Bjork talk: Timbaland and more help with new album

by Kev Kharas [Edit this content] ▾ 21 comments 13:27 January 19th, 2007

Björk has been working with a host of familiar names on her new album.

Though the record is currently bereft of both a name and a precise release date - estimations say it will see the light of day in late Spring - big names have already been roped in to contribute.

Timbaland has worked on a couple of tracks, as has Antony Hegarty of Antony and the Johnsons. Intriguingly, the Icelandic songstress has also collaborated with Brian Chippendale and Mark Bell of Lightning Bolt.

Chris Corsano, Konono nr.1 and Toumani Diabate, one of the world's most prominent kora players, will all also feature.

"More work is being done in the next few weeks on the new record," read a statement on Björk's website.

Sounds good though, dunnit?

this looks soooo good...

i think it'll be released

after the eta because she's such a perfectionist.. leaks about bjork albums always come way before release date..

Regardless, she's doing an interesting record with more collaborations than normal... go Bjork, way to say "my ego isn't THAT big"

Tour would be delicious...

I got her 7 album + dvd box set for xmas... its beautiful...

If

an album that includes Bjork, Lightning Bolt, Timbaland, Konono No. 1, Antony Hegarty and "the world's most prominent kora player" is anything less than spectacular, i will be as surprised as i will be disapointed (i.e. very).
