''Homogenic'' was originally to be produced in her home in [[London]], but was halted due to media attention from Björk surviving a murder attempt by [[Ricardo López (stalker)|a stalker]]. She later relocated to Spain to record the album. It marked the first of several production collaborations between Björk and Bell, whom she would cite as a major influence on her musical career.

Upon its release, ''Homogenic'' received widespread critical acclaim.

The album produced five singles—"[[Jóga]]", "[[Bachelorette (song)|Bachelorette]]", "[[Hunter (Björk song)|Hunter]]", "[[Alarm Call]]", and "[[All Is Full of Love]]"—and was further promoted with the Homogenic tour (1997&ndash;1999). Retrospectively, ''Homogenic'' has continued receiving critical acclaim, being listed among the best albums of all time by numerous critics.
