Robyn

Robyn's self-titled album has finally made its way over to the States. I am certainly glad it did, as it's an awesome album. It's hard to believe it's been years since I got my first taste of this album - the excellent single "Be Mine!" My next exposure to the material was the heartwrenchingly beautiful "With Every Heartbeat." From there, the release earlier this year of The Rakamonie EP really left me ready for this album, and now I am gratified.

Robyn brims with both personality and musicality. The moods are diverse, but the results are always the same - pop gems. Of the tracks I hadn't previously heard, "Who's That Girl" is the one that has made the most immediate impact on me. Excellent song. Other standout tracks not previously mentioned: "Konichiwa Bitches," "Handle Me" (both mixes), "Bum Like You," and "Dream On."
