Robyn and Royksopp are releasing a mini album together next month.

The Girl & The Robot is one of my favourite songs of recent years so I'm very excited for this.

Great artwork. Interesting to see a couple of songs on there almost ten minutes long.

pretty excited about this, could be very nice. the clip sounds good too.

the new john newman "stay with me" is "hang with me" slowed down to funereal pace and bullshit gospel accompaniment

sorry my mistake, the newman song is actually ripping off "won't back down" by tom petty...

wrong thread

it's also by sam smith rather than newman i think

lol yes

New single is fantastic.

Just realized that there will be no ill-conceived Diplo productions on the mini-album. Yay!

New single is fantastic.

This is not real, by the way. Some Popjustice forum poster decided to put together the already-released snippets of the song.

Oh right. I thought it was more or less the full song. Sounds promising then. Apparently it comes out on Monday so not long to until we hear it properly.

Love the bridge.

Curious about the song at the end.

Lyrically it's not the most inspiring song but the music I love everything else about it. The last minute sounds so great and gives me Pet Shop Boys vibes.

it's the sort of scandibanger that should've been all over the icona pop album(s)

the way she sings "ah-gain" repeatedly kinda reminds me of hyph mngo

this is pretty nice

This is already on iTunes. No idea if this going to be a hit or not.

The "We should not be friends" bit is where the song really gets amazing.

seems like basically anything can be a hit in the UK these days so who knows.

the bridge is really something - the tremor in robyn's voice, the way everything just seems to endlessly rise and rise

Pretty dope. I'm a longtime fan of Girl and The Robot and this ain't on that level but it's worth a dozen listens easy.

i'm going with a big nnnnnnopes on this one :/

It's....okay? It's like she listened to Femme Fatale two months ago and decided to reproduce it.

Oh shit yeah, I've been thinking it reminds me of something since I heard it. Just realised it's I Wanna Go.

Still really like it though.

i guess there are some femme fatale-y production tricks on display but i heard it as a sped-up synthesis of "with every heartbeat" and "indestructible"

new one's okay. hard to live up to this, though, which i've been listening to a lot over the past few days

still one of the best pop songs of the last 10 years.

Yeah I agree. Along with The Girl & The Robot, With Every Heartbeat, Be Mine, Who's That Girl, Dream On and Call Your Girlfriend she's going to have one amazing singles collection one day.

lol @ pitchfork naming this best new track

nothing will beat Dancing on My Own, so we just have to deal, embrace the new even tho we know the truth.

the EP should be interesting. A couple of the tracks are almost 10 mins long

I thought "Hang With Me" was a great single too.

Hang With Me is so underappreciated, I think - that's my favorite Body Talk song

^^^

"hang w/me" not QUITE as good as the non-electro version of "bum like you" imo but that's some pretty fine hair splitting

nothing will beat Dancing on My Own, so we just have to deal, embrace the new even tho we know the truth.

yeah, this is truth. love her performance of that song from the letterman show, without reservation.

Non-electro Bum Like You totally the most underappreciated and best S/T song!

electro bum like you v duff

otm

hang with me is my fav body talk song too

Also hate what they did to Bum Like You on the reissue. It was probably my favourite song on there originally.

for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xFHR4lIbzA

the second verse is just FFFFFFUUUUCK so good, so all-time, the way she says "that's all right" off-mic, everything

hadn't heard that new bum like you version. wow that's disappointing.

they also similarly ruined robotboy altho i'm not sure anyone on earth other than me cares about that song

love the original "Bum Like You" (and "Hang WIth Me") love

You can't actually buy the old Bum Like You anywhere anymore, right? Like, it's not on iTunes or any 'in print' CD pressings or anything.

nope. i found a copy of the swedish version of the album for that + the original robotboy

You can still get the Swedish version on Amazon pretty cheaply.

this one:

the CD sleeve is pretty cool on this one, every page has exactly the same photo except her face has been subtly photoshopped to look like a slightly different person on each page, freaked me out for awhile
