Robyn and Royksopp have released a new second music video for their collaboration ’The Girl and the Robot.’
While the first music video looked to the past and used scenes from the iconic black and white film "Metropolis," the second video is all about the future. It is a vision where robots have evolved dramatically to the point where humans will start having them as lovers.
Here at Trend Hunter we’ve recently seen substitute teacher robots and robot DJs, so a robotic lover doesn’t seem that far-fetched.
