Robyn

duh. should have scrolled down, spotify is 23 tracks already (2 every week still?)

That new Mr. Tophat EP featuring Robyn is too good

kind of wish she'd stop faffing around with these electronic collaboration EPs and get on with the next proper album

yup

it's happening

... very slowly

last ep with tophat was dope

new music coming at last!

it's leaked - and it goes hard

wow - after 8 years and all those not-amazing dance EPs i really did not have confidence she still had the impulses i fell in love with way back when but... this is wonderful!

look i don't wanna take full credit for this solely because my six-week-old daughter's middle name is 'robyn' but i think i deserve say 75% of the credit

This is a brilliant return. I'm so relieved!

Hope the album announcement comes soon.

she's still as good as ever, super excited for this album between this and Honey

can somebody link goddamn it

please please please

need this

this might work but is blocked in some places

blocked 4 me :(

i will VPN it tonight

I like this, but also it drives me crazy the same way With Every Heartbeat did. It's all build without the explosive payoff. I need some goddamn snare and not just kick and high hat.

the not-amazing dance eps were still very solid!

It's streaming here. I like it (the synths especially) but think I prefer Honey - https://newhothiphop.co/robyn-missing-u/amp

i absolutely love the top hat ep - especially disco devato (sp)

hm ok this is cute but also feels really contrived and self-canonizing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICiyddrnqdw

Five years from Robyn to the Body Talk EPs felt like an eternity. Her cancelling both solo tours and the Royksopp tour to Australia might be contributing, but eight years since Body Talk just feels like "I wonder if those EPs that never got CD releases were any good?"

but monument tho

that is a bop

non-film version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8o5BHH9U2Mg

brilliant stuff

'a bop' now simply refers to any good track regardless of how it sounds? gigi masin's latest album is full of bops

love this

yeah this needs to stop

Here is the way I started my day: with Robyn on Ibiza

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nzj5kMgfmc4

On or in? It's an island right?

oh i like the added percussion on "missing u" there

yes at the strongest crowd reaction being for "with every heartbeat" <3 inferior rewrite "dancing on my own" could never

only heard the term bop recently when it was used on the bicep thread..did not realize it was oversaturated, will recede

im confused why one of the tracks from the tophat EP is missing, and instead replaced by disco devato..was there other songs from these sessions released elsewhere

missing from what?

Dancing on my own
Missing U
Call your Girlfriend
With every Heartbeat

Robyn

Can’t wait

Really interesting interview with her

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/21/arts/music/robyn-honey-interview.html

it doesn't mention royksopp at all, weirdly (?)

Really weird:

Then [after supporting Coldplay in 2012] she all but vanished.

except for touring solo in the rest of 2012, playing a hometown stadium show in 2013, touring internationally with Royksopp in 2014 and 2015, and releasing half a dozen EPs and singles (plus appearing on a Neneh Cherry record) between 2014 and 2016.

They do say "There was a collaborative EP here, a gig there" after a huge photo of her, but to suggest that ...not putting out studio album after studio album in what amounts to one single calendar year was "the unthinkable" is bonkers, especially when it took her five years to co-write 13 songs before that, and Robyn has only ever released one studio album in the US, and that was in 1995.

(wait, it's a video embed, not a photo, but it still takes up a full "page" of screen.)
