Björk's Volta (2015 Reissue) is a dynamic and exploratory album that originally marked her return to a more structured and rhythm-driven sound after the experimental Medúlla. Released as a double LP for its 2015 reissue, the album showcases Björk's distinctive fusion of electronic, tribal, and orchestral elements. It features notable collaborations with artists like Timbaland, Antony Hegarty (of Antony and the Johnsons), and Malian kora player Toumani Diabaté, bringing a mix of diverse textures and sounds to the record.
Tracks such as "Earth Intruders" deliver a bombastic opening with tribal percussion and distorted beats, while "The Dull Flame of Desire" builds with soaring horns and a stunning vocal duet. Songs like "Declare Independence" are bold, industrial, and politically charged, reinforcing Björk's avant-garde approach to pop music. Across the album, themes of primal connection, independence, and humanity are explored through Björk's unique lens.
The 2015 reissue of Volta celebrates its sonic vibrancy and impact, offering the album on high-quality vinyl with updated packaging, making it a must-have for fans and collectors alike. It serves as both a bold artistic statement and a significant entry in Björk's innovative discography.
