Posted February 26, 201015 yr http://cdn.pitchfork.com/media/robyncov452.jpg Five years after the release of her 2005 eponymous masterpiece, Swedish pop genius Robyn is coming back with three new albums that will roll out across 2010, according to an interview in Swedish magazine Bon. (Take that, Newsom!) Among her bounty of new, more "dance-oriented" songs is a "rap duel" with Snoop Dogg, a track produced by Röyksopp called "None of Dem" that she says sounds like a Timbaland song, one called "Fembot" that's about "30-year-old women who want to get pregnant" (Robyn turned 30 last year), another one called "Don't f***ing Tell Me What to Do", and "Dance Hall Queen", which was produced by Diplo and mysteriously found its way onto the internet earlier this month. So yeah, feel free to get excited. Bon reports the first LP is due this spring, with the following two out in summer and winter, and that Klas Åhlund, Andreas Kleerup, Patrik Berger, and Savage Skulls also worked with Robyn on the new material. The lengthy interview (which is not on Bon's website at the moment but is definitely worth seeking out) has Robyn talking about trying to make pop star machinery work for her, Lady Gaga ("I don't like her music"), Fever Ray ("It's good music. But that's the tastemaker world ... I am talking about the commercial music world, which is my world."), feeling self-conscious while taking African dance lessons, Michael Jackson, Obama ("It's better that [the U.S.] voted for Obama to be their king instead of Bush, but to believe that Obama has some power or some real effect on our society-- that is just silly, right?"), along with her Stockholm dance party, Konichiwa Bitches Goes Tutti Frutti, which recently featured a middle-aged woman performing a version of the song "Tutti Frutti" with an accordion while dressed up in fruits. It does not get much better than Robyn, folks. Source: Pitchfork ...omg. - - - - Part One: 1. Don't f***ing Tell Me What To Do 2. Fembot 3. Dancing On My Own 4. Cry When You Get Older 5.

February 26, 201015 yr "Swedish pop genius Robyn is coming back with three new albums that will roll out across 2010" So would these by albums of at least 10 tracks each, or say, only 5 tracks on each one? :unsure:
February 26, 201015 yr I saw about this, 3 albums in a year? She's definitely been busy in the studio then! ;o Really like 'Dance Hall Queen' having not especially liked any of her previous music that much, so I'm excited for this/these!
March 12, 201015 yr Interesting video: r1ktLZPnOx4 LOVING the song that starts at abut 0:55... all sounds good tho :)
March 17, 201015 yr New song streaming on her site... http://www.robyn.com/ IT IS AMAZING!!! It certainly is, it was a very nice surprise to hear this track (Fembots) earlier this evening.
March 18, 201015 yr Love it on the first listen!! not sure if its single material, but definitley makes me want to hear more of whats coming!
March 18, 201015 yr I'm really excited for new stuff from her. 'Fembots' sounds fantastic. I also love her comments about Obama et al :heehee:
March 18, 201015 yr Fembot really isn't a great song. It sounds a bit like a leftover from the Robyn album. Bit of a shame.
March 19, 201015 yr I absolutely love 'Fembot'! Even better than 'Dancehall Queen', which I loved too. So excited for this album (or 3?!) now!
April 6, 201015 yr Official cover of 'Body Talk 1', the first of the albums out this year: http://idolator.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Body-Talk-1.jpg Apparently there are now due to be 'only' two, not three as previously thought. Tracklisting: 01 'Don't f***ing Tell Me What To Do' 02 'Fembot' 03 'Dancing On My Own' 04 'Cry When You Get Older' 05 'Dance Hall Queen' 06 'None Of Dem' 07 'Hang With Me (acoustic)' 08 'Jag Vet En Dejlig Rosa' 'Dancing on my Own' is the first single to be taken from the album and you can hear a 30 second sampler on the Internet somewhere if you look... So pleased 'Dance Hall Queen' is included! :wub:
April 6, 201015 yr Only 8 tracks. :nocheer: Is it me or do I am I being cynical in suspecting the second album will be released later this year with the first album added to it.
April 11, 201015 yr Official covers: http://i44.tinypic.com/amxthv.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/16joaqx.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/71lkd5.jpg
April 11, 201015 yr Why do they have covers? Are they going to be released to iTunes prior to the album?
April 11, 201015 yr Why do they have covers? Are they going to be released to iTunes prior to the album? I'm not totally sure. Apparently 'Dancehall Queen' is being released to iTunes April 13th...not sure why the other two have covers though! Edited April 11, 201015 yr by Cremey
