Although her music can be as moody as it is effervescent, Robyn's Twitter announcement that her new album will be released sometime next year has me filled with excitement. Here are some of my favourite songs of hers (some of them live, but most of them are official releases with stylish and experimental videos).
For a great analysis of Robyn's most recent album, click here (brought to you by popmatters.com).
Bum Like You - Live
Be Mine - Live, Acoustic
Dream On
Cobrastyle (Cover Version)
The Girl and The Robot (with Royksopp) - Live
Handle Me
Also please watch Who's That Girl, which I wrote about here. I can't find a good quality version of the video to embed, so here's an audio version:
Robyn is a contradiction - neurotic yet soulful, boyish yet feminine, mainstream yet offbeat, confident yet insecure... perhaps like most people? She dares to represent a version of herself that is complex, raw, sensual, dynamic, tentative, hyper and numb. I love it.
Three more works, this time from her old stuff:
Show Me Love
Do You Know (What It Takes)
I Wish (Acapella)
And, since I'm on a roll, two songs of hers in Swedish!
Uti Vaar Hage - Live
En Dejlig Rosa - Live
And, because I'm on a roll, a really cool remix -
With Every Heartbeat (Tong & Spoon Wonderland Remix)
Psycho goes out to my ex-boyfriend (not the last one, or the one before that - oh yes, btw I'm single again):
And finally, on a feel-good note, Don't Stop The Music:
