Singer-songwriter SZA, whose album “SOS” topped the Billboard 200 this week, didn’t hold back when she recently opened up about her love for Icelandic musician Björk.
The “Kill Bill” singer covered Björk’s 2001 song “Hidden Place” in her new track “Forgiveless” and told Entertainment Weekly that she’s always looked up to the artist.
“She is the GOAT to me. From the way she punches reporters to the way she screams in her music, she’s the realest bitch alive,” SZA said.
SZA, who discovered Björk on an iPod she found in college, also revealed that she danced to the artist’s song “Jóga” in high school.
He added that “Homogenic,” the singer’s critically acclaimed 1997 album, is “perfect.”
“He’s perfect. Everything he does is so perfect,” SZA said.
SZA has previously been open about her love for Björk, including during an interview with entertainer Kerwin Frost in 2019.
SZA told Frost, who wore a Björk T-shirt during the interview, that she dreaded meeting the singer whose song “Jóga” made her cry.
“I cried and I danced while I cried and I did all the moves, I think, for Björk,” said SZA, who later spoke with Frost about the “MTV Unplugged” singer’s performance of “Come to Me.”
Björk has also been transparent about her love for SZA. The “Army of Me” singer told Pitchfork’s “In Sight Out” podcast in 2017 that she once rode her bike for an hour in Brooklyn while blasting SZA “really loud.”
