"Ovule" is a song by Icelandic musician Björk, released on 14 September 2022 as the second single from her tenth studio album Fossora. The song was written and produced by Björk,[1] who also arranged the trombones and timpani.[2]
Background
Björk announced the song's release date on her social media on 14 September 2022, describing it as "a meditation about us as lovers walking around this world."[3] Featuring trombone played by Bergur Þórisson and timpani by Soraya Nayyar (with both parts arranged by Björk), the track contains elements of jazz and reggaeton.[4] The track also features percussion from Reykjavík trio Sideproject who were instructed to "channel the lurid sounds of Star Wars' Mos Eisley cantina band."[5]
Music video
The music video was also released on 14 September 2022, and was directed by Nick Knight,[1] whom Björk worked with for the music video of her song "Pagan Poetry" video in 2001 and the Homogenic album cover in 1997.[6]
