"Big Time Sensuality" is a song by Björk, released as the fourth single from her 1993 album Debut. The track is upbeat, bubbly trance-pop about enjoying life to its fullest and helped boost Björk’s popularity worldwide, particularly the US, where she charted for the first time. This single also contained “Glóra” and “Síðasta Ég”, two songs that were recorded by The Elgar Sisters, a group formed in the early eighties by guitarist Guðlaugur Kristinn Óttarsson and Björk.
