Icelandic singer, songwriter, actress, record producer, and DJ, Björk, just shared the first track off her upcoming ninth studio album, Utopia. The anticipated record will be a follow-up to 2015's release, Vulnicura, which is a slightly darker album while Utopia will be “about being in love. Spending time with a person you enjoy on every level is obviously Utopia.”
Co-produced by Arca, Björk revealed the first single including a futuristic music video for "The Gate". Björk's artistic abilities have always been out of this world and we're ecstatic to hear what is to come next of this legendary artist. You can expect Utopia to be released sometime in November of this year, hopefully that also means it will be followed by a Winter / Spring world tour.
Take the time to really watch the hallucinogenic visuals for "The Gate" below. Artist Andrew Thomas Huang lends his tech-savvy hand to envision a kaleidoscopic world inhabited by the singer-songwriter, who is clad in an iridescent otherworldly garment designed by Gucci’s Alessandro Michele.
