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
Brilliant Pop!!!:
One of the best albums of the year. Released over a year ago in Sweden, it finally gets it's release in Canada!!! Buy this record, you won't be sorry. Standout tracks are: "With Every Heartbeat", "Who's That Girl", "Konichiwa Bitches", "crash and Burn Girl", and especially "Be Mine". Worth every penny.
TOO BAD:
It's really too bad that Robyn didn't make more of a mark in North America except for the two songs "Show Me Love" and "Do you really want me". It's good to see that some of her singles like "Be Mine" and "Handle Me" now have remixes that are becoming more mainstream in Canada, being a DJ I tend to like to use artists like her, Groove Coverage, Jim Verraros, etc. except for the fact that alot of people here are not quite sure what you are playing and even though they do like it it is a little more difficult to find out here except for a place like amazon. I recommend anyone who wants to try something new to give this album a listen.
