CMU Approved
Approved: Fever Ray acceptance speech
By Andy Malt | Published on Monday 25 January 2010
Award acceptance speeches are so formulaic, aren’t they? Thanks to everyone involved. Check. My manager. Check. Mum and Dad. Check. God (if you’re so inclined). Check. Everyone else I forgot. Check. Maybe cry a little bit. There just aren’t enough hoods, masks and gurgling, I think you’ll all agree.
Thankfully, Fever Ray, aka Karin Dreijer Andersson, is here to change all that. Her acceptance speech at last week’s P3 Guld awards in Sweden ranks up their with the all time greats. Arriving on stage to receive the award for Best Dance Act, her appearance was short but certainly memorable. The effort and discomfort she went through for this minute of stage time is worth an award in itself. So, let’s consider this CMU Approval as such.
