Adding together two of my favorite things does not always equal success.

Adding together two of my favorite things does not always equal success.


I love The Police. And Robyn has been one of my favorite pop singers in recent years. So you would think that mixing the two would be as good as dropping a chocolate bar in my peanut butter, right? Well, maybe not. She covers "Message In A Bottle" on her latest single and, sadly, I think her choice to perform it as a near a capella guts the song of its urgency and charm. Or maybe I'm just being a curmudgeon. You be the judge.

I still think her most recent album is genius though, so let's not forget that.
