Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0602517601338 Format: EP Label: CherryTree Manufacturer: CherryTree MPN: 001067202 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: CherryTree Release Date: January 29, 2008 Studio: CherryTree Editorial Review: Album Description: She is Robyn. The most killingest pop star on the planet. A pint-sized atom bomb dispensing wisdom in three-minute modernist pop bulletins on the post-adolescent condition. Robin Miriam Carlsson was born in Stockholm, Sweden and spent the first seven years of her life touring with her director father and actress mother in their Constructivist-inspired theatre company. At the age of 13 she was discovered by Swedish pop singer Meja when singing a sad, self-written song about her parents' divorce in a school workshop. Already exploding in Sweden, The UK, France and Australia, Robyn has set her sights on America and is planning a pop overthrow. Album Description: Robyn, the pint-sized atom bomb drops wisdom in three-minute modernist pop bulletins on the post-adolescent condition. Included on the EP is a spine-tingling version (featuring Bjorn of 'Peter. Bjorn & John' fame on piano) of her smash hit 'Be Mine' as well as a cover of US spoken word luminary Saul Williams' 'List Of Demands' which she performed live with Jenny Wilson and a cover of Prince's 'Jack U Off', which is so utterly disarming it'd be difficult not to join her by the piano for a last orders sing-along. Album Details: An Amalgamation of Futuristic Pop and Incredibly Detailed Lyrical Postcards. A Perfect Introduction to the Swedish Pop Sensation. Includes a Spine-tingling Version (Featuring Bjorn of 'peter. Bjorn and John' Fame on Piano) of her Smash Hit "be Mine" as Well as a Cover of Us Spoken Word Luminary Saul Williams' 'list of Demands' which She Performed Live with Jenny Wilson and a Cover of Prince's 'jack U Off'.

 Rating: - Robyn's Back With a Vengence!!!I recommend this item for all the true Robyn fans that have been here from the beginning! It's sooooo good to see her back, sharing her music with the USA Rating: - Rakan' Robyn!!Robyn Carlsson has been a noteworthy pop artist for over a decade, but unfortunately like so many other European pop stars, she has only had limited success in the United States. That may soon change. Robyn is no longer the petite teen who sang the unforgettably catchy 1997 hits '(Do You Know) What it Takes" and "Show Me Love." But she still has the dynamic voice, which wraps flawlessly around her beats, which make even the most original work by Timbaland and Danja seem outdated and irrelevant. The ...

It left me wanting more and each song was incredibly different from the song that played before it. Robyn never stopped being too cool for skool, but when she cut her hair again and released this EP, she reminded us of why she's in a league of her own. Konichiwa Bitches - same version on original Robyn release, but on this EP it has a little voiceover intro. Robyn sounds about 10 years old on this intro, which is so cute.

In 1997, when she first emerged onto the scene with pop that was reminiscent of too much and lacked any serious US staying power, most wrote her off. I bought her album and then forgot that she existed. Perhaps one of the biggest mistakes I have ever made concerning my own musical enlightenment. She released two albums after Robyn Was Here. My Truth and Don't Stop The Music, and while both were international hits, neither impacted the states and she continued ... Read More Rating:  - Best Yet To Come...While I am happy to see a release of 'new' Robyn material available in the U.S., this EP can only be a predecessor to a hopefully planned full album (Which will include the Kleerup produced "With Every Heartbeat") or rerelease of 2005's ROBYN. Considered a mixed bag, RAKAMONIE offers selections that prove this Swede's multifaceted talent. With the current flavor in mainstream music, Robyn definately has her place to compete if not surpass the likes of Gwen Stefani and Fergie. Buy it for the outrageousness ... Read More |
