the Robyn thread

[drewbilation]

She is Robyn. The most killingest pop star on the planet. A pint-sized atom bomb dispensing wisdom in three-minute modernist pop bulletins on the post-adolescent condition. Robin Miriam Carlsson was born in Stockholm, Sweden and spent the first seven years of her life touring with her director father and actress mother in their Constructivist-inspired theatre company. At the age of 13 she was discovered by Swedish pop singer Meja when singing a sad, self-written song about her parents' divorce in a school workshop. Already exploding in Sweden, The UK, France and Australia, Robyn has set her sights on America and is planning a pop overthrow.

she will be releasing her newest, self-titled album in the US on April 29th, as well as her new single, "Who's That Girl," in the UK on April 28th.

Wow, I was just about to make this thread.

Can't wait for her American release!!

YES~! dokidokisuru, we always end up liking the same music. lol
Robyn is awesome. Simple as that. I'm really glad to have a great pop artist in the US now. FINALLY ~








(besides my Madge of course...)

i luuuurve robyn! she's so funky! and this whole re-releasing of the Robyn album makes me love the songs even more! Fingers crossed that the US realises that this girl kicks rear-ends!

i'd list my favourite songs, but i'd be here all day i think.

oh oh! and has everyone heard her "message in a bottle" (cover of a The Police song) snippet on her myspace? *excited squeal* it sounds great! i love that song!

*sigh* if only she would tour australia (and not as some part of a music festival with other bands which i have no interest in)

Haha I looove Robyn, With Every Heartbeat got me addicted to her <33
Not sure about her eyebrows though

Who's That Girl got me addicted. Robyn is such an amazing album. I love Curriculum Vitae, it makes me LOL every time.

[drewbilation]

it was "With Every Heartbeat" for me, too. more specifically, it was Girls Aloud's cover version that got me interested in hearing the original (which I loved), and then that got me into Robyn.

[Halla]

better late than never I guess, this album was out here in 2005 and I'm so over it already

it's a good album tho

[JUICYxJEWEL]

She is milking it for all it's worth LOL.

Does anyone know if the Scandinavian original had a different version of Bum Like You. I've heard people saying they prefer the original, but can find nothing about it.

And is 'Tomteverkstan' Bionic Woman?

[mi|kshake]

I really like Who's That Girl!

mi|kshake~

Bionic Woman is the interlude that goes "goodevening passengers, this is your captain speaking, we're going down..." (or something like that) the perfect intro to Crash & Burn Girl -- i love that song!

I've had the album since 2005 too. She should have released it world wide then <_<. The wait was tooo long ;-;

[bondingo]

This album is going to flop big time here in the US, as in worse than Kylies and Utada's :\

[criminal]

Eh, I only like With Every Heartbeat, sry2say. x_x

I worry that this could happen -- to me, it seems that Americans have totally different tastes to other countries...

[fanmail]

KONICHIWA *****ES IS FRIGGIN' HOT.

that is all. =D

[Ayumi-Yummi]

I'm gonna see her in SF, shocking though that tickets are STILL for sale! It's a shame, she's so amazing. WEH was a big dance hit on the radio here. I think the album will do good, she already received so many positive reviews from publications.

[♥ you!]

WHY IS SHE STILL RELEASING SINGLES FROM 'ROBYN?'

The album is amazing and all but like, when you've been listening to the same material since 05/06..

*
oh wait the album was just released to the U.S April of this year. w/e I want new material. she was milked this album long enough
