just got BP1 yesterday and listening now. I love Don't Fucking Tell me What to do, Dancing on My own (amazing song) and None of Dem. The last two mellow tracks are also great but I don't love the rest so generally, a really good short album I'm glad I bought. I'll definitely look into the subsequent parts of this series.

The All-Inclusive Robyn Thread
 

all space cadets on deck! Body Talk Pt. 1 is officially out today.

also, Beatportal.com is hosting a remix contest for "None of Dem" where you can download all of the stems for the song:

Just saw the remix contest a bit ago, very interesting! Wish I was good at that kind of stuff.

Going to go hunt for Body Talk later today. So excited!

Personally, I think it's bullshit that they make you pay for the stems in order to enter the contest.

great cover of Alicia Keys "Try Sleeping With a Broken Heart" - the song is so well-suited for her.

I am a recent Robyn convert. I think she's great! Body Talk pt. 1 is excellent... I look forward to pts 2 and 3.

i've been following her career since 'show me love', and she has yet to fail me. she has the pop version of the midas touch. all these other wannabe pop bitches could learn a thing or two from ms. robyn. but robyn has one thing going for her others don't: she's smart. she's guided her career through a path many never expected her to take. the former 90s teen queen successfully reinvented herself as an ultra-modern, indie champ with the songs to back up the hype. and what songs they are! not only does she possess an elastic voice that can make you wanna dance and flow along with her, she can also tug at your heartstrings and reduce you to tears with her electroballads. she's got IT. and she's only getting better. in a perfect world, robyn would be the biggest pop star on the planet. and given her recent output, natural charm and charisma, world domination could very well be in her future.

AWESOME performance of 'fembot' on swedish television.



LOVE. HER. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...s/loveicon.gif

And an amazing rendition of Dancing On My Own with the band, recorded live in London:

I want Dancing On My Own to be a huge mega-smash single so bad, just so I can hear it more and Robyn reaches the level of success she deserves. I love having her as a hidden treasure, but her sound is so big and bold that people deserve to hear it as well.

^ wow that acoustic Dancing On My Own is GORGEOUS. i want it to be a huge hit too. i wish they had used the album version for the video though.

Hopefully it's OK to post this. If not, I'll delete this. I uploaded the videos and MP3s of this performance.

Thank you so much for posting these!

Soooo does anybody know where to get that Buzz junkies remix of Dancing on my own (legally!).
iTunes doesn't have it...

Body Talk Pt. 2 is out September 6th! http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.gif

http://pitchfork.com/news/39451-new-...-release-date/

The day before my birthday! THANK YOU Robyn! http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.gif

Mine as well! It'll probably actually come out in the US on our birthday.

Less than 2 months! I'm so excited! http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.gif

I was thinking that too after I posted actually! Yay us! What a treat. And i'm glad we finally have a release date!

I'm a little bummed, some of my friends are going to see her in CA and invited me to go.. but i'm broke. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/frown.gif I really want to see Robyn again..

I just realised the line is "My pianist is killing me" and I love it even more for me having been wrong.
