I have been totally obsessed with Robyn recently, particularly the first four songs on her awesome new album Body Talk Pt. 1. It's the first of three proposed releases in 2010, and if the rest live up to the standard set by this one, she will win the year. The album has a sheen to it that is undeniable - it's pop genius. While the first half is considerably better than the second, it's plenty to sustain me.
Robyn started out making music when she was 12 and certainly has had her fair share of ups and downs. This album, however, is a major up. Big up yourself, Robyn.
The first track, "Don't Fucking Tell Me What To Do" is a mission statement of the rebellious woman. The second tune, "Fembot," is an upbeat assertion that Robyn is in control. The fourth, "Cry When You Get Older," is simply brilliant. This whole album is baller, go buy it. 'Nuff said.
