At the time of its release, Björk’s Debut was a welcome respite from lackluster music being played on mainstream radio. It was representative of everything the music industry was not: fun and experimental. It made you dance even when you thought you didn’t feel like dancing. Make no mistake. This is not The Sugarcubes 2.0. Björk established herself as a legit solo artist.
