I cannot even begin to explain how much I adore Robyn and her music. I honestly could have dedicated my entire blog to this Swedish electro-pop artist and had each post feature one of her unique music videos. No novice to the music industry, Robyn has been doing this since the age of 16, and, now aged 32, her sound has certainly grown with her. I first heard of her when the video for her hit song "Konichiwa Bitches" became somewhat viral. Her lyrics are punny, her voice is distinctive, her style is just so quirky and memorable, and all these factors made me keep coming back for more. And boy did she deliver. Her latest album Body Talk is as good, if not better than her previous Robyn (of which some of my absolute favorites were "Dancing On My Own", "Cobrastyle" (great video!) and "Every Heart Beat" in addition to "Konichiwa Bitches".)
In Body Talk, Robyn continues with the synthpop/electropop tracks coupled with touching, life-affirming lyrics to great effect. I could go on for days about how amazing each of her songs is but I'll keep it brief and let you listen/watch for yourselves:
Call Your Girlfriend
Indestructible
A note on "Indestructible": I love that the video shows sex in an honest yet still beautiful way, while the lyrics strike very close to home. To make this even better, there is an amazing Laidback Luke remix of this song.
