Driven by rhythm, collaboration, and global scope, ‘Volta’ captured Björk at her most outward-looking and politically charged. Written and produced by Björk, with select tracks co-produced alongside Timbaland and Mark Bell, the album embraced percussive force and communal energy as its core language. Rather than retreat inward, the record expanded across continents and traditions, drawing together electronic experimentation, brass arrangements, and polyrhythmic drive into a bold, confrontational whole.

Across ‘Volta’, Björk assembled one of the most diverse casts of collaborators in her catalogue. Antony contributed vocals that added emotional weight and fragility, while Timbaland’s beat-driven frameworks brought a physical immediacy to the album’s pulse. Drummers Chris Corsano and Brian Chippendale injected raw, improvisational intensity, contrasting sharply with the ceremonial power of Konono No.1 and the intricate kora lines of Toumani Diabaté. A custom-built Icelandic female brass ensemble further amplified the album’s militant energy, while Min Xiao-Fen’s pipa added unexpected texture. Balancing aggression, vulnerability, and defiance, ‘Volta’ unfolded as a record of movement and resistance, culminating in the rallying cry of "Declare Independence". Restless and uncompromising, the album reaffirmed Björk’s commitment to collaboration as a radical creative act.
