Myspace
Gaga's got her crazy wardrobe, Rihanna's feeling empowered on the dancefloor, Christina's gone burlesque, Pink's toasting her hits but no one smashed the dancefloor or ipods with dance-pop anthems full of raw emotion set to heart pumping beats in 2010 like Robyn.
Body Talk, the full-length 15 track release brings her Body Talk trilogy full circle, with 5 new songs along with 5 from apiece of the previous installments, Robyn has produce the best dance-pop album of 2010.
The album's lead off single 'Indestructible' is ballad covered by pulsing synthesized chords, heavy bass and wish her previous singles 'Hang With Me' and 'Dance On My Own' honest songwriting that make Robyn the every girl's pop star without a touch of false pretenses. The album's new additions are adequate to the project of the former two installments, 'Call Your Girlfriend' Robyn sings from the prospect as the former woman, while 'Time Machine' reunites Robyn with the same team that brought her fame in the late 90s with 'Show Me Love,' for unapologetic pop at it's finest while 'Stars 4-Ever' is some jazz in full bloom to neon hues and a bouncing bass line.
The Body Talk trilogy is a splendid representative of truly enjoyable pop music, from the first samples of the quirky 'Fembots' with its declarations of 'automatic booty applications' last spring to the dance anthem 'Dancing on My Own' Robyn has kept our interest by putting the trilogy on slow burn, and wetting our appetite just a little more with each new one and installment.Met with universal praise from critics and wisely keeping her tours to smaller venues, and limiting her saturation of singles, Robyn's been capable to train her fans and make a lasting following since the issue of her first independent album 2005's brilliant self-titled album. She may be a pop star but she plays by a different set of rules and so far they've manage to aid her produce the best dance-pop record of 2010.
