Björk is the only studio album by Icelandic singer Björk Guðmundsdóttir as a child singer, released on 18 December 1977 by Fálkinn. In 1976, Björk appeared on Icelandic radio singing "I Love to Love" through the music school she attended, which led her to a record deal and the release, with the help of stepfather Sævar, of her first solo album in 1977.

Given Björk's past reputation for burning pop rulebooks, Selmasongs should expand on her disregard for traditional song structures, and challenge listeners with inventive sounds and unconventional uses of new technology. In fact, Selmasongs breaks no new ground whatsoever for the Icelandic composer, instead dwelling in more comfortable regions already mapped by Homogenic. The album begins promisingly with the beautifully arranged instrumental, "Overture. Muted horns echo distantly and gradually swell into a brief, subdued triumph

Dancer in the Dark was my first exposure to Björk, my high school marching band performed the overture as part of a band routine (seriously, the director did not watch the movie beforehand. Divorced from its source material, I was utterly spellbound with the music. It was a melodic line like no other, these horns that sounded both triumphant and utterly defeated. I was so intrigued that I immediately watched the movie. Like most teens in the 2000s, I knew Björk from her Swan Dress.
