CHICAGO - There she is in the front row, the young bottle VOLTA, BJORK
No, Timbaland doesn't make her get jiggy. Though co-producing three tracks here, the hip-hop superproducer becomes but another tool in the Icelandic alt-pop queen's vast arsenal on her latest album. With its lush horn arrangements, cutting-edge beats and Bjork's otherworldly coo fluttering far and wide, this disc is rife with inspiration.
Defiantly experimental, strikingly beautiful, alternately self-indulgent and effusively funky, it finds this visionary artist in fine form.
