Today’s Polar Music Prize ceremony saw Björk as the recipient. And to mark the occasion, Robyn was called upon to perform a cover of (our favourite) Björk hit, ‘Hyperballad’.
Few would be able to rise to such a challenge, especially with Björk sat right there in the audience. AND the Swedish royal family! But Robyn put in an absolutely killer performance. It’s stunning, and just the sort of moment in music that we, quite frankly, LIVE FOR! She gets it all right. The tenderness at the beginning and the emotional spazz-out at the end. Remarkable.
And on a side note, weren’t both Robyn and Björk wearing lovely frocks too?!
