  • Volta ist das sechste Soloalbum der isländischen Sängerin und Songschreiberin Björk. Eine Inspiration für das Album war die Tsunamikatastrophe in Indonesien am 26. Dezember 2004. Es wurde am 9. Mai 2007 in Deutschland veröffentlicht.
  • Volta es el sexto álbum de estudio, nominado a los Grammy, de la cantante islandesa Björk, lanzado el 7 de mayo de 2007. Este álbum se centra más en el impulso emocional que la lógica y la expectativa, incluyendo instrumentos de viento-metal y tambores. Es menos introspectivo que Medúlla y compone diez nuevas canciones. El álbum fue lanzado oficialmente el 2 de mayo de 2007, a pesar de sufrir una publicación previa accidental en iTunes en la medianoche del 23 de abril de 2007 por un total de seis horas. Esto llevo que el disco se filtrara en la Internet al siguiente día. Volta fue certificado plata en Reino Unido. En una entrevista hecha por la página musical Pitchfork, Björk comentó acerca del álbum: Plantilla:Cita
  • Volta on Björkin kuudes studioalbumi. Se julkaistiin vuoden 2007 toukokuussa Euroopassa 7. päivä, ja maailmanlaajuisesti 8. päivä (Ensimmäistä kertaa 1. päivä). Yhtenä albumin tuottajista toimi hip-hop -artisti Timbaland, joka tuotti singleinä julkaistut kappaleet "Earth Intruders" ja "Innocence". Björk sanoo albumin nimen "Volta" tulevan sen voimakkaista merkityksistä: Volta on italialaisen fyysikon, joka keksi pariston, sukunimi. Se on myös joen ja erään tanssin nimi.
  • Volta è il sesto album in studio della cantante islandese Björk.
  • Volta is the seventh studio album by Icelandic musician Björk, released in May 2007. Produced by Björk, Mark Bell, Timbaland and Danja, it was released through One Little Indian Records, Elektra, Atlantic, Warner, Polydor and Universal Music. The music of "Volta" was a new style for Björk, focusing on similar sounding music combining African beats and other instruments with songs in tribute to Africa. The full album was accidentally made available on the UK iTunes Store at midnight on April 23, 2007 for a total of six hours, two weeks before the album's official release date. This led to the album being leaked online the following day. It has been certified Silver in the United Kingdom. The album attracted attention due to the inclusion of three tracks co-produced by R&B record producer Timbaland. "Volta" marked the first of several production collaborations between Timbaland and Björk, whom Björk would cite as a major influence on her musical career. The album was highly acclaimed on its initial release and continues to be praised by critics. Volta spent nine weeks at number one on Billboard's Top Electronic Albums chart and in the first three months of release sold over half a million copies worldwide. The lead single, "Earth Intruders", reached number 67 on the UK Official Download Chart, and number 78 on the main UK Singles Chart, while the remix EP later released charted on its own at #150. In the United States, the song debuted on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 at number 84 in the issue dated April 28, 2007. Björk went on an 18 month tour in support of the album, which was her first tour in four years. The album was re-released in June 2009 under the name "Voltaïc". It refers to five separate releases of related material from "Volta". The full version of the release will include a CD of 11 songs performed live at the Olympic Studios, a DVD of Björk's live performances in Paris and Reykjavík during the Volta tour, a second DVD of the Volta music videos as well as videos of the top ten runners-up from the "Innocence" video contest, and a second CD of remixes from Volta's singles. The official worldwide release date of all editions was June 23, 2009. The artwork was nominated for an award at the 2010 Brit Insurance Design Awards.

  • Volta é um álbum de estúdio da cantora islandesa Björk. Em seu sexto álbum de estúdio, Björk volta em suas origens não priorizando o experimentalismo que obteve em seus últimos trabalhos desde Debut, em 1993. Björk resolve então sair da sua fase doméstica, desde o nascimento de sua filha, e saí em busca de novos desafios. Com a viagem que Björk fez a Mali e na Indonésia, em 2005, consequente dos desastres dos Tsunami, Björk concretiza seu sonho de trabalhar com a música típica africana e acaba tendo os melhores resultados. Como Björk faz em todos seus trabalhos, obteve também a ajuda de muitos colaboradores, entre eles: Timbaland, Konono n°1, Chris Corsano, Mark Bell, do LFO, Min Xiao-Fen e Antony Hegarty, de Antony & the Johnsons. Dentre os mais de 15 colaboradores que trabalharam com Björk, cada um pelo menos teve o dedo ao se quer uma faixa do disco, Timbaland que foi uma das participações mas cogitadas, teve uma participação normal para as faixas que produziu neste disco, Earth Intruders, primeiro single do álbum, com as fortes batidas de tambores do grupo Konono. Innocence futuro single previsto para setembro deste ano, com uma complexidade inigualável; e Hope, que discute as vértices do terrorismo. A maioria das canções foram baseadas nas obras de Sjón. A canção "My Juvenile", seria uma homemagem ou ao menos dizem rumores de que a letra da canção, pertenceriam a sua filha Ísadóra. A edição completa de Volta ficou disponível em 23 de Abril de 2007, no site do iTunes, sendo que o single da faixa "Earth Intruders" também já estava disponível para download. O álbum conta com 3 versões: CD Single, Limited Edition CD e Double Vinyl. Nas edições Japonesas e do Reino Unido, foram inclusas a faixa: "I See Who You Are" [Mark Bell Mix]. A edição Limited Edition conta com um DVD-Áudio onde todas as faixas estão mixadas em 5.1 surround e conteúdo exclusivo no encarte.

  • "The song "Earth Intruders," in particular, was sculpted soon after Björk awoke from a dream she had during a cross-Atlantic flight to New York. In the dream, the singer said a "tsunami of millions and millions of poverty-stricken people" swelled high above the airplane she was a passenger on. Eventually, the wave overtook the plane, hit land and razed the White House into oblivion. "It's a quite chaotic song," she said of Volta's first single. "Lyrically, it's a collection of all of these images" burned into her memory, from her trip to Indonesia as well as her vivid, in-flight reverie."
