Robyn

The last time we heard from Robyn, it was 2008. The diminutive Swede was riding high after top ten hits with bittersweet, orchestral-pop hit 'Be Mine' and anthemic dance ballad 'With Every Heartbeat'. The latter song went to number 1 in the UK, shortly after the release of the self titled album, Robyn was nominated for a Grammy. Not only did these feats provide a brilliant backdrop to the Platinum selling album from which they sprang, but the success of Robyn was the high point of a comeback which saw the one-time teen popstar reinventing her career on her own terms. Now with a fresh release, Body Talk PT 1 sees her joining forces with Robyn producer Ã…hlund once again, which is one reason why the album, though only eight songs long, takes you from techno to dancehall to acoustic ballads and nostalgic Swedish folk songs in one seamless journey, and still sounds undeniably like a Robyn record. Each song on Body Talk PT 1 represents the many sides to this unique, thoughtful, uncompromising artist.Over 14s
