New music: Erato – Call Your Girlfriend

On Thursday Robyn performed her break-up anthem Call Your Girlfriend on Ellen DeGeneres's talkshow , performing a backwards roll mid-performance before dry-humping the ground. Impressive perhaps, but can she sing the song while tapping out a beat using three margarine tubs? We'll probably never know, but it's certainly something fellow Swedes Erato can do, as they prove in this black and white video filmed in a kitchen. Using tubs to form the beat and interspersing it with perfectly timed handclaps and delicate harmonies, it's a lovely reinterpretation of a song that reconstructs the term bittersweet, making concern for the girlfriend seem like their main motivation – before Robyn sidles in and steals the prize.
