The release of her new album "Vulinicura" is no exception. **You won't find it on Spotify** for now, but **that could change…** From a new [Fast Company](http://www.fastcompany.com/3042429/creative-conversations/bjork-on-keeping-her-new-album-off-spotify-its-not-about-the-money-it?ref=hypebot.com) interview with Bjork: **On Spotify & Free Music Streaming** "A few months ago I emailed my manager and said, 'Guess what? **This streaming thing just does not feel right**. I don’t know why, but **it just seems insane**'… To work on something for two or three years and then just, Oh, here it is for free. **It’s not about the money; it’s about respect**, you know? Respect for the craft and the amount of work you put into it."

Maybe that’s the way to go with streaming. **It’s first physical and then maybe you can stream it later**." **On The Album Format** "I think there’s a reason why \[albums are\] 45 minutes. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that movies are the length they are. **It’s a certain storytelling-by-the-fire, cavemen, DNA instinct that feels really natural**. But there’s all kinds of music. A **lot of the songs I listen to, I don’t want to hear them as albums**. They’re pop songs or whatever. And then there are other ones where I want to sit down and listen to a story."
