Bjork's ninth studio album dropped last week and the Icelandic singer discussed it while on Matt Wilkinson's Beats 1 radio show, revealing one of her new songs was inspired by "RuPaul's Drag Race" Season 9 star Nina Bo'Nina Brown, New Now Next points out.
Bjork confessed the song "Sue Me" off "Utopia" came from Nina's catchphrase on the reality show.
"You will not believe this, but the Nina Bo'Nina reference was after," Bjork said "It's some zeitgeist... it was meant to be. I wrote the song before it happened. Maybe I should ask her to do a remix or something."
"That would be incredible," Wilkinson said.
Bjork also revealed she watched "Drag Race" with her daughter.
"We still remember all of the queens' names by heart," she said. "We got drag fever and there were a lot of wigs and makeup going on in our house."
This isn't the first time Bjork gushed about a "Drag Race" contestant. Last year, she praised Season 8 star Katya's impression of her during the Snatch Game competition.
"YESSSSSSSS i absolutely loved it especially when she started humming to herself, ha ha ha," she wrote of Katya during a Reddit AMA. "Selfishly I was hoping for a more current version like a 'Vulnicura' one lol. But she nailed the feminist activist tribal volta... [Imitation is the] sincerest form of flattery."
