Really interesting interview with her
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/21/arts/music/robyn-honey-interview.html
― kitchen person, Saturday, 22 September 2018 15:08 (five years ago) link
it doesn't mention royksopp at all, weirdly (?)
― StanM, Saturday, 22 September 2018 16:32 (five years ago) link
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.

yeah, I don't get their layout either - is this a mobile/tablet view or something?

happy to know from that NYT profile that the rest of the album won't sound much like Missing U, which was ok but kind of a boring retread of everything she's done better before.
― Roz, Tuesday, 25 September 2018 08:23 (five years ago) link
xp well, her name is Robin
― niels, Tuesday, 25 September 2018 08:28 (five years ago) link
Her real name is Robin, so that might be not a typo
― Betting Eighty Hams (sic), Tuesday, 25 September 2018 08:28 (five years ago) link
i really like "missing u" but it did worry me some b/c it's not much of a step forward stylistically
― dyl, Wednesday, 26 September 2018 01:52 (five years ago) link
Title track is finally out, and it's great.
― self-clowning oven (Murgatroid), Wednesday, 26 September 2018 18:36 (five years ago) link
this is fantastic!
and did the La Bagatelle Magique EP really get no discussion here when it came out a few years back? i still really like it
― ufo, Wednesday, 26 September 2018 19:00 (five years ago) link
the mailing list message is so polite!"If you want to, you can pre-order my album Honey now <3 "
― StanM, Wednesday, 26 September 2018 20:14 (five years ago) link
:-/
It's not that polite to ask tell us three times, Robyn. We get it.
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 26 September 2018 20:16 (five years ago) link
Honey is so gorgeous. That bass sounds so incredible and warm on headphones. Then those little Moments In Love vocal affects appear and I'm done. I really liked Missing U, but this blows it away.
― kitchen person, Thursday, 27 September 2018 01:22 (five years ago) link
i just looked this up on YouTube and it is great.
have i told this story? i met her a few years back, she was in Los Angeles and she was telling me that she was trying to lay down some tracks with Snoop Dog, not sure if she did this on purpose but she left behind a CD with some tracks that they were trying to record. so i actually have a CD with some unfinished tracks with Snoop Dog, i believe the song did come out but i have like five different rough mixes of it.
― Bee OK, Thursday, 27 September 2018 01:31 (five years ago) link
is "u should know better" the last robyn/snoop collab to have been released?
― dyl, Thursday, 27 September 2018 02:04 (five years ago) link
okay "honey" definitely restores my optimism that the album will not only be good but also cover some unexpected territory for her
― dyl, Thursday, 27 September 2018 02:12 (five years ago) link
I keep on expecting Adam Driver's voice over top of it.
― self-clowning oven (Murgatroid), Thursday, 27 September 2018 06:23 (five years ago) link
"Honey" is so gorgeous, much better than "missing u"
― Roz, Friday, 28 September 2018 14:06 (five years ago) link
recently relistened to everything she's done from the self-titled onwards and was a little surprised to find my favourite of her releases these days is by far Love Is Free
seems like there's a good chance of Honey besting that though, looking forward to hearing it in a few hours
― ufo, Thursday, 25 October 2018 10:45 (five years ago) link
Here she's going through the album track by track at p'fork: https://pitchfork.com/features/song-by-song/robyn-breaks-down-every-song-on-her-new-album-honey/
― willem, Thursday, 25 October 2018 11:49 (five years ago) link
this is definitely her best and most interesting album! much closer to the Love Is Free EP than anything else she's done
― ufo, Thursday, 25 October 2018 13:06 (five years ago) link
where are you listening to this?
― evol j, Thursday, 25 October 2018 13:32 (five years ago) link
in australia
― ufo, Thursday, 25 October 2018 13:38 (five years ago) link
that is brilliant, if I have an aussie Spotify account do I get early access to all releases?
― niels, Thursday, 25 October 2018 13:39 (five years ago) link
aw, i want to live in the future where new Robyn albums are out.
― evol j, Thursday, 25 October 2018 15:58 (five years ago) link
this is one of my favorite tracks on the album https://www.adultswim.com/music/singles-2018/12

Because It's In The Music is so beautiful. One of the best things she's ever done.
― kitchen person, Thursday, 25 October 2018 22:23 (five years ago) link
extremely disappointed that a flamenco solo was left off of Because It's in the Music
― ufo, Friday, 26 October 2018 04:46 (five years ago) link
"baby forgive me" is extraordinarynot really feeling "because it's in the music"?? it wants to be a big, lush donna summer number but the arrangement/instrumentation just isn't there imo. lol @ actual "french kiss" in "send to robin immediately". is lil louis getting paid?
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Friday, 26 October 2018 08:40 (five years ago) link
yeah, he's credited

for me it is like a patrice rushen song reduced to synth + drum machine + strings. it is completely awesome

also, wow, this is the best robyn album
love it, "ever again" is a beaut of a closer
