Grade: B-
Icelandic songstress Björk explores her ideas on music and nature in her latest single, “Moon.” Her strong vocals lend a soft yet sweet edge to her alternative sound, giving the song an intriguing flavor of mystery and a supernatural feel. Her creativity and uniqueness as an artist is prominent in the single, but the song isn’t far removed from the rest of her discography. Björk’s musical talent on this track can’t be denied, but the song probably won’t be a Billboard hit anytime soon. Björk slightly stepped out of her comfort zone with this song, but not enough to raise the bar any more than she already has.
