcubes, Bjork soon found herself gaining international renown as she released the jazzy Gling-Glo and her breakout solo album Debut. Since then the superstar wordsmith has continued to produce idiosyncratic, well-received works. In 1995 Bjork combined hit-making tunes with her maverick sounds to produce Post, and then after working with an army of collaborators, Telegram. Two years later, Homogenic took listeners on a compelling journey through the outer reaches of electronica. Again abruptly switching directions, Bjork starred as a blind mother in the critically acclaimed Dancer in the Dark, producing the renowned Selmasongs soundtrack. Returning to explorations of herself the next year, she produced Vespertine, an intimate and sensual fan favorite that continues to sell well. Drawing on years of experience covering Bjork and her industry, music journalist Ian Gittins explores and celebrates the creative processes and motivations behind her amazing career and musical history. With 70 color and black-and-white photographs, Bjork is a must-have for her legions of devoted fans. AnnotationIan Gittins' biography of Iceland's most famous artist combines quotes from Bjork herself from wide-ranging sources, and song by song analysis of her recorded output, from her very first album, recorded at the age of 11, to her latest at the time of writing, VESPERTINE. THERE'S MORE TO LIFE THAN THIS is also a richly illustrated gold mine of rare photographs, including baby portraits and pictures of the singer early in her music career playing the recorder. Incorporating a wealth of background material, Gittins delves into Bjork's beginnings in the Icelandic avant-garde, her rise to international prominence as the elfin singer of the Sugarcubes, itself an avant-garde offshoot, and her 1990s emergence as a solo artist with the captivating albums DEBUT and POST. Gittins combines his analysis of Bjork's work with a helpful timeline and an invaluable discography, providing useful material for long term fans and neophytes alike.
