Robyn’s Met Gala Playlist Is An Absolute Joy

It features Kraftwerk, Lil Louis, Janet Jackson, and more...

Robyn has crafted a special Met Gala themed platlist.

The Swedish artist attended the glitzy event for the first time in 2019, and felt absorbed by the subsequent 2020 exhibit About Time: Fashion and Duration.

The Met Gala was due to be held this month, but coronavirus has scuppered its plans – that said, Robyn has crafted a playlist for Vogue that encapsulates some of her feelings towards the event.

Opening with Janet Jackson, it's a superb playlist, one that acts as a kind of guide to the Met Gala while also revealing a few key influences on her own work.

Lil Louis – the house producer whose music was so pivotal to the formation of Robyn's 'Honey' – appears, alongside Kraftwerk, Prince, The Pharcyde, and more.

Eclectic and genuinely fun, it's worth a listen.
