Robyn: Fembot
If you are unaware of the fact that Robyn has shed her saccharine-sweet, bubblegum pop persona and upgraded into a top notch electro-pop songwriter, then you must have been living under a rock within the past few years. When Robyn first made a name for herself in the States with sappy songs like “Do You Know (What It Takes)” and “Show Me Love” during the 90s, she was forgettable. In fact, she was so forgettable that we didn’t really hear from her again until she released her self-titled album on her own label, Konichiwa Records, after being inspired by Swedish electro duo, The Knife.
Robyn was finally released in the States during 2008 but because it was only a re-release for us, most fans already knew all of the songs. The pop star’s transformation definitely made my ears perk up and the album became one of of my most-played of the year.
Now, after having such success by doing things her own way, Robyn’s recently announced the news of three upcoming albums. The first one up is titled Body Talk pt. 1 and the first taste we get from her on “Fembot” isn’t bad. It continues her robotic themes from the last album and still maintains the quirkiness she provided on past songs such as “Handle Me” and “Konichiwa Bitches.” Check it!
[...] The latter is more of an enjoyable listen for me, but take a listen to the new Robyn tracks below to make your own conclusions. You can also listen to “Fembot” here. [...]
