Robyn: "Hyperballad" (Björk Cover)

Scandinavia unite! In Stockholm, Sweden, a ceremony went down honoring Icelandic singer Björk and composer Ennio Morricone for their Polar Music Prize wins. Swedish dance-pop songstress Robyn took the stage at the ceremony, performing Björk's song "Hyperballad," complete with string section. Björk herself seems weirdly emotionless during Robyn's take on the track, but the song really fits the Swedish singer's style pretty well, even if she can't hit all of Björk's notes. Check the video above, and be sure to watch the second half in particular, where Robyn own really begins to own the performance. [Stereogum]
