Björk composing music inspired by Clarice Lispector

Icelandic singer Björk is composing a new song inspired by the 1964 novel "A Paixão Segundo G. H." by Brazilian author Clarice Lispector. Björk, who has previously stated she has read all of Lispector's books and considers her "the best writer of the 20th century," is reportedly integrating this literary influence into her upcoming musical work.

Specific details regarding the track's title, production, or release date have not yet been disclosed. The song is expected to be part of Björk's next album, which is currently projected for a 2027 release. This follows the recent preview of a new track titled "Nerve Bloom" during her "Echolalia" exhibition in Iceland.

Björk joins a growing group of international pop artists expressing interest in Lispector's work, including Rosalía, Lorde, and Olivia Rodrigo. Rodrigo notably highlighted the influence of Lispector's "The Hour of the Star" in a recent interview, noting how the author's words serve as inspiration for her own songwriting.
