Debutante

Björk's first album, inevitably titled Debut, remains one of my all-time favourite albums. It's both of the moment and timeless, capturing and resonating with a pivotal time in my life and finding new ways to entrance and motivate me, nearly three decades later. I was a big fan of The Sugarcubes, loved their remix album It's-It, and yet nothing prepared me for the sheer brilliance of Björk unleashed (released?). She would go on to create more and more groundbreaking music, but perhaps never as raw or energised as her debut solo album.
