Bjork rush releases new album 'Vulnicura' after leak
Call it a "complete heartbreak album."
Bjork is releasing her new album Vulnicura on iTunes weeks early after it was leaked over the weekend. She broke the news on her Facebook page today, writing "dear websitefolks , fans , tweeters and my music supporters on all the sorts of www :....vulnicura will be rolling out worldwide over the next 24 hours !!
Just last week, the Icelandic avant-pop star first announced the existence of the album, which was scheduled to come out in March, with a handwritten message on Facebook. It's her first new album since 2011 Biophilia, and it was scheduled to coincide with a multi-media retrospective exhibition opening March 7 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York (where the Biophilia app is part of the permanent collection).
Bjork addressed her fans with this note about the album:
"I guess i found in my lap one year into writing it a complete heartbreak album . kinda surprised how thoroughly i had documented this in pretty much accurate emotional chronology .... like 3 songs before a break up and three after . so the anthropologist in me sneaked in and i decided to share them as such . first i was worried it would be too self indulgent but then i felt it might make it even more universal . and hopefully the songs could be a help , a crutch to others and prove how biological this process is : the wound and the healing of the wound . psychologically and physically . it has a stubborn clock attached to it
there is a way out"
Late last month, Madonna released six songs from her forthcoming album Rebel Heart, also due in March, after seh was also a victim of a leak.
Bjork will do a number of Manhattan shows at Carnegie Hall on March 7 and 14 and City Center March 25 and 28 and April 1 and 4, as well as playing the Governor's Ball festival in New York in June but no offcial tour has been announced..
