Robyn

#1 Post by raggatwin »

Just bought the above artist's new album. Anyone else got it. Sounds quite good on first impressions. What do you think?

I'll probably be buying this, is it really the same person who did 'Show Me Love'?

Sort of. She did a song called that, but so did Robyn S, who most people think of when you mention that song title.

Yep, that's the one. Her other hit from that time was "Do You Know (What It Takes)."

She also wrote and recorded "Keep This Fire Burning" which was later released in the UK by Beverly Knight.

This is a fantastic album and "Konichiwa Bitches" is a genius track.

New album? "Robyn" was released in Sweden two years ago!

But yes, it's a very good album. It's probably her best.
"Handle me", "Bum like you" and of course the hit single "Be mine" are great tracks.

finally listened to it, lyrically a bit embarrassing, musically a bit average.
