Which Icelandic singer released the 1997 studio album Homogenic, featuring the song “Jóga”?

The story behind the answer

Icelandic singer Björk released the 1997 studio album Homogenic, which features the song “Jóga.”

Homogenic was Björk’s third solo studio album after her international breakthrough with Debut and the follow-up Post. It combines electronic production with orchestral string arrangements, creating a sound that is both experimental and rooted in Icelandic musical imagery.

The album was recorded in Spain, with production involving Björk, Mark Bell, Guy Sigsworth, and other collaborators. Its songs include “Jóga,” “Bachelorette,” “Hunter,” and “All Is Full of Love.” The album cover was designed by Alexander McQueen.

The title Homogenic refers to the album’s unified atmosphere rather than a single musical genre. “Jóga” was named after Björk’s best friend, and its lyrics and arrangement are often discussed in connection with Icelandic landscapes and emotional geography. Homogenic received strong critical acclaim and remains a key electronic-pop album of the 1990s.
