The Icelandic songstress will apparently release a yet-untitled album inspired by her dating life, in which she calls it her “Tinder record”.

If you’re in her vicinity, I’d get swiping because apparently Björk is on the market for love and creative inspiration. In her recent Dazed cover story, she’s finally shared a few hints about her much anticipated upcoming record. The subject matter will involve tales of love, lust and everything in between. “This is like my Tinder album. I set myself up with the last album being a heartbreak album, so everyone’s gonna be like, ‘Are you married?’ with this one. But … it’s too fragile still. I think, if I could, I’d just say this is my dating album. Let’s just leave it there.”

As cryptic as that may seem, she elaborates. “It’s about that search [for utopia] — and about being in love,” she says. “Spending time with a person you enjoy on every level is obviously utopia, you know? I mean, it’s real. It’s when the dream becomes real.” Many would attest to Tinder being closer to a desolate wasteland than a heaven-like dream state, but if there’s anyone we could trust to turn trash into treasure, it’s Björk.

While you wait for the musical component to arrive, feast your eyes on these very real (totally fake) Tinder bios, made by the team at Vulture.
