The Knife’s Olof Dreijer Remixes Björk and Rosalía’s “Oral”: Listen
Olof Dreijer (Wagner Cria); Björk and Rosalía (Carlota Guerrero)
The Knife’s Olof Dreijer has remixed Björk and Rosalía’s “Oral,” the song the pair released in November to support the fight against environmentally unsound salmon-farming operations in Iceland. Listen to Dreijer’s take below.
Björk wrote on X, “i am so extremely thrilled that olof dreijer was up for remixing my song ... i have been dj-ing his songs and remixes last couple of years nonstop so incredible to find mine and rosalía voices in that exact same environment !”
“I had a lot of fun making this remix!” the producer said in press materials. “I really like Rosalía and Björk’s voices together. Also this is the first time I play a tamborim that I got as a gift, a small drum usually heard in samba.” Last month, Dreijer released the EP Coral.
The original version of “Oral” is an archival track that Björk excavated after writing and recording it between 1997’s Homogenic and 2001’s Vespertine.
