Posted July 25, 20186 yr After 8 years of waiting, it looks like the first single from Robyn's upcoming album will finally be released next week! The above artwork apparently appeared on a download website earlier today, with a release date of 1st August, before being removed. I can't wait to hear what she comes up with, Body Talk was such an incredible collection of songs (and my personal favourite of her releases), so waiting for a follow-up for so long better be worth it!
July 25, 20186 yr Well this has cheered me up immensely, definitely looking forward to some new Robyn solo material!
July 25, 20186 yr The prospect of another full-length album from her seems too good to be true. 8 DAMN YEARS. Can't wait for this anyhow!
July 25, 20186 yr She often seems to hold the most commercial thing back to second release so I’m not sure what to expect. Do we know who she’s been working with?
July 26, 20186 yr There’s a 30 second clip out there now. Sounds v Dancing On My Own / could easily fit on Body Talk which is certainly no bad thing. So good to have her back.
July 26, 20186 yr It's classic Robyn. I thought she might go with something a bit more out there as the lead but I don't mind that she didn't. That chorus is looping around my head already and the production and her vocals are really lovely/heartbreaking as ever.
July 26, 20186 yr I like this, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed. I feel that it doesn't go anywhere and is pretty much the same thing all the way through the song. Hopefully it grows. Stunning production as per though.
July 26, 20186 yr Agreed, definitely classic Robyn and it's nice to have her back but I am a tad disappointed :( It'll probably grow though as it's quite subtle rather than hitting you square in the face first listen.
July 26, 20186 yr The way it ends, is that a suggestion that it could sequence into the next track a la Confessions? Aside from that aspect which threw me slightly, I was going to say that it would make a nice album closer.
July 27, 20186 yr Been tirelessly searching for this since yesterday evening, still can't find it. Really frustrating!
July 27, 20186 yr The way it ends, is that a suggestion that it could sequence into the next track a la Confessions? Aside from that aspect which threw me slightly, I was going to say that it would make a nice album closer. I think that might just be because it’s a leak and not the official version? I’m guessing it was cut a bit early and the final one will have a more definite ending, otherwise I’m hoping what you say is true, would love that. I’m liking this a lot and it’s great to have her back but it’s not as good as I’d hoped. I’m glad in a way that she hasn’t switched up her sound because it works so well but it’s also a bit of a shame that it’s so similar.
July 27, 20186 yr This is incredible and it's just so lovely having her back. It feels like a continuation of Body Talk, and I imagine she'll push it further and play with her sound more on the album.
July 30, 20186 yr Author So this will be available to stream and download from 2pm BST today! I really like it after a couple of listens. I agree with the above comparisons to the Body Talk era, particularly Dancing on My Own but that's not a bad thing in my opinion. 8 years is a long time for any artist to be away for, particularly one not as "mainstream" as Robyn so hopefully it will act as a reminder to any casual fans. I hope Radio 1 get behind her though, this deserves to be at the very least a top 40 hit, if not more.
