10 Rock Covers That Improved Classic Songs

When approaching a Bjork album, you're better off just going along for the ride and seeing what happens. From making entire acapella albums to making an entire record centered around the seasons, Bjork has been casually taking some of the biggest risks in alternative music, and she hasn't really struck out all that often. In fact, probably the weirdest trick that she's ever pulled on record was making a jazz song and playing it completely straight.

Because when you listen back to the album Post, It's Oh So Quiet is not a good indication of what you're going to get on the rest of the record. If you listen to songs like Army of Me or Possibly Maybe, you can hear pieces of industrial music and trip hop production happening around her voice, only to bring in the big band halfway through the record for this impromptu jazz number.

Bjork's music has always felt like she was trying to set up a world inside your mind, and this is some jazz club right off of Bourbon Street, as she owns this ballad as if she's been singing it for years. While there's no real connective thread for this song and anything else on Post, it's more about giving you a taste of just the kind of singer we were dealing with. Sure, Bjork can contort her voice into weird spaces and make some more outlandish music, but when you put her in the jazz world, she can still manage to slay all of her competition.
