she was great on sound this week; guy in the trilby hat had clearly not thought AT ALL about what questions to ask her (him: "so what's robyn all about then?" robyn: "uhm" him: "like, describe yourself." robyn: "well first of all, i'm very good looking")

who were that immensely indie band at the end of that ep of Sound - it was like a C86 rerevival. something with pier in the title?

i fear for my pop soul in 2008

so yeah this album's fucking great

Yes it is but please Robyn when come back bring MORE MUSIC k thx xooxoxo

that Blak Neon remix of 'Dream On' is super

You're just making this stuff up now.

the Chandelier Volcano dub of 'Satellite Bitch' may be her real peak

It kind of grated on me after a while. For a stage I was well into the album and really getting it but then it just seemed...whiny. Maybe I need to re-listen. Its still a pretty decent record but its not great.

The Gyraffe Cock dub of "Cru$h On U" slays.

Chatting from her management's office in London, Robyn told us her next, as-yet-untitled, more dance-y release is due in June, with another one due "sometime after the summer." After that, she's playing it by ear. "Let's see how far we get," she said. The accelerated schedule is part of her plan to make music more fluidly without long breaks disrupting her creative flow.

wouldn't want any long breaks

http://www.robyn.com/ <---- new song: "fembots".

Fembots is great.

it is a catchy song.

apparently she's coming out with three "mini-albums" (EPs) this year??

Her new single is called "Fembots"? Way to kill any excitement on my part.

Hah, I admit to hating such a timely 2001 song title, but the song is great!

"fembots need love too" would be less pointless if it wasn't her first track since "The Girl And The Robot" ffs

guys, she is trying to tell you something

it's like, everything about her should combine to make something that i enjoy. but i don't think i like her voice or something! something about it seems ... oddly dead, to my ears.

"Fembot" is the worst song of the year. Worse than Heidi Montag.

"Fembot" is phenomenal.

fembomenal.

"Fembot" is meh and a little bit "ok I think we've had enough robots for a while, thank you". I quite like "Dancing On My Own" though.

the title "fembots" - and the other title "dancehall queen" - pissed me off so much that the merest mention of robyn's name to me right now is liable to send me into a RAGE BLACKOUT

listened to robyn again for the first time in maybe two, three years after really falling in love with her stuff - nowadays I don't know if I have time to her, she's a little too sincere/monochromatic - her emoting lacks the subtleties I've come to expect from my pop divas nowadays

Dancing On My Own is the best of her recent singles. She can emote all over my face.

Yeah. Fembot is fun but one note. Dancehall Queen doesn't do anything for me. But Dancing On My Own is a massive crying at the club anthem and is totally wonderful.

YES

like i get the feeling that she doesn't know exactly why she's singing this pop music that she's singing

not going to dispel any of the anhedonia talk

None of Dem

"dancing my own" is amazing

it's like if m83 wrote a 4 min synth pop song

glad i'm not the only one underwhelmed by body talk. "cry when you get older" is pretty solid, though it's still overshadowed by "the girl and the robot"

and by "cry when you get older" i mean "none of dem"

okay I can't really deny 'dancing on my own' it's a nice background tune.

I've finally heard this now. On first listen "Cry When You Get Older" is the real standout for me. It's got all those harmonies everywhere! And I love how the synth does a sort of call-and-response with Robyn's voice. I also like how unpredictable/complicated it is, it seems to dive and fold in on itself in interesting ways.

It's true that "Fembots" is pretty one-note but it is irresistable.

She really has gone totally into this shiny clean and crunchy sonic territory - everything gleams and glistens. Everything sounds like it's incredibly close-miked, like you're 1mm away from all the pistons and churning robo-parts. I'd like to hear her mix it up a little - like the kind of sound she used on "Keep This Fire Burning" for instance - or just some kind of other textures, roughed-up a little for variety.
