Björk has made some of the most fascinating music of the last three decades as a member of the Icelandic alternative rock band The Sugarcubes and as a solo artist, so it's expected that she has interesting taste in music.

During a recent two-hour takeover of BBC Radio 6 Music which will premiere in full this Boxing Day, the Human Behaviour singer shared her most-played track of the last 20 years. 

The song? Kijom Kijom by Indonesian outfit Haba Haba Group. Björk discussed the track: "I’ve decided to play for you this song which is in my music library as the most played song of the last 20 years. It’s by a band called Haba Haba Group, who are from Sumatra, Indonesia. This song is called Kijom Kijom."

She added, "It’s almost like an Indonesian RnB tune before RnB was invented, from the 70s, I think this is. I really love this tune, everything about it: it’s sassy, sensual, picks up the energy in the room. I just love it." Listen to the track below.

Björk will make her return to Australia in March 2023 to premiere her magnificent Cornucopia show at the Perth Festival.

The Icelandic legend last visited Australia in 2016 for DJ sets during Vivid LIVE. Björk's appearances next year will be her first musical performances in the country since her incredible sets at Big Day Out 2008. 

An Australian exclusive at the purpose-built pavilion of Langley Park, the Cornucopia shows are described as "Björk's most elaborate production yet" on the Perth Festival website.

"Created by Icelandic pop iconoclast Björk, Cornucopia is a visually spectacular landscape of lush colours, futuristic screens and wild images of nature that comes alive with Björk's wondrous music, as she performs live alongside musicians and choirs of flutes and voices.

"Produced with an award-winning team of digital and theatrical collaborators, co-directed by Björk and based on her environmentally-themed 2017 album Utopia, Cornucopia is a sublime feast for all the senses and Björk's most elaborate production yet."

The tenth Björk album, Fossora, was released in September. The singular, stunning work was led by the singles Atopos and Ovule, two extravagant songs with videos to match.
