Yes, there are moments that are very euphoric and happy, but then there is also-like in all sci-fi films and stories that humans have made about the perfect place-that moment when two thirds into the story, the tail of a dinosaur knocks on your door and you have to deal with it.EVENT Uto Amatsuka: UTOPIA Release Celebration If it were just happy songs, I would have called the album ‘Paradise’ or something. In an interview with Icelandic website Grapevine, she further said that the album not only consists of happy songs, otherwise she would have called it ‘Paradise’: And this is my proposal, mine and Alejandra’s. I think if there ever was urgency or necessity to come up with another utopian model, how we’re gonna live our lives, I think it’s now. We have Trump, we have Brexit, we have our issues in Iceland, we have our environmental issues. I kind of like the fact that it’s a cliché, that word it has a fascistic, ‘I want the world to be like this!’ feeling about it, because it’s a proposal (of) how we can live with nature and technology in the most optimistic way possible. I can’t think of anything better! If I change my mind five minutes before the album cover goes into print, that might happen. I have had thousand name suggestions and I think it’s gonna be called ‘Utopia’. When premiering the video for “The Gate”, Björk was interviewed by Nowness, where she revealed the album title and discussed why she chose it: The lead single from the album “The Gate” was surprise released in September, followed by “Blissing Me” in November, with several track titles and lyrics teased in interviews in between. Since then, she teased another album in several interviews before officially announcing one on August 2nd 2017 with a handwritten note on her social media accounts. The first news of the album came from Björk herself during her pre-taped acceptance speech for International Female Solo Artist at the 2016 Brit Awards. As a result, this is also the first album where Björk has collaborated with one particular artist all the way through an entire record. The inspiration came whilst they were wrapping up the production for Vulnicura Björk wanted to do the whole record with Arca rather than involve her at the end. The bulk of the project was handled by Björk, alongside fellow artist Arca. Especially now, this kind of dream is an emergency. If we don’t have the dream, we’re just not going to change. Maybe that’s why it became a utopian theme – if we’re going to survive not only my personal drama but also the sort of situation the world is in today, we’ve got to come up with a new plan. With a more positive vibe, Utopia refers to a utopian fantasy rather than a dystopian vision, focusing on finding solutions for the current state of the world.Įxplained to Dazed Magazine back in September 2017, Björk mixes the themes of love and personal hardships with political and environmental dilemmas that happened throughout the writing process of the album:
Utopia is Björk’s tenth studio album, and is a direct parallel to her last project, Vulnicura.
