The avant-garde diva got rave reviews for her last album "Vulnicura", which detailed the pain of her split from the renowned American artist Matthew Barney.

Bjork, 51, and Barney, 50 -- best known for "The Cremaster Cycle" of films -- who have a 14-year-old daughter, broke up in 2013, with the album appearing little over a year later.
Although the title of the new album has yet to be revealed, fans can already pre-order it on the singer's website.
Californian artist and film-maker Andrew Thomas Huang, who worked with Bjork on "Vulnicura", has told reporters the new album is "future-facing in a hopeful way that I think is needed right now".
"We just want to evolve what we did in 'Vulnicura', which was so personal and introspective," he added.
