June 18, 201015 yr we probably won't get one. part 2 is out end of august... Excited much? Kinda </3 that Hang With Me won't be getting a release. Meh.
June 18, 201015 yr Ah but it may! Rumours are that there is a more uptempo version which is on Part 2 and is the obvious single. Really quite liking Part 1 now. Dancing On My Own, Cry When You Get Older, Non Of Dem and Hang With Me are all superb, the other tracks are growing me but aren't quite up to the same standard yet.
June 19, 201015 yr Cry When You Get Older is my least :P. My favs are Dancing On My Own & Hang With Me.
June 19, 201015 yr I LOVE Don't f***ing Tell Me What To Do. It's so quirky. It's growing on me... if I take it out of the context of a pop song and listen to it is as a dance or club track then it makes much more sense.
July 20, 201014 yr Agreed with Jonjo. New Robyn material does seem to cause mass hype everywhere though, didn't a couple of people on here proclaim/agree that Dancing On My Own is the best pop song of the past 5 years or something when it first surfaced? With Every Heartbeat is far far better and was so much more original for me personally but each to their own. Anyway, I really like it, and the acoustic mix, but from the pre-internet hype it's had I have to admit that I was expecting to hear something life changing :heehee:

July 20, 201014 yr Dancing On My Own is STILL amazing (and preferable to WEH IMO), but overplay has taken the shine off it just a little bit for me :( I henceforth proclaim Hang With Me to be the new best pop song of the past five years. It's great and one of the songs of the year, don't get me wrong, but With Every Heartbeat defined a moment and sounded so incredible and unique to the charts of 2007. DOMO is very much the same formula, and had it comes before WEH it would have been incredible but having come afterwards, and also after other 'sad electro' songs of hers like Dream On and The Girl & The Robot, it wasn't *quite* as magical for me. Overplay has also slightly killed off Dancing On My Own now but I could never ever tire of With Every Heartbeat no matter how many times I hear it, one of the defining and greatest pop songs of the noughties in my opinion :wub:
July 20, 201014 yr I still think "Dancing On My Own" is one of her best, perhaps behind "Dream On" as my favourite now. "Be Mine" and "With Every Heartbeat" are also close. This? Eh. I'm not overwhelmed by it. In fact, I'm almost disappointed by it. The acoustic version is leagues ahead, so much better suited to the song. Perhaps I need something higher quality than a radio rip, but I'd go as far as to say this version of the song actually sounds quite cheap? I think the only post-2000 UK single it's better than would be "Who's That Girl?", it could potentially be better than "Handle Me". (as the acoustic version most certainly is) I really oughta check out her pre-"Robyn" material too some time.
July 20, 201014 yr For me, my favourite Robyn singles (from what I've heard): 'Handle Me' > 'With Every Heartbeat' >> 'Dream On' > 'Dancing On My Own' > 'Be Mine' > 'Who's That Girl' >>>>> 'Show Me Love' > 'Hang With Me'
July 20, 201014 yr Meh, it's okay. Really underwhelmed with Robyn this era though tbh, really overrated. I much preffered her last era when I genuinely adored each single except 'Who's That Girl?' maybe.
July 20, 201014 yr and I thought this wasn't going to be better than 'dancing on my own' due to the acoustic version being a little boring imo. I was wrong. :wub: still nothing compared to the amazingness of 'handle me'. handle me > be mine >>> hang with me > dancing on my own > with every heatbeat >>> who's that girl >>>>> dream on >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the girl and the robot.

July 21, 201014 yr I think i would have liked the upbeat version of Hang With Me more if i heard it first, im too used to the acoustic and the up beat sounds like someone just added generic beats to the song and took a lot of the emotion of it away.
