There are a lot of people who make music in the world. Whether you like rock or hip-hop, jazz or blues, a lot of it can sound the same. But sometimes, a musician makes music so unique, that the whole world pays attention. Björk is one of those people.
Björk adds a lot of artistry to her music. Some people do not get what she is trying to do, because a lot of it can sound very spacey. But if you listen to her music carefully, you can hear how creative and heartbreaking it can be.

Brian: Kellie, have you heard the new Björk album?
Kellie: No. I didn’t even know there was a new album out.
Brian: Yeah, it’s been a while. I think she’s really unique. She’s not necessarily my favorite musician, but I think she definitely has a bit of artistry in her work.
Kellie: I know. I think you’re right, but I just don’t get her. I don’t understand the music.
Brian: I’ve heard a lot of people think that she’s just misunderstood. But I think she’s just kind of a creative person, and with that, maybe a little spacey. But there are a couple songs on the new album that are really heartbreaking and touching.
Kellie: Well, I’m always interested in people who are artists. But yeah, I’ll definitely check it out. Do you have it?
Brian: Yes!
Kellie: OK. Well, let me hear it.
Brian: OK. (Brian starts singing).
