Offered is Robyn's cover of Björk's 1996-single "Hyperballad" which she performed during the annual Polar Music Price. The ceremony was held in Stockholm, Sweden this past Monday. The Icelandic singer was one of the two recipients (the other being legendary Italian composer Ennio Morricone) and as a special honor her blonde colleague gave this lively performance.

I'm kind of upset that this has been on the web for over 30 hours and I am just now finding out about it. As someone who has seen both of these ladies live, there is just nothing to say about this except to watch it. Robyn - Hyperballad (Bjork cover)

Ayer, y tal como te contábamos hace un tiempo, se realizó la entrega del Polar Music Prize.

Se sumaron así a la honorable lista de previos ganadores del premio creado por Stig Anderson, integrada por artistas como Steve Reich, Peter Gabriel, Joni Mitchell, Quincy Jones o Led Zeppelin. El video que circula hoy por todos los sitios es el homenaje que Robyn, jugando de local, hizo a la islandesa. [...]

No text

L'occasione è stata il Polar Music Prize : il premio annuale istituito nel 1989 dal manager degli ABBA Stig "Stikkan" Anderson. Quest'anno i premiati sono stati Ennio Morricone e Bjork e proprio in omaggio di quest'ultima (che vi ricordiamo, è prossima alla pubblicazione della colonna sonora di "Moomins & The Comet Chase" ) durante la serata è stata eseguita la cover di un suo brano. Sul palco, a reinterpretare "Hyperballad", una visibilmente emozionata Robyn : una delle voci migliori in circolazione che ha comunque faticato a restituire [...]

Totally brilliant. Simply breathtaking. Get ready to be moved when you hear Robyn perform Bjork's "Hyperballad" in a Swedish telecast that aired live in Sweden tonight. Icelandic singer Bjork was honored with the 2010 Polar Music Prize from Sweden's King Carl XVI Gustaf in Stockholm. It is one of Sweden's most prestigious music awards that was established by the manager of Sweden's legendary pop group ABBA, Stig Anderson, in 1989.

Robyn mandando uma versão um pouco menos IDM e um pouco mais eletropop de "Hyperballad", no Polar Music Prize. Ah, nesse vídeo também dá pra assistir à progressão da cara da Björk de reticências a sorrisinho amarelo.

The following took place at the Swedish Polar awards. Which is a music 'thing' they have over there. We would like to suggest that if Robyn is struggling for tracks for 'Body Talk pt.3' then this cover version would go down a treat. Footnote: As Robot was writing this, Pigeon poked his head around the door and said the following: 'I don't like it. She doesn't add anything to the song and sounds like she is struggling to hit every note'. While we appreciate the input, he is basically wrong.

This is just a slice of heaven to watch as the Scandinavian goddesses exchange their love for music. Here is a historical (at least to us) performance by Robyn on the monumental "Hyperballad" right in front of the legendary Bjork . We love the expression on Bjork's face at the end, we got goosebumps!
