Freed from the Sugarcubes' confines, Björk takes her voice and creativity to new heights on Debut, her first work after the group's breakup. With producer Nellee Hooper's (Soul To Soul) help, she moves in an elegantly playful, dance-inspired direction, crafting highly individual, emotional electronic pop songs like the shivery, idealistic "One Day" and the bittersweet "Violently Happy." Despite the album's swift stylistic shifts, each of Debut's tracks are distinctively Björk. "Human Behaviour"'s dramatic percussion provides a perfect showcase for her wide-ranging voice; "Aeroplane" casts her as a yearning lover against a lush, exotica-inspired backdrop; and the spare, poignant "Anchor Song" uses just her voice and a brass section to capture the loneliness of the sea. Though Debut is just as arty as anything she recorded with the Sugarcubes, the album's club-oriented tracks provide an exciting contrast to the rest of the album's delicate atmosphere.Vinyl, LP, Limited Edition, Reissue, 180 gramTracklist:A1 Human Behaviour 4:12A2 Crying 4:49A3 Venus As A Boy 4:41A4 There's More To Life Than This (Recorded Live At The Milk Bar Toilets) 3:21A5 Like Someone In Love 4:33A6 Big Time Sensuality 3:56B1 One Day 5:24B2 Aeroplane 3:54B3 Come To Me 4:55B4 Violently Happy 4:58B5 The Anchor Song 3:32
