Also in 2010, she dueted with fellow Icelander (and One Little Indian labelmate) Olof Arnalds on a track called "Surrender" from Arnalds's new album, Innundir skinni,[37] and performed a duet with Antony and the Johnsons on the album Swanlights. The song is titled "Flétta."[38]
On 20 September 2010, Björk performed her version of "Gloomy Sunday" at designer Alexander McQueen's memorial in St. Paul's cathedral in London.

The project will be available "on limited 12-inch, CD, and digital download sometime this year".[44]
