Amazon.co.uk Review
Robin Carlsson--better known as Robyn, the diminutive Swedish fireball who scored a hit with 1997’s "Show Me Love"--has slowly but surely made her mark as an international R & B queen. Robyn, her fourth album, is arguably her strongest statement to date, jam-packed with sassy, streetwise lyrics and an array of novel beats and songs. Tracks like "Be Mine" and the playful, upbeat "Konichiwa Bitches" are instant, immaculate pop gems, while "With Every Heartbeat"--which boasts a Royksopp-esque melancholy, sidereal bleeps and rousing strings--is much more dance than R & B. "Who's That Girl" (produced by The Knife) rides an infectious electroclash groove; "Crash and Burn Girl" is a cheerful take on disco; while "Bum Like Me" and "Should Have Known" (which owes a conspicuous debt to Prince) are shiny slower jams that warn against getting hurt by time-wasting men. With the exception of "Eclipse" and "Anytime You Like", Robyn is a delightfully upbeat album, cementing Robyn’s reputation as a kick-ass pop diva with some seriously deadly Ninja moves. --Danny McKenna

About the Artist
She is Robyn. The most killingest pop star on the planet. A pint-sized atom bomb dosed on electric and dispensing wisdom in three-minute modernist pop bulletins on the post-adolescent condition.

Customer Reviews

Quirky but good.
Great tunes, bit electro mixed with rap and the odd soft ballad creeping in.
She has a sweet voice but knows how to sing and her style is not like anything I've heard before. There is one or two on here that get on my nerves, I think the intro to the album is irritating as hell, but the rest is great. Lyrics are a bit odd, but it's refreshing to hear someone singing without the emotional angst and whiney voice that seems to be the norm these days.
Upbeat tunes and very catchy.
I will be buying her next one.

Not what I was expecting
I bought this album because I love With Every Heartbeat and Handle Me but I am a bit disappointed because most of the other tracks are a bit boring in my opinion and are rap more than pop/dance music. When I listen to it now I tend to play the same 4 tracks over and over again.

Elfin Achievement
The plaudits are already stacked high and Robyn has every right to be both pleased and proud. Her new album is a veritable jewel box of slick, accomplished, 21st century synth pop. She wears her influences affectionately on her sleeve - 80's Madonna rubs shoulders with vintage Kylie - without ever losing her own ground.
Her collaborations with writer/producer Klas Ahlund and sundry talented others has resulted in a collection of catchy, witty, laugh out loud, sing-along, dance-along gems. Indeed it's hard to have favorites with material as strong as this.
"Be Mine", "Crash and Burn Girl", "Robotboy" and "Should Have Known" will all have your toes twitching; the anthemic "With Every Heartbeat" is broken gloriously apart by the string quartet at its' pulsing centre and the gorgeous "Eclipse" gives a small glimpse of something more vulnerable in this beautiful woman's elfin heart.
A fine achievement.
