With the accolades surrounding her film work in "Dancer In The Dark," fans are thankful Björk hasn't lost sight of the recording studio.

The Academy Award nominee for Best Original Song is putting the final touches on her next album, which carries a May 22 release date and a new title, Vespertine, according to her publicist at Elektra Records.

Björk, who has been tapped to perform during March 25's Academy Awards ceremony, had an apparent change of heart while naming the LP, having forsaken its tentative title of Domestika. The release will be her first studio album since 1997's Homogenic.

A series of performances to promote Vespertine — which takes its name from an adjective describing all things nocturnal — is being assembled for the spring. The shows will find the pixie-like performer being accompanied by a full orchestra and choir.

Produced by Björk herself, the new LP logged some quality flight time in its developing stages, as parts were recorded in London, New York, Spain, Denmark and her native Iceland. The album also features contributions from San Francisco experimental electronic duo Matmos as well as filmmaker Harmony Korine ("Kids," "Gummo"), who wrote lyrics for the song "Harm of Will."

Videos for the songs "Cocoon," "Hidden Place" and "It's Not Up to You" will begin filming in March and April, according to the spokesperson.

"Dancer in the Dark" will be released on DVD on March 20. Björk's most recent musical offering was last year's seven-song "Dancer" soundtrack EP, Selmasongs.
