Robyn Brings Tinashe and Teddybears Together in BBC Live Lounge Mashup

Robyn connected two distinct corners of pop at the BBC Live Lounge, combining a cover of Tinashe’s “Popstar” with Teddybears’ “Punkrocker.” Pitchfork reported the performance, which puts both songs inside a single mashup rather than treating them as separate covers.

The pairing is the draw: instead of keeping the spotlight on one artist’s song, Robyn makes the meeting between two catalogs the central idea. For listeners coming in through either Tinashe or Teddybears, it offers another way into Robyn’s approach as an interpreter.
