Robyn: Cobrastyle

Fi-na-lly!

The general opinion of Stylus Magazine was such that it was rated No. 4 in their albums of 2005. Two years on, Robyn is released in the UK, a whole 10 years after the arrival of Show Me Love, and sparkling with some extra tracks – including the previously-blogged-about and yes-it’s-magnificently-shimmeringly-aching With Every Heartbeat. Robyn’s album bursts with the all knowing pizazz that a pop diva should have. The vocals, the lyrics, the zaps, stabs, beats and arrangements combine to tell us two things: that love hurts, sometimes, and that pop music is crucial to the successful evolution of the human race.
