The revamp features on 'Nymph_o', the deluxe edition of Shygirl's 2022 album 'Nymph', which is due out on April 14 via Because Music. It also includes Shygirl's recent remix of her song Heaven featuring Tinashe, along with contributions from Arca, Erika de Casier, Eartheater, and more.
Offering new vocals and lyrics from the Icelandic artist over ethereal synths, the new version of Woe comes paired with a Sam Ibram-directed video. Björk’s said:
"Shy told me in her lyric she is talking about both different amorous interests and fame and how suddenly everyone wants something from you and you should be thrilled but you’re not... and I decided to take an angle as an older “amour” and give advice... because in Woe she is asking a question and I decided to reply to it from the SUFI angle which is: enjoy the wanting and the longing and NOT getting what you want but enjoy wanting it... how the whirling dervishes reach up when they turn, it is meant to represent that longing and being content with that... also on a more everyday personal level it is about sometimes when you are not satisfied in a relationship, you should not expect your partner to heal that or fix that... rather look at him or her as a partner in crime or a fellow-not-getter…. Another human with that insatiable longing."
Earlier in 2023, Björk released a Sega Bodega remix of her track Ovule featuring Shygirl, who will continue the North American leg of The Nymph Tour in Los Angeles on Friday (March 24). She'll also appear at various festivals this summer, including Glastonbury, Wide Awake, Parklife and Boardmasters.
