there are a couple more remixes from the 'Robyn' album available on her site if anyone is interested (just looked now).
also, there's a bunch of other stuff at this fan site (as there usually is at such places) - http://robynmusic.makes.it/ including, for -- Sororah T Massacre a video for "Keep This Fire Burning"

Yeah, this is where I got the "Be Mine" Meatboys remix. The other "Be Mine" remix I didn't like nearly as much.

one of the super weird things about her is that on video she doesn't look anything like any of her photographs.??! and is much cuter than i thought she was.

But there's a distinct...disingenuity about the whole affair -- utterly missing any of the air of vulnerability at the core of the best pop (and that goes for "Be Mine!" -- those lines don't hit half as hard as folks here want them to). I almost get the sense that this whole fascination with persona--with creating this Sassy Swedish Superhott--is so much the focus of this that the failures, regrets that would make it really resonate have a token feel about them. As a result, we get the cartoon R&B songs on one hand and indistinct, desperately-heartbroken ballads on the other -- no in between.
And that's saying nothing of the fact that it's more melodies than tunes -- but that's a whole other argument to be made...

Please tell me you're not a Rachel Stevens fan ok?
There's so much vulnerability in those ballads near the end (which people seem to hate...)
― Merry Christmas (fandango), Thursday, 22 December 2005 03:11 (eighteen years ago) link
As for the ballads, the best song on this record for me was the last. But it's not just the vulnerability that makes it so.

that's as much robyn's fascination as her fans'.

Yes, she plays around with a little bit of fronting in her songs so what? There is more than that to them as well, it's not all about the image.
Hmmm, watch her videos or that live gig linked from one of her fansites... She isn't as ICE COOL UBERSWEDISH as people are imagining her to be here at all. She actually seems very unafraid of cracking that perception and looking a touch ridiculous (like a silly human being) now & then.

Swedes speak English better than the English. I think she sounds 'American' half the time anyway ('don't be eating in my jacuzzi' etc. - that is such an Anerican thing to say arf).
