Smith also mentioned their conversations about fashion and their enjoyable studio sessions together, eagerly anticipating what Rodrigo’s future projects may bring.
At the recent Primavera Sound festival in Parc Del Forum, Rodrigo delivered a captivating 45-minute performance on the Occident stage. She treated the audience to a taste of her forthcoming album by performing tracks such as “drop dead” and “the cure,” alongside fan favorites like “bad idea right?,” “deja vu,” “all-american bitch,” and “good 4 u.” With Robert Smith making a special appearance on stage to perform “what’s wrong with me” with her, the crowd was undoubtedly thrilled by the energy and charisma that the duo brought to the event.
