Robyn

And "Be Mine!" is one of the best singles of the year. Hurrah!, for Robyn.

I hope this gets a UK release soon too. I'm so excited.

"I know you wanna hate, but you're all wack! Konichiwa, bitches!". Or similar.

God, she's great.

I hate looking at that cover.

And this might be the one & only time I'll agree w/ Dom P. Ever. Forever ever.

'Konichiwa Bitches' is just begging for an electrohouse remix: fantastic lyrics, great delivery, beat which sounds like a reject Casio demo.

I like 'Who's That Girl?' too, really should get round to the rest of the album as I'll clearly love most of it, but I can't be arsed to import or download.

I am also surprised Tom doesn't like "Be Mine."

"Who's That Girl?" goes from strength to strength, THIS is my single of the year now (assuming it gets a release, anywhere, ever)

"Who's That Girl" is out as a single now in Sweden, the remixes don't seem to do it for me that I've heard. SUrely "Crash & Burn Girl" has to be a single too, D-D-D-DOWN is a MIGHTY HOOK bit.

(I think Utada is out in the UK this year)

What on earth would improve it? An ODB, Ludacris, Missy Elliot guest verse??

I'm pretty big on every song on the record, even the trio of ballads at the end that no one ever seems to talk about.

My favs are the Kim Ann Foxman remix of “Honey” and the Black Madonna one for “Between The Lines”, but I haven’t heard the ones that came after the latter. I’m most curious about the Preditah and Yaeji remixes.

The Young Marco remix of "Baby Forgive Me" is unsurprisingly great

^^ was just about to post that. It’s gorgeous.

last night a google notification popped up on my phone with only a track list and the text NEW MUSIC FROM ROBYN 'ONE' (2020)

after some fruitless googling I finally found https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/robyn7

>:(

she did something with her hair, I think

this is great:

i was gonna say she should release an ironic remix of "beach 2k20" but apparently there's no shortage of ppl who actually think beachgoing is a good idea

the Yaeji remix of Beach2k20 was just released on 12" with a new Louie Vega remix yesterday, but I don't know how ironic it is

oh my god at remixes by Avalon Emerson AND Floorplan, this album truly is a gift that continues to give

i wish i liked that floorplan remix more

I love that Floorplan remix. The clicktracky feel reminds me of those South African house tracks from ten years ago that I’ve been digging recently.

i like the floorplan remix, the sax lick makes it pop for me, otherwise a little hood-by-numbers

avalon emerson remix is clearly on another level though

the rest of the remixes (i think there were 6? 8? total) did not sound great to me but i barely touched them so ymmv

Hello.

took me a second to determine that suggested August 5 and not "Part 5 of 8"

woo sounds potentially good

oh damn

I thought she was rating her song 5 out of 8.

I thought she was clarifying that this was simply five-eights of the full track

I think you are not Europeans

how dare you

I guess it's a song she's featured in with Channel Tres (who is v fun live when I saw him open for Robyn)

I mean I shouldn't say "I guess" since she literally posted about the song on social media

ayo

this rules

It's fine, doesn't nearly reach the heights of either Robyn or Channel Tres at their best but whatever

bigger question is who is this SG Lewis guy that I've literally never heard of until 24 hours ago, wikipedia says he's been around for like 2-3 years now? where have I been

i wondered the same after "experience" (victoria monét, khalid and him) came out. still haven't sought out much of his other work but he must be pretty good!

apologies if already posted but i just saw this for the first time and i’m basically a mess now

ugh i need new robyn

that was cool, glad they did the whole song and not just part. What was that from?

that was my question too. apparently maya rudolph had a show with martin short?? it lasted 6 episodes.

That sounds like plenty.

lol

For some reason I never checked out the album she did with Röyksopp until recently. It's really good! It was like a getting a surprise new Robyn album.

A new guest appearance

It's not quite We Are Family

One time, years ago, I requested "Dancing on My Own" at karaoke and it wasn't until I was on stage and the music started that I realized they were playing a karaoke version of the sad cover, not the original...

There's an NYT article about it as well that I found really charming.

One time, years ago, I requested "Dancing on My Own" at karaoke and it wasn't until I was on stage and the music started that I realized they were playing a karaoke version of the sad cover, not the original...

it really bums me out that the first link that pops up when you google "Dancing on My Own" is the stupid cover and not Robyn

i host karaoke and a few weeks ago someone requested dancing on my own and left the artist blank, so I assumed the Robyn version. When it started up she stomped a foot and yelled over to me “no not the dumb remix, the original!” and that was the day I learned about the famous cover version

I remember hearing local radio playing a poppers o'clock remix of the sad cover and feeling it was possibly the most redundant piece of music ever - just play the original!

on the new Louie Vega album, giving what I think might be one of her best performances ever

honey has aged really well. i know it's only 5 years old but it kinda feels like a lifetime ago.

Check out the Song Exploder on the title song. Great to hear the patient, slow evolution of the track into one of her best.

Honey remains one of the best albums ever.
