The princess and Prince

- Qui redoutes-tu de croiser par hasard ?
- J’aurais peur de croiser Prince. Je serais super excitée, je ne saurais même pas quoi lui dire ! Quoique si,  j’adorerais lui dire "Merci pour ton incroyable musique" mais je pense que je serais tellement tétanisée que rien ne sortirait de ma bouche !

- Who would you be afraid of bumping into?

- I would be afraid of bumping into Prince. I would be super excited, I wouldn't even know what to say! Although yes, I would love to tell him "Thank you for your amazing music", but I think I would be so paralyzed that nothing would come out of my mouth!

Four and a half months later, Kimbra and Prince crossed paths at the 55th Annual Grammy Awards...

Gotye, Kimbra and Producer François Tétaz accept the 

Record of the Year Grammy Award  from Prince for 

"Somebody That I Used To Know" at the 55th annual Grammy 

Awards on February 10, 2013 in Los Angeles, California.

UPDATE (December 2015):

The SoundCloud link above doesn't work anymore. The track has been removed. Apparently, Prince's legal boys don't want you to listen to Kimbra's live cover of "I Wanna Be Your Lover", even if it is a poor quality audio shared in a non-profitable way as an act of appreciation for both artists. Okay, I respect this but now live in fear of getting the water cut off every time I sing "Purple Rain" in the shower.
