"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.

The rest is compressed brilliance
I heard Surfjan for the first time today. It was as underwhelming as I'd expected.

Uh, me too, but I'd like to think that that's not the only reason I like Sufjan so much. Robyn has some really good songs ("Be Mine" is the clear standout here), but sorry, Illinois > Robyn.

The new Fiona Apple CD is crap, though, Matthew.
But anyway, ROBYN -- 8.2 was definitely too low. And it's a serious issue, because Pitchfork readers only seem to flock to mega-ratings -- and WHY DID THIS NOT GET A MEGA-RATING. While I'm content to yell about this album to an indie-rock brick wall, veryone would love this album if it was hip.

PFM gives out a gazillion reviews in the 7-8.4 range. Thus, if an album is in a genre you don't normally listen to (eg: pop), and it gets one of those generic 'pretty good' ratings, I can't imagine someone going out of their way to hear it. If it rates a 9.7, say, there's something compelling there - "maybe this is actually good and worth hearing, even if I don't normally like that stuff".

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
― Roz, Saturday, 16 October 2021 06:25 (two years ago) link
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
― Clay, Saturday, 16 October 2021 07:54 (two years ago) link
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!

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.
