Medulla | |
| Medúlla (Music) | comment |
Medúlla is the sixth studio album by Björk, released in 2004. The album is notable for being almost entirely sung A Cappella, with every possible kind of human voice singing you can imagine.The album is seen as one of her most audacious experiments, but has garnered a lot of praise as one of her masterpieces. The most successful single of the album was "Triumph of a Heart", while "Oceania" was also enough of a fan favourite to be performed by Björk during the opening ceremony of the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece.And for fans of memes: The "Triumph of a Heart" video provided the Internet with the I Should Buy A Boat Cat. | |

Sampling: Not all the singing is done live. Some of the vocals have been processed or sampled. The line "I'm not sure what to do with it" during "Desired Constellation" is a sample from "Hidden Place" from Vespertine (2001). | |
