björk LionsongWatch at the source
Björk's "Lionsong," released on March 12, 2015, is a track from her eighth studio album, *Vulnicura*. Co-produced with Venezuelan musician Arca, the song delves into the emotional complexities preceding a breakup, reflecting Björk's personal experiences during that period. The accompanying music video, directed by the Dutch duo Inez & Vinoodh, features Björk adorned in a striking costume resembling an "alien dandelion," with visual effects by Framestore enhancing the surreal atmosphere. The video portrays Björk's character as both vulnerable and seductive, embodying the themes of pain and healing central to the album.
the video was created in collaboration between björk, inez & vinoodh and visual effects production house framestore. framestore created two main effects in the stars and the glowing embers that surround björk, as well as enhancing the video’s other-worldliness by extending her legs to unnatural proportions. the exquisite coloring for the piece was done by tim masick of company 3, turning her into the exotic, red-toothed, bronze dancer.
