 * This has waited for quite along time, and I'd been thinking oif reviewing it for a while, so here goes. How come this is GA2 and not GA1? FunkMonk (talk) 10:29, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
 * ""Isobel" had an origin amongst" Originated amongst might sound better.
 * "his very first songlyric in fact" Too informal, and doesn't really add anything at al.
 * "and had met the singer while she was a member of KUKL" Who had met the singer? The former part of the sentence doesn't connect well with the latter.
 * "ever since" Too flowery, since is enough.
 * "Björk came with the melody" Came up with?
 * "until evening." Untio the evening.
 * "She worked it out on a portable Casio keyboard" What does "work it out" mean here?
 * "took it to Nellee Hooper" Brought it to would sound better.
 * You should present all the people mentioned throughout the article. What do they do, and where are they from?
 * "and then she tacked on" Tacked on has negative connotations. What does the source say?
 * "Live performances" What is the scope? The name implies it is about its general performance in live concerts, but why do you arbitrarily mention only a few specific dates, if it is stable? I think the section would feel less pointless if it also covered recorded live performances, for example.
 * The concert photo would look better aligned to the right; the subjects of photos should preferably face the article text, not away from it.

 * "have a "visually rich narrative" You should give in-text attribution to subjective, direct quotes.
 * "that was collaborating with the album" On the album?
 * "as the album's second single," After what song?
 * "that's why" Using contractions is discouraged.
 * "So as to" Redundant.
 * The second paragraph under Synopsis has no sources, whereas the first has several.
 * In many cases you use the same ref for multiple consecutive sections in the same paragraphs. This is not needed, you only have to place a source once after every paragraph if you only use the same one.
 * "and Marius de Vries" Only mentioned in intro and personnel list, it would appear he is important enough to mention in the article body?
 * "although it received no support from MTV" You say it was shown, so "little" support would seem more adequate.
