Well this is a nice track on first listen although it hasn't captured me like a lot of her tracks usually do on first listen.

I'm absolutely loving this, it was totally worth the wait. It's much more similar to Body Talk than I was expecting, but that doesn't bother me.

So this is growing as expected. Can we discuss the artwork though? I mean what and why on Earth?

I have read some complaints about this, which honestly confuses me. People moaned that she veered too far (experimented) from what she does best with her EP's... And now she is back with a song that is the epitome of that classic Robyn sound and people are still unhappy...
I wouldn't be surprised if Missing U is both an ode to her fans, Christian Falk, and a bridge between Body Talk and the new album. This post has been edited by blacksquare: 2nd August 2018, 08:06 AM |

Agreed- I don't think she could have pleased everyone given the expectations, however personally I am really loving it and it is everything I wanted and more. Robyn just does fantastic melancholic dance pop, and this whinging is killing me. |

Everything you wanted and more? I love Robyn - one of my favourite pop acts of the millennium - but is it just me that feels this song just doesn’t go anywhere? It doesn’t ever get out of second gear.
Not that I don’t like it but it’s hardly a Robyn classic and I’m inclined to think a proper big release is around the corner and that this is just a palate cleanser. Which it will do as. |

I agree, it *is* probably that the standards were SO high anything she did was gonna take a while to settle in but it's not totally hitting me just yet. It's lovely and all but it isn't grabbing me and making me want to go back again and again.

I disagree massively. She's experimenting with structure (it reminds me of LCD Soundsystem for that) and the lack of a 'second gear' is clearly intentional. It's more of a journey than trying to get to some massive final chorus. It's more intense and mournful than her usual crying on the dancefloor bangers. The focus seems to be more on her delivery (which builds and changes, as if she is singing to herself) and the lyrics. This post has been edited by blacksquare: 2nd August 2018, 05:24 PM |

what an incredible, beautifully poignant song
it’s a song that speaks to death and the loss of that follows so succinctly my queen 💙 |

Love it! Glad she stuck with what works best for her and didnt try to be generic edgy by doing trap or some shite like that

I mean what and why on Earth? it’s an urn and it’s speaking of robyn’s experience of death (christian falk, time etc) the white tone of it speaks to looking forward and not back, a positive look forward the ending pause of 8 years and looking forward |

I can't believe how she changed her look and it WORKS. The slightly longer hair, honey blonde, Annie Lennox vibe. She's not even that old either I was working it out today, she's a fair bit younger than Sia and age hasn't stopped her doing anything in recent years.
40 really is the new 30. |

I think the fact Sia hasn’t really shown her face to the public and has had young dancers starring in her videos says quite a lot about ageism in pop, sadly. Not to discredit her at all - it's impressive how she's continued to get a string of hits. This post has been edited by blacksquare: 3rd August 2018, 09:22 AM |
