Björk released her second solo album Post on June 13, 1995, furthering her critical and commercial success.
Björk released Post on June 13, 1995, her second solo studio album, which built upon the eclectic foundation of Debut while pushing further into avant-garde and experimental territory. The album incorporated big-band brass, industrial beats, and orchestral arrangements alongside dance and trip-hop influences.
Singles such as "Army of Me," "It's Oh So Quiet" (a cover of a 1950s jazz standard reimagined as a theatrical big-band number), "Isobel," and "Hyperballad" showcased her range and won her a string of award nominations for both music and innovative music videos.
Critically, Post is often cited as cementing Björk's reputation as one of the most inventive artists of the decade, unafraid to mix disparate genres within a single body of work. The accompanying videos, many directed by high-profile collaborators like Michel Gondry and Spike Jonze, became landmark works in the medium themselves.
The album's commercial success—achieving platinum status in multiple countries—demonstrated that audiences were receptive to genuinely experimental pop music, expanding the boundaries of what a mainstream female solo artist could produce and still find major label and audience support.
