HOW… How in the world did you elevate this incredible song to an entirely new level? EXCELLENTLY Done!

this woman is killing me swifty, aggressively and violently with her level of beauty, grace, and intellegence; let's not even mention her silk vocals

Robyn is one of my favorite performers from Postmodern Jukebox -- she's the reason I began listening to them.

Robyn, you are much more talented than the people being played on radio today! A true superstar.

Miss you with PMJ, So happy you're still putting these covers out.

If you mean she pretty like Morticia, I guess so!

If any singer can turn a sad song on its head, transform it from a musical downer to an "upper," then Robyn Adele Anderson is surely one for the job. Who can forget Robyn's jaunty interpretation of "Careless Whisper?" Now, we have Robyn's take on this famous song of sad recollection. Here, our little songbird plays a character who refuses to "die" softly. Rather, she seems to rejoice in recalling the little death of a catharsis which has left her feeling liberated and triumphant: someone else (she realizes) has known her pain and has survived the experience to sing about it, as will Robyn's character. Good ol' Fred Nietzsche once observed: “What doesn't kill us makes us stronger.” In her jazz interpretation of this standard, Robyn portrays a character who is no pity package --- making this well performed "cover" both interesting and justifiable.

I'm think you miss the point. The original was not sad at all, but the voice of an impassioned lover enthralled, ever intertwined, with her mate. Its late night, droplets from the rain are running down the glass panels, lighted city skyline distorted through THE droplets, and the lovers on the middle of the floor locked eyes to eyes in an embrace, love making so slow and intense it hurts. That's the original.

From when RF introduced this song in the '70s, and then in the '80s by The Fugees, I aways imagined it being performed in a swing tempo but never heard it done that way until today. Totally worth waiting for. Thank you so much Robyn Adele. You really nailed it for me.

The Fugees were _well_ into the '90s - 1996, to be exact.

never thought my search for a jazz version of this song would come to an end

I am 68 years old and think you are as good a female singer as I have ever heard !

watching Georgia play that bass is beautifully hypnotic.

Wow that middle section! I love the Billy Joel vibe of it, like his 70's stuff. And of course Robyn's vocal is killing it as always! The song is a classic and this is a powerful version.

I can't get enough of this video. I have to listen to it every single day. Robyn gifts us with the quintessence of talent, style and beauty.

GAAAH! One of my all time favorite songs since I was a kid listening to the 45 on my parent's record player!!! I LOVE this!

What a wonderfull voice she has. She's my favorite singer today

I cant get over this song, listened to it 20 times in a row

Why has it taken me 60 years to discover this goddess of a woman?

Holy shit this was 6yrs ago Time flies when you're listening to good music

She belts out an amazing sound with no effort, just doesn’t get more beautiful than this!

Love the way this lady sings! That little hip swing and those eyes!

I was in the 10th grade when this song first came out. It's the song I still equate with the first girl I ever fell in love with. Even sung in this genre, the song is still great and doesn't lose anything.

My favorites are the ones like this, where you take an oldie and do it in another old time style. The inventiveness in all of your song covers is unparalleled, great video as always.

I love her voice she makes the most difficult covers possible. you go girl

Fab cover of “the ballad of Don McLean” originally composed by Lori Lieberman after she reluctantly went to one of his early shows and wrote the lyrics about how he made her feel. A little known fact in “post modern” world!!

Bravo Georgia Weber for the solo bass playing. It is one for glory!

I love the Lauren Hill/The Fugees cover of "Killing me softly". With that being said, I absolutely adore this style and flavor of this cover!

Aw, dat bass girl; Jesus! :D Err.... I mean, good skills :')

I come back to this and don't know if it's her voice or eyes that draws me back again.

Very nice song, great to listen whenever. 1:20 look at that drummer's smile, that guy is enjoying this!

My favorite of all of her covers so far.

