Watch Björk Battle Rosalía in the Video for 'Oral'

It’s a mother-off in the Carlota Guerrero-directed video for Björk and Rosalía’s collab ‘Oral’ - just because they can. Cut from Björk’s archives, this revitalized rendition of the track has co-production from Sega Bodega with lots of lofty strings and '90s dancehall echoes. The song was originally created somewhere between 1997 and 2001 with lyrics that are self-aware (“There’s a line there, I can’t cross it”), desirous and hopeful. As the two literally have it out in Acne and Margiela, with Uncanny Valley superimposed faces, ‘Oral’ is also a battle cry against open pen fish farming fishing in Iceland’s picturesque fjords. As it was, so the song still stands tall today.
