Я Скучаю По Тебе (Björk)

1997 single by Björk

"I Miss You" is a song recorded by Icelandic musician Björk for her second studio album, Post (1995). It was released on 17 February 1997 by One Little Indian as the sixth and final single from the album. It is amongst her least well performing singles in the United Kingdom, but it hit number one on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart. The B side "Karvel" was recorded in one of Björk's first sessions with Graham Massey in 1991; during which two other tracks were also recorded: "Army of Me" and "The Modern Things".

The lyrics describe Björk already knowing who her perfect lover will be, even though she has not yet met him. Nine years later, the remastered version, as it appears on the release of the 2006 album Surrounded, features a newly recorded vocal take.

Larry Flick from Billboard commented, "The time has come for pop radio programmers to finally make room for Björk. This gem from her current collection, Telegram, shimmers with a spine tinging pop/disco groove, fluttering flamenco guitars A la No Mercy, and deliciously spicy salsa piano lines. All the while, Björk warbles a wickedly contagious chorus in her distinctive vocal style. Radio needs to broaden its parameters and treat its listeners to this record. It could open the floodgates for a refreshing new phase in pop music." Chuck Campbell from Knoxville News Sentinel found that "Björk longs for her dream lover on "I Miss You", which glides on a smooth, tropical rhythm (with jittery enhancements for spice)." Dominic Pride from Music & Media wrote, "Trumpets and soaring, open throated vocals evoke memories of Björk's former band the Sugarcubes, but Arabic style drones and Middle Eastern percussion betray her more recent ability to hoover up musical styles and make them her own. Showing no desire to compromise for mainstream radio acceptance, Björk's sound again challenges even her ardent fans." British magazine from Music Week named it Single of the Week and gave it five out of five, declaring it as "one of the strongest songs" on the Post album. David Sinclair from The Times said, "Typically bewitching number, accompanied here by a bewildering variety of remixes none of which betters the original."
