Lionsong (Juliana Huxtable Remix)
Björk
Lionsong (Juliana Huxtable Remix) is a single-track release and part of the Vulnicura Remix Project, where various experimental producers reworked songs from Björk's 2015 breakup album Vulnicura. Juliana Huxtable’s remix was released in late 2015 both digitally and as a highly limited, single-sided etched translucent 12-inch on One Little Indian (only about 1,000 copies for that wave), making it one of the rarer physical entries in the series. It sits alongside other Lionsong remixes (including the choral mix featuring Untold and a Mica Levi rework), underscoring how central the song was to the overall remix campaign.
Musically, Huxtable’s version takes “Lionsong”—originally a slow, fragile track about the uncertainty of a relationship on the brink—and pushes it further into club-adjacent, bass-heavy territory while retaining its emotional core. She wraps Björk’s already elastic vocals in darker, more brooding low-end and skeletal beats, creating what descriptions call a “dark and brooding” reinterpretation that still foregrounds the voice but reframes it for a late-night dancefloor or experimental club setting. Huxtable has said that “Lionsong” hit her in a “guttural and spiritual” way during her own period of healing from a difficult love, and she’d already been playing the original in her DJ sets before being asked to remix it—so her version functions as both personal catharsis and a DJ’s reimagining of how to “take people to this really insane place” using Björk’s material.
