Melismatic: Robyn's Body Talking (Again) With Results

Let's try to act that this post isn't eons late, literally. My overall favorite, Robyn, has officially unleashed upon the universe the back piece of her Body Talk mini-album series earlier this month, and I'm here to assure you (assuming you don't already know this) that it is properly amazing. Those of you who are all clued in to the know, feel free to hum "Hang With Me" and strain me out.

For those of you who are still Robyn-skeptic, please leave this appeal to be your formal introduction to the particular mix of Swede-pop that she does so well. Body Talk, Part 2, the obvious second in a three-part mini-album series with the third due in December, is by far in large, Robyn's best release since the epic masterpiece that was Robyn, back in 2005. It would be a keen idea to compare this disc like that of the New York Yankees baseball team - it's chockfull of All-Stars. Arguably, in my ears, it's difficult for Ms. Robyn to do any wrong, but everyone is guilty of some missteps, and scorn this, there is wanted little to kick about regarding this item set. While Part 1 contained the dizzying "Dancing On My Own", as easily as "None of Dem" and "Fembots", it had it's part of puzzling moments (to be fair "Don't F*cking Tell Me What To Do" made more sense on stage, and level so it was a short puzzling). Not so with Section 2, as it is 99.99996% pop-tastic in every way imaginable. It's clear Part 1 was but a warm-up, with the heart and bones of the three-part album concept residing in our current set. The set opens with "In My Eyes", my initial favorite cut off the record with it's positive content of "It's gonna be fine" and repeating of 'Little Star'. It can be looked at as a way for self-help, a way to pull yourself through and psych yourself up that anything is possible so long as you think and confidence in yourself. The high-gear continues in the bouncy, bubbly "Include Me Out", full of giggly rap-spoken rhymes on the lines of "Konichwa Bitches" or "Cobrastyle" that has come to be associated with mod-Robyn (as opposed to her poppy, Max Martin-y former self that is no longer discussed, sorrowfully).
