The singer is currently on tour in Australia, where she played a two-night residency at Melbourne’s Forum Theatre following a stint opening for The 1975. Polachek is playing her most recent album ‘Desire, I Want To Turn Into You‘, which features both Grimes and Dido on the track ‘Fly To You’.
However, Polachek decided to give the collaboration an extra twist last night (December 11). Instead of singing their verses, Polachek sang Grimes’ ‘Delete Forever’ and Dido’s ‘Thank You’ over the instrumental to ‘Fly To You’.
Now the singer has dropped three new versions to celebrate the second anniversary of the release of the track, remixed by Doss, Sega Bodega and Nikki Nair.
“‘Bunny Is A Rider’ is a summer jam about being unavailable,” Polachek said of the new track. “Bunny is slippery, impossible to get ahold of. Maybe it’s a fantasy, maybe it’s a bad attitude. But anyone can be bunny, at least for three minutes and seventeen seconds.”
Caroline Polachek has shared her distaste for the label ‘female artists’, saying: “gender is not a genre.”
In a new interview with The Telegraph, the singer – who released new album ‘Desire, I Want To Turn Into You’ back in February – said that gender isn’t something she considers in music she loves.
Kate Bush, Björk and Fiona Apple were foundational to me, in terms of redefining what music could be. But no more so than Brian Eno, David Bowie, Pink Floyd and Radiohead,” she said. (Read more on Telegraph)
Caroline Polachek is a rare talent amid the banality of modern pop. Her second album stands out as a glittering showcase for her encyclopedic musical knowledge and formidable voice. She’s written for Beyoncé and Travis Scott, collaborated with next-wave artists like Charli XCX and PC Music, and toured with the likes of Dua Lipa.
