So, it’s now one week since the release of myself and Mike Raine’s cover of Bjork’s ‘Human Behaviour’.  I have really enjoyed the conversation it has generated.  I knew it would be met with mixed reactions and it most certainly has!  As Mike so neatly put it:

“The challenge of doing a cover of someone who herself has seriously challenged musical traditions was always going to invoke a variety of reactions. There will be some who don’t fancy Bjork, and therefore won’t fancy anything that is Bjork-like. On the other hand, there will be some who do fancy Bjork and therefore don’t fancy anyone trying to be Bjork-like. And then there will be others who will enjoy the heroic quirkiness of it.”

This is one of the lovely reviews from the third camp :

Other news this week is my facebook live video that I mentioned a couple of weeks ago.  This was the first ever music facebook live video that I’ve done, and I’d love to be able to tell you that it went brilliantly without a flaw.  It certainly wasn’t my finest moment –  my nerves definitely got to me – but I’m really pleased that I finally plucked up the courage and I’m hoping that it is going to be the first of many to come.
