Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0602517644236 Format: Extra tracks Label: CherryTree Manufacturer: CherryTree MPN: 001093302 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: CherryTree Release Date: April 29, 2008 Studio: CherryTree Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk: 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 Album Description: 2007 UK pressing of the Swedish diva's self-titled album. Although she has been recording for more than a decade, her musical reinvention at the turn of the millennium has increased her profile worldwide.

 Rating: - Robyn's album is excellent better than the rest Robyn goes the extra mile on every track on this album. She is a strong vocalist, catchy tunes. Robyn's album is much better than Madonna's latest, and I like Madonna, but Robyn is a much stronger vocalist, has way more original style. Every track is excellent, I especially like Cobra Style which she performed on that stupid show The View. I think the track Be Mine is my favorite, strong vocalst, great production, raw emotion, a story is told in this song everyone can relate to. Robyn is the real ... Read More Rating: - The best of 2008I really loved Madonna's latest, but Robyn's self-titled album has blown Hard Candy out of the water! From beginning the end the album is full of sweet, savage Europop/R&B goodness. This album is a smarter, cheekier and better-written version of anything Gwen Stefani, Nelly Furtado and Fergie have put out in the past four years. Please pick this up if you're looking for a new artist to sweeten your musical palate. Rating: - Such a great cd!Robyn's cd is pure talent. She has that extra something that most pop stars dont have these days. Theres not a single song I dont like on this album. Its the perfect dance album and full of female independance. Rating: - How many times can we release this album? Keep 'em coming!How do you go about reviewing one of the best pop albums of the last decade? We could start with history, I suppose. Robyn was born Robin Miriam Carlsson in Sweden in 1979, making her just shy of 30 years old. She was discovered by Swedish pop star Meja (It's All About The Money) in 1991, and in 1994 released her American breakthrough album, Robyn Is Here. This album spun out some great and memorable pop songs like, "Do You Know (What It Takes)," "Show Me Love" (which is often confused with another ... Read More Rating: - This Robyn sings Dance Pop Sweetly.I remember a very R&B Robyn. Her voice oozed smoothly with beats that rocked and swayed you. Now, the tempo is fast pace, venturing onto electro-pop territory. This grown up Robyn holds nothing back as she sings about heart ache and love with electronic beats that make you dance. This album is a must have. The international hit that was "Every Heartbeat" is only one of many gems in this treasure chest of an LP album. After a couple of listens, I honestly can't say what track shouldn't be ... Read More |
