Björk has just shared the first video from her powerful new album, Vulnicura, and in it, she sings from the heart.
The video for "Lionsong," which has the Icelandic artist dressed in a black bodysuit with an opening for the heart, and a headdress that makes her look like a balding lion or a dandelion gone to seed, was directed by Inez and Vinoodh, with visual effects from production house Framestore.
"Björk’s character for 'Lionsong' had to be smooth like a spider waiting in her web and seductive like a Balinese dancer cast in bronze," Inez and Vinoodh said of the video. "She is seen as if under a microscope, baring her heart while luring us inside the bloody galaxy of her own wound."
