"Hyperballade" from yesterdays Polar Music Prize.

This clip is from yesterdays award show, with Björk in the ordience.

That was wonderful! Robyn did a great job! She makes the same mistake I do with the lyric- I guess it's supposed to be "so I can feel happier to be safe up here with you".

Anyway you slice it, this song is incredible.

The 11th greatest of all time.

Not a bad job by Robyn. She clearly doesn't have Bjork's vocal power (who does?), and I thought the first half of her performance kind of laid there. She did a better job when the accompaniment went into club mode.

Bjork's expression was inscrutable throughout. I couldn't tell what she was thinking.

Any fans of this song should hear Bjork's remix with only accompaniment by the Brodsky String Quartet, which was on her Telegram album of remixes.
