Robyn and Royksopp are releasing a mini album together next month.
http://pitchfork.com/news/54757-robyn-and-royksopp-announce-new-mini-album-do-it-again-share-monument-preview/
The Girl & The Robot is one of my favourite songs of recent years so I'm very excited for this.
― Kitchen Person, Monday, 14 April 2014 19:50 (ten years ago) link
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
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 16 April 2014 15:26 (ten years ago) link
sorry my mistake, the newman song is actually ripping off "won't back down" by tom petty...
wrong thread
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 16 April 2014 15:28 (ten years ago) link
it's also by sam smith rather than newman i think

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

This is not real, by the way. Some Popjustice forum poster decided to put together the already-released snippets of the song.
― Herbie Handcock (Murgatroid), Tuesday, 22 April 2014 16:34 (ten years ago) link
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.
― Herbie Handcock (Murgatroid), Saturday, 26 April 2014 04:42 (ten years ago) link
Curious about the song at the end.
― Herbie Handcock (Murgatroid), Saturday, 26 April 2014 04:45 (ten years ago) link
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.
― Kitchen Person, Saturday, 26 April 2014 14:09 (ten years ago) link
it's the sort of scandibanger that should've been all over the icona pop album(s)
― all is fair in love and womp (monotony), Saturday, 26 April 2014 15:06 (ten years ago) link
the way she sings "ah-gain" repeatedly kinda reminds me of hyph mngo
― all is fair in love and womp (monotony), Saturday, 26 April 2014 15:07 (ten years ago) link
this is pretty nice

Lyric video.

This is already on iTunes. No idea if this going to be a hit or not.
― Kitchen Person, Wednesday, 30 April 2014 14:43 (ten years ago) link
The "We should not be friends" bit is where the song really gets amazing.
― Kitchen Person, Wednesday, 30 April 2014 14:45 (ten years ago) link
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
― ginuwine's cousin (monotony), Wednesday, 30 April 2014 23:46 (ten years ago) link
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 :/
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 1 May 2014 21:11 (ten years ago) link
It's....okay? It's like she listened to Femme Fatale two months ago and decided to reproduce it.
― guess that bundt gettin eaten (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 1 May 2014 21:12 (ten years ago) link
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.
― Kitchen Person, Friday, 2 May 2014 00:12 (ten years ago) link
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"
― ginuwine's cousin (monotony), Friday, 2 May 2014 00:33 (ten years ago) link
new one's okay. hard to live up to this, though, which i've been listening to a lot over the past few days
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TlwcQn5eBI
still one of the best pop songs of the last 10 years.
― Daniel, Esq 2, Friday, 2 May 2014 00:39 (ten years ago) link
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.
― Kitchen Person, Friday, 2 May 2014 00:47 (ten years ago) link
lol @ pitchfork naming this best new track
― dyl, Friday, 2 May 2014 01:02 (ten years ago) link
nothing will beat Dancing on My Own, so we just have to deal, embrace the new even tho we know the truth.
― obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Friday, 2 May 2014 01:14 (ten years ago) link
the EP should be interesting. A couple of the tracks are almost 10 mins long
― ginuwine's cousin (monotony), Friday, 2 May 2014 01:19 (ten years ago) link
I thought "Hang With Me" was a great single too.
― LeRooLeRoo, Friday, 2 May 2014 04:40 (ten years ago) link
Hang With Me is so underappreciated, I think - that's my favorite Body Talk song
― Walter Galt, Friday, 2 May 2014 09:30 (ten years ago) link
^^^
― Number None, Friday, 2 May 2014 09:38 (ten years ago) link
"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

yeah, this is truth. love her performance of that song from the letterman show, without reservation.
― Daniel, Esq 2, Friday, 2 May 2014 10:38 (ten years ago) link
Non-electro Bum Like You totally the most underappreciated and best S/T song!
― Walter Galt, Friday, 2 May 2014 10:49 (ten years ago) link
electro bum like you v duff
― conrad, Friday, 2 May 2014 11:04 (ten years ago) link
otm
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Friday, 2 May 2014 11:35 (ten years ago) link
hang with me is my fav body talk song too
― dyl, Friday, 2 May 2014 12:00 (ten years ago) link
Also hate what they did to Bum Like You on the reissue. It was probably my favourite song on there originally.
― Kitchen Person, Friday, 2 May 2014 14:48 (ten years ago) link

― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Friday, 2 May 2014 15:16 (ten years ago) link
the second verse is just FFFFFFUUUUCK so good, so all-time, the way she says "that's all right" off-mic, everything
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Friday, 2 May 2014 15:17 (ten years ago) link
hadn't heard that new bum like you version. wow that's disappointing.
― wat is teh waht (s.clover), Friday, 2 May 2014 16:14 (ten years ago) link
they also similarly ruined robotboy altho i'm not sure anyone on earth other than me cares about that song
― dyl, Friday, 2 May 2014 16:45 (ten years ago) link
love the original "Bum Like You" (and "Hang WIth Me") love
― sean gramophone, Friday, 2 May 2014 16:59 (ten years ago) link
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.
― Walter Galt, Friday, 2 May 2014 17:00 (ten years ago) link
nope. i found a copy of the swedish version of the album for that + the original robotboy
― dyl, Friday, 2 May 2014 21:53 (ten years ago) link
You can still get the Swedish version on Amazon pretty cheaply.
