9:30 Coffee Break: Let's keep it mononymous
by Jill Riley and Sean McPherson
August 11, 2015
Posting on her Facebook page on Saturday, Björk alerted fans that she is ceasing touring in support of her very personal Vulnicura album. The emotionally weighted songs on the album address the end of her 13-year relationship. "Usually, I don't really talk about my private life, but with this album there's no two ways about what it is," Björk said.
Björk says she'll be dedicating her time and energy to future musical projects, and we wish Björk all the best.
Björk has always been an adventurous artist, and that is reflected in her single-word — or mononymous — name. She is part of a collection of artists who operate under a single-word name, and that inspires our theme for today.
