Forbes commented of the list which also included acts such as Adele and Rihanna : `` In sum they represent the entrepreneurial, creative and intellectual best of their generation. Individually, they are engaging, surprising and incredibly hardworking. '' Mumford sang a cover of `` Dink 's Song '' with Oscar Isaac for the 2013 Coen brothers film Inside Llewyn Davis.
