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

CD Description
Third album from pop phenomenon Robyn. An assured yet edgy collection of smart-pop belters, this album is sure to appeal to fans of Girls Aloud and The Knife. Includes the single 'With Every Heartbeat'.

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

Robyn the dance crown from her pretenders.
The chances are that most of you are here due to the massive success of With every Heartbeat, the single getting rotation play on Radio. But don't be fooled. This is no dance/trance lite album as the etheral single suggests.
Robyn isn't afraid to break out the dirty side, and most of this album is an example of just what Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas wished she was. With an Electro Rap tinge to many of the tracks this comes as a refreshing surprise. The single sits well within the album, and it is nice to see that she didn't repeat the same formula ad nauseum throughout.
Overall this is a nicely paced album, she obviously has a good voice but can also cut her tempo down to a rap/talk. This suits the bouncy beats that run throughout the record and ensure you will be moving in some way regardless.
This will doubtless be a massively successful venture if the people into the single buy this release. Deservedly so, a great dance album from a considerible talent. Just don't be fooled by the tender single, the bonus track is Chas and Dave meets the White Stripes singing about the joys of giving hand pleasure to someone in a variety of venues!

Best Version of Robyn's latest album so far...
I've been wanting this CD for a while. I had trouble finding one even after this 3rd version of it's release (The Island Records Group, with U.K. bonus track "Jack U Off"). If you can find one, GET IT! I love it. I've been a fan of Robyn since her U.S. debut "do you know what it takes" aired on R&B & Hip Hop Radio. Only one criticism: "Handle Me" is cencored. I didn't expect that, since "Should Have Known" contains the "F" word. I do know that "Handle Me" will be the next single released, so HOPEFULLY they will include the ORIGINAL unedited version on there for people that are not offended easily. I'll be sure to get it too, because it's a great song as well.

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.
