The two acts have specifically collaborated on a new version of “Sonnets”, originally taken from BJORK’s 2004 album Medúlla.

This completely reworked a cappella rendition was actually first premiered live by the choir during BJORK’s mesmerizing “Cornucopia Tour” in 2019, but hasn’t been released to the public until today.

 

“[Hamrahlid Choir founder] þorgerður is a legend in iceland and has guarded optimism and the light in the tumultuous times that teenagedom is,” BJORK praised the choir’s leader on social media.

“She has also encouraged and commissioned dozens of choir music from all of icelands most prominant composers for half a century or so.”
