Björk drops visuals for new single ‘The Gate’
Since she stepped on the scene Björk has bent minds with her ethereal vocals and unique presentations. The Gate is the lead single from her upcoming project which the musical mastermind describes as, “…rediscovering love-but in a spitural way…”
The visuals are amazingly accented by a blend of colors and for lack of a better description, “screen saver” elements from an earlier time in computing. In Hip Hop we might say Björk rode the track like a professional hobo, and that’s about as close to getting the description right as I can, without using another 500 words or so. 5/5 ~ JD

Björk today releases the music video for “The Gate” — the first single from her forthcoming ninth studio album.
“The Gate” is essentially a love song, but I say ‘love’ in a more transcendent way,” Björk says of the song. “Vulnicura was about a very personal loss, and I think this new album is about a love that’s even greater. It’s about rediscovering love—but in a spiritual way, for lack of a better word.”
The video was directed by long-time collaborator Andrew Thomas Huang, with creative direction by Björk, Alessandro Michele and James Merry.
Some fans were able to see the music video early in a London Fashion Week installation by NOWNESS that took place over the weekend.
“The Gate” is available digitally via One Little Indian now, and on limited edition 12” vinyl on September 22.
