Homogenic es un álbum de Björk, publicado en 1997. El disco incluye 10 canciones, entre ellas «Hunter», «Joga», «Unravel» y «Bachelorette».
Sobre el álbum
Considerado por muchos su obra cumbre, Homogenic es un álbum de una intensidad y cohesión extraordinarias. En este disco, Björk crea un paisaje sonoro que rinde homenaje a su Islandia natal. Para ello, fusiona dos elementos aparentemente opuestos: ritmos electrónicos volcánicos y agresivos con arreglos de cuerdas majestuosos y emotivos, como si se tratara de la lucha entre la tecnología y la naturaleza. El resultado es un sonido homogéneo, como indica el título, pero cargado de una emoción visceral y una belleza sobrecogedora.
Desde la primera nota de "Hunter", el oyente se sumerge en un viaje épico y profundamente personal. Canciones como "Jóga" dedican su majestuosidad al paisaje islandés, mientras que la dramática "Bachelorette" cuenta una historia de auto-suficiencia con una orquestación arrolladora. Cada pista contribuye a un todo unificado, un testamento de supervivencia y amor incondicional. Sin lugar a dudas, Homogenic es un punto de inflexión, una declaración artística que equilibra a la perfección la vanguardia con el corazón.

While you are away My heart comes undone Slowly unravels In a ball of yarn The devil collects it With a grin Our love in a ball of yarn He'll never return it So when you come back We'll have to make new love He'll never return it So when you come back We'll have to make new love - Bachelorette5:12
Letra
I'm a fountain of blood In the shape of a girl You're the bird on the brim Hypnotised by the whirl Drink me, make me feel real Wet your beak in the stream Game we're playing is life Love is a two way dream Leave me now, return tonight Tide will show you the way If you forget my name You will go astray Like a killer whale Trapped in a bay I'm a path of cinders Burning under your feet You're the one who walks me I'm your one way street I'm a whisper in water Secret for you to hear You are the one who grows distant When I beckon you near Leave me now, return tonight The tide will show you the way If you forget my name You will go astray Like a killer whale Trapped in a bay I'm a tree that grows hearts One for each that you take You're the intruder hand I'm the branch that you break - All Neon Like5:53
