Those backing vocals actually do a hell of a difference to Glass Hotel. I had never imagined I'd wanted anything like it on a song like that. Because I used to think I wanted to it to be all lonely and miserable. And now I'm kinda flabbergasted. (And someday I hope you'll do a David Ackles cover.)

I love the way these two voices work so well together

Emma Swift is superb. I worship at the altar of RH but she is awesome.

Love You @2>>>!!

Are Robyn and Emma's collaborations available anywhere yet? I'd love to see them perform together!

Robyn is a friggen GIANT....The first time I noticed it was at the Bowery Ballroom in New York. He sat on a stool and I was up in the balcony and he literally took over the entire tiny stage. It was so surreal. This was an old silent movie house but still..... Robyn looked like a giant to me. It was the weirdest thing about that show I remember.

search ‘emmaswift' in bandcamp for "Love is a drag”

[@flyingfishsurf]

"1970 In Aspic" from his 2017 eponymous release. Hopefully, you've heard the entire thing by now.

[@davidguyett32]

I've heard Robyn refer to Emma as his partner. I'd like to know if they are partners in every sense of the word

[@jeffreynorman9180]

Yes.

[@hollymorral6347]

He referred to her as his wife tonight.

[@sallybowles2781]

glad he found a sweet lady, he always looks so grumpy, not to say gloom

[@stevebennett5423]

@@sallybowles2781 That's just what British people look like.

@@stevebennett5423 Tune into their live quaranstreams. They are an absolutely adorable couple when broadcasting from their couch. :)

[@memorandom7484]

Fantastic stuff, great banter. But is she absolutely tiny or is Hitchcock just enormous?

[@grannychannel]

Both, really. Hitchcock is a pretty big guy, quite tall and broad-shouldered....you can see this in the Jonathan Demme version of Manchurian Candidate. Taller than Denzel Washington, surely.

[@chrisanderson6936]

​@@GabrielOliveira-re5kvIf Robyn is indeed 188cm, then Emma's no more than 167 or so. I mean, who cares, just sayin' though

[@EmmaSwiftsings]

I'm 5 ft 2 and he's 6 ft 2

[@BrianHickey7]

Hahaha! See? We need that kind of perspective post-Covid to bring us all back to three dimensions!

@@EmmaSwiftsings you guys harmonize sublimely thank you❤️‍🔥

He always looks so bloody uncomfortable :D
