“‘Human Behaviour’ is an animal’s point of view on humans.
And the animals are definitely supposed to win in the end.”
Written by Nellee Hooper and Björk. Feautring a sample of “Go Down Dying” by Ray Brown Orchestra.
“Human Behaviour” was released in the summer of 1993 (June), one month before the album ‘Debut’. This single launched Björk her international solo career after some years with the Sugarcubes. The video, directed by Michel Gondry, became an instant classic and was rewarded by MTV as ‘Best Breakthrough Video’. “Human Behaviour” was the birth of a lyrical imagery collaboration, his unique perceptions of Björk’s music and his art of storytelling are unique to the music video world, which resulted in 6 videos.

7.5/10 (stunning debut of Björk. inviting rhythm, minimalist industrial sound backbone. not her best vocal performance, though. weak instrumental arrangements and bad synth fillers, not her fault but of Nellee Hooper, her producer at that time)
