Robyn’s With Every Heartbeat is one of my favorite tracks off her acclaimed album Honey. And I’m glad I had the pleasure of experiencing it live when I caught Robyn on tour in San Francisco recently. But never did I expect to encounter the sort of transformation that Derry based singer songwriter Rosborough has given it on his new stripped back cover. With his scratchy, gravelly voice and a sparse guitar arrangement, he draws out the melancholia of the resilient anthem and moves our souls with his heartfelt delivery. Like any Robyn song, With Every Heartbeat is sad yet empowering. It embraces sorrow with gumption and strength. We find ourselves melting away to Rosborough’s gorgeous rendition, a track that accompanies the digital release of his single, Burn Blue, an epic and avocative song that launched the artist’s career in his native Ireland. Watch the video for Burn Blue below. Rosborough has just finished supporting Seafret on their European tour and will join Amy MacDonald on her UK/EU tour throughout March and April.
