SONG OF THE WEEK

Song: "It's Not Up To You"
Artist: Bjork
T&E writer Brandon Biallas says, "The entire Vespertine album has a cold, wintery vibe to it that always makes me want to immerse myself in blankets when I spin it. This song in particular has so much going on musically. Bells, sweeping strings, choirs, and electronic glitch beats, just to name a few examples of the ear candy available beneath the surface of Bjork's uniquely beautiful vocals. It's reminiscent of Radiohead's Amnesiac album, with that same 2001 electronic feel that is nostalgic to so many listeners who grew up during those years. The song's message about accepting our lack of control over most situations is incredibly comforting and an insightful reminder to just let go and process each day as it comes."
