Watch: Robyn's Awkward Interview / "Do It Again" Performance on GMA
Robyn and Röyksopp are back in the U.S after performing a few shows in Europe. The Swedish and Norwegian musicians will be embarking on a 6-date North American tour starting this Wednesday - August 20th – at Pier 97 in New York. You recall they released a joint 5-song EP titled "Do It Again" in May, right?
Well, Robyn and Röyksopp’s labels thought since they are back on American soil to do the new tour, and there are still a few tickets left, it was only right to book them a TV appearance before tour kick-off, in hoping to make it sold-out very, very soon. The chosen show was “Good Morning America” (aka. GMA) and they appeared on it today, August 19th. There, they performed the club hit and EP’s lead single “Do It Again”. Although it was 8am, Robyn put on an entertaining show. She got so into the thumping beat she even took off her oversize jacket, and did a little fun dancing.
However, it wasn't the live performance the highlight of this morning's Robyn and Röyksopp GMA appearance, but the interview. Oh boy. This had to be one of the most awkward interviews I’ve seen in a long time. Are Robyn and Röyksopp fluent in English? Is Robyn super shy? Do you have the answers to these questions? Because I'm blank! It was Robyn and Röyksopp’s opportunity to plug their music and their US tour, but instead they said nothing. Well, only a very few, monosyllabic words! WTF?