Excelentes covers con esa voz tan privilegiada de verdad que excelente música les quedan al 💯 los covers con nuevos arreglos musicales.

You got my vote Robyn . What a breath of fresh air , an escape from what passes for music these days .

That was really good!

Amazing! I'm so glad you're continuing to do this; your voice is well-suited to this style.

I just LOVE this style of music you're making, and you're just _killin'_ it. Also, this band lineup is excellent. The piano player and bassist are just...mm! 👌 Major kudos to the drummer as well. I really enjoy seeing musicians my age embracing these older / classic techniques.

Boom...she's so cool..talent & stunning...😊

Just love the visuals and voice of Robyn,the group does a great jpb

Wow just wow

thank you so much. I grew up with this song.....and I really love your version...much more moving! Please keep the videos coming.

this cover is so good I just opened my door and saw Sangwoo

Just love it! You are great 👍

Thanks Robynica. Came back again, to hear you again and your great singing....... Greetings from Los Angeles.

I so happy to have found your channel, hope you come to Brazil one day, you are amazing!

This is so great. You know there's one other song by Roberta Flack. One of the first times I heard it was during a company break and a woman had a cheap AM radio playing tunes. This 30 minute break was generally making telephone calls, chat, etc. But when her song--by Roberta Flake---came on of "the first time I ever saw your face" everything stopped and everyone not only listened to that little tinny radio radiating out these wonderful sounds but stopped what was going on in their lives. No one spoke and hardly anyone breathed as she progressed through that song and held everyone captive. If you can recreate that, you can do anything, Scott. It literally leaves you breathless. I know you can. It leaves you knowing her thoughts, her feelings, her pain, her wants. But when she ends on that one, final note that is so long sustained in the later version, even on a cheap, little radio years ago you don't forget, you don't want it to end, you want it to continue and then resolve to that tonic note (which some will not understand) and when i does, you feel so resolved, so released. You don't speak of it but you have transcended beyond what was basic music, and merged for a brief time with her soul. How can i otherwise express what I felt on that first time of hearing this song. You can do that, I'm sure; I've heard what you can do. To do that with that sustained, unwavering note is shear magic.

Donde quiera que te encuentro las razones son celebrar, gracias por como me toca tu talento querida Robyn Adele Anderson.

Wonderful version. Brilliantly performed. Che Brava Robyn

Outstanding.

Amazing, she is a clean voice!

Ok, I just found Robyn's page through an acquaintance. I have seen her on PMJ videos before and admire her work and vocal talent. But... And there's always a but with an opinion: I think this song was written to be sung with the emotion that Roberta Flack originally had and covers like the one Alyona Yarushina convey. It's ok to feel sad and hurt sometimes. That's why the song writers write songs that convey happiness, sadness, anger and any other emotions that we feel as humans. I want to feel sad when I am sad and maybe cry to let that emotion run its course. I like to feel happy when I'm happy and laugh. Anger, the same thing. This, by no means, is meant to cast shade on Robyn. As it takes talent to arrange a song in a completely different style. And having found Robyn's channel, I will continue to explore her talents. But, I will always have a "soft" spot for the original feeling of Roberta's "Killing Me Softly".

I sign in just to comment that the drummer's smiler at 1:23 killed me with cuteness

one of my favs...great job.

I've missed your singing. Amazing as always.

Thanks for this post! Grateful for KZread!

¡Qué hermosa canción! Robyn eres muy talentosa y bella. Felicidades por tu trabajo. Saludos desde Lima - Perú.

Excellent work, as always!

It was with done degree of skepticism that I opened this one. Roberts Flacks original came out at a rocky but special time in life and has stood unchallenged and untouchable all these years. I should have known better than to doubt. No fear. Robyn you once again put your touch to something known and special and make it come out special and magical. Best best wishes in all things! *melts*

La he amado desde la primera nota. Es buenísima

Robyn , girl , I love it!!! Great rendition of a great song!!
