Oh Robyn, I’ve really missed you.  I wore your eponymous album out.  Finally, you are back with Body Talk Pt. 1, and it was worth the wait mama!Robyn swaggers through Dancehall Queen with astonishing credibility (especially considering she’s Swedish).  Dancing on my Own continues her previous album’s theme of abandonment and loneliness.  Robyn mixes humility with confidence which reflects the honesty of her writing and keeps her likable.

For those of you craving a clear-toned disarming ballad, try Hang With Me.   There are plenty of beats with attitude for the dancers, and even a traditional Swedish song sung as a dulcet lullaby. Body Talk Pt. 1 has eight delicious tracks that serve as a tasty appetizer to  additional offerings slated for later this summer.  Until then, I’ll be keeping this on heavy rotation.

Tack för den vackra musiken Robyn!
