Robyn

Oh wow first time hearing this and the production is amazing throughout. Feel it’s too weird and subtle to be a the massive pop hit it deserves to be, unfortunately.

great album. listened to the whole thing 1.5 times stuck on the train home today.

It's so well suited to the warmth of her vocals.

Brilliant album, loving the 90s NY/deee-lite/pal joey vibes of Beach2k20. And the French Kiss sample is superbly deployed

(I don't think I've used my yearly allotment of Kate Bush comparisons, so some of her ad-libs remind me, strikingly, of The Sensual World/The Red Shoes. I wish I could pinpoint exactly which song; it's either "Rocket's Tail" or "And So Is Love")

i'm thinking aerial was an influence on this album

She did a "music that inspired the album" playlist on Spotify. The Sensual World is on it

Last night's show was a traet, as they say.

Somehow missed that she was touring! Perhaps because the new album ... had no impact?

GASP

i was late in getting tix for her show, which sold out in L.A. immediately. didn't want to pay a couple hundred, though it was briefly tempting. everyone i know who went to see her the other night said it was one of the best they'd seen in awhile.

Somehow missed that she was touring! Perhaps because the new album ... had no impact?

The presales crashed for days due to demand and tickets sold out in an hour or two. Why would they then spend money on advertising for months afterward?

yeah i missed the London tix, they sold out in a nanosecond

i think there's still MSG tix available but i dunno. She can pack a house!

That extended transition between 'Be Mine' and 'Because It's In The Music' had me practically in tears omg

Nice review and overview (referencing the LA show):

And a report on last night up here:

https://www.kqed.org/pop/109670/robyns-honey-tour-this-timeline-will-make-you-feel-like-you-were-there

I’ll be seeing her at Primavera Sound this year!

Your parents wouldn’t look at a photograph of Robyn and recognize her signature snaggletooth

wtf

that's a terribly written report

It's fantastic how big she is in the UK now, i mean.. 2 nights at Ally Pally is crazy, it seems just a few years back i was watching her in the basement of the University bar.

it was significantly more than a few years ago :)

I know right.. 2008 it turns out. She covered Buffalo Stance! No memory of this.

looks like she's closing her current shows with this remix of "Who Do You Love" which i'd never heard before and is really fantastic

Speaking of Robyn and Kindness

Almost exactly five years ago Kindness asked me to write with them on something beautiful they were working on and we wrote a song called Cry Everything together which is finally ready and released.https://t.co/7zF2Wcbznk pic.twitter.com/neDC8DqfCp

I’m so glad to be a part of this record with Todd Rundgren and Fabiana Palladino. Mostly I just want to say congratulations to Kindness on the release of this amazing piece of music that has that special feeling that makes me love your work so much. Now it’s out in the world 💜

thanks for the heads up there; queuing up

lol, i am very jealous; would've enjoyed that

that would have stressed me out

i will remain forever pressed that "dancing on my own" is the clear favorite among american robyn fans

looks fucking awful

you guys are fun

I saw Robyn live for the first time this week and it was emotional. Nicely picked setlist where the new songs slotted in with her older material very smoothly. She's such a star.

that would have stressed me out

yeah, I love Robyn and regret not getting tickets to this show, but not everyone on the subway loves Robyn and/or wants to be loudly sung at during their commute home (especially since it's "call your girlfriend"; sure hope no one who happened to be on the E train got dumped recently only to hear 500 randos singing the "dumping people rules" song at them)

It’s “Dancing On Your Own” they’re singing though, as noted above, not “Call Your Girlfriend”. (I’m all for people having a good time btw, both in or outside the subway)

“...On My Own” even

It’s “Dancing On Your Own” they’re singing though, as noted above, not “Call Your Girlfriend”. (I’m all for people having a good time btw, both in or outside the subway)

huh, the one upthread must have been a different video -- I could have sworn I saw someone post one the night of where it was "Call Your Girlfriend"

I thought it was nice

but if I encountered them irl I'd want to murder them all

She's coming back:

7/17/19 Philadelphia, PA @ The Mann Center
7/19/19 Brooklyn, NY @ Barclays Center
7/21/19 Chicago, IL @ Pitchfork Music Festival
7/25/19 San Francisco, CA @ Bill Graham Civic Auditorium
7/27/19 Inglewood, CA @ The Forum

Tickets on sale Friday, 10 am.

She was incredible when I saw her in Toronto.

Seeing her on Friday night!

Something coming from us tomorrow ✨ @blackmadonnachi pic.twitter.com/082xhY3TmL

oh yeah i'm into that

(sort of) on this cut from the first part of Mr Tophat's bonkers prog epic Dusk to Dawn, unveiling over the next 6 weeks. Part I alone is over an hour long.

oh wow didn't know there would be that much. Part one is great!

ooooh

lol at the moment it goes full on castlevania

more details on the three-part album - no more Robyn, but other collaborators of hers in future parts

Surprised no reports from the latest dates. Meantime, only just noticed this exists.

Seems like she’s sticking with the same setlist.

No need to mess with perfection.
