Björk and Rosalía Release 'Oral' to Combat Salmon Farming in Iceland
Proceeds from the song will support the legal fight against environmentally harmful Norwegian fisheries.
- Björk and Rosalía have released a new song titled 'Oral' to raise awareness about the environmental dangers of open net-pen salmon farming in Iceland.
- The song, originally written by Björk between her 1997 and 2001 albums, was rediscovered and transformed into a duet with Rosalía, featuring a dancehall-inspired beat produced by Sega Bodega.
- All proceeds from the song will go towards supporting the legal case of the Icelandic town of Seyðisfjörður against Norwegian fisheries, whose farming practices have led to increased pollution and damage to salmon populations.
- The music video, directed by Carlota Guerrero, features Björk and Rosalía in a surrealistic dance-off wielding samurai swords, symbolizing their fight against the environmental issue.
- The song marks Björk's first release of the year, following her acclaimed 2022 album Fossora, and is among a series of singles released by Rosalía this year.
