The second single from Björk’s highly anticipated new album “Fossora,” set to be released Sept. 30, is an ambitious and surreal meditation on love, showcasing a brilliant artist doing what she does best. “Ovule” pushes the envelope forward with distorted instrumentation accompanying Björk’s iconic, stunning vocals.
“Talking to Yourself”
Carly Rae Jepsen
Release date: 9/16
Record label: School Boy/Interscope Records
In the years since “Call Me Maybe” played excessively on radios, Carly Rae Jepsen has been reinventing herself as more than a one-hit wonder. “Talking to Yourself” isn’t necessarily one of her most memorable songs due to a lack of unique themes, but it’s catchy and fun enough to please the ear.
