Swedish~ Stereo~

Robyn has marked some biggest American shows with her appearance this year and this weekend she was invited to Saturday Night Live hosted by her partner by tour - Katy Perry.
It's not the most exciting news in Robyn's life lately. With Avicii and Swedish House Mafia she's got to Grammy-2011 nomination Best Dance Recording with "Call Your Girlfriend" and though it's gonna be a real tough fight to get there is already a big win that this artist has really deserved.

New Swedish Internet phenomenon has come from Uppsala as a small video made by three girls from local band Erato singing cover of Robyn's latest hit "Call Your Girfriend" clapping hands in synchronous beat of margarine tubs tapped on the table.
Sounds like pretty simple idea? But video has collected around 350.000 videos just for a week, girs were invited to SVT and there's no wonder actually, beautifully sounding acapella voices with a beat of tubs have become absolutely hypnotizing combination you hardly can get away from when you start watching.
I think girls definitely should try record their own stuff, something in Imogen Heap style would become a real hit.

After a rush of fresh stuff from her during last year this year Robyn works mostly on promoting it and among other performances she was invited to popular American The Ellen DeGeneres Show to perform her latest single "Call Your Girlfriend".
What I love the most is that winged hood and choreography from music video, all the rest is what we use to enjoy in Robyn performing live.

Have we promised to stop complaining about "Call Your Girlfriend" chosen as new Robyn's single instead of "Time Machine"? So we won't! We really like this song and it's gonna be good summer single, isn't it?
Today we get a brand new video for the song and well, not any artist can fill three and a half minutes with dances in the dark hall, one camera and nice spotlights (as big tasty bonus). But Robyn is not any artist and she does these three and a half minutes worthy watching just because of her.

Though the third part of Robyn's trilogy "Body Talk" was already released last year along with final compilation that currently makes its road to the heart of listeners from the most different continents era of "Body Talk" is not over and this May another single "Call Your Girfriend" will see the light.
As you could expect bunch of mixes from different DJs will support this release but as you probably didn't expect every of them is better than other, every is pretty stunning club banger but if we had to choose best one we would choose... Kaskade remix - that loud modern sort of disco chorus is just too dance-ecstatic so we give highest marks to whole pack at least for this track. And for the rest too. And almost forgive girl for not releasing "Time Machine" as next single. Though...

Can you remember the latest time when any Swedish artist was taking American TV with a storm visiting such a huge TV-shows like The Ellen Show and Jimmy Kimmel Live? At least I can't but who else can represent Sweden on international pop-stage better than this amazing lady can do these days?
Robyn has appeared recently on these two big shows with both her comeback single of 2010 "Dancing On My Own" and her brand new "Call Your Girlfriend" giving it all like she usually does and getting positive response from the audience, you can enjoy performances right now.
Thanx to Pop In Stereo blog for tips.

Triumphal winner of the latest Grammis awards Robyn doesn't plan to slow down tempo of creative activity that was truly on fire last year and spends a lot of time in studio working on new stuff. Does it mean that we'll get new album already this year? Not really clear but what's known for sure is that we'll get another single "Call Your Girlfriend" from the latest part of "Body Talk" series and it already gets massive mix-treatment from Kaskade that sounds like a huge club-anthem we really looking forward to listen it in a full version. Thanx for tips to Pop In Stereo.

Few months ago audience of Oskar Linnros' concert could enjoy great live mash-up of Oskar singing Robyn's "Dancing On My Own" with "Från och med du" arrangement and now this idea gets official release and immediately reached the top of iTunes-chart in Patrik Berger mashup. You can already enjoy it below.

Robyn's third pard of trilogy "Body Talk" is finally out in Sweden on previous week together with final compilation "Body Talk" containing 5 songs from every of 3 EPs. So we've logically lost acoustic versions of "Dancing On My Own" and "Hang With Me" and 4 another tracks and we officially miss "Include Me Out" and "Jag Vet En Dejlig Rosa" but still consider final album as real pop-masterpiece that has made many people who even weren't Robyn's fans before follow her career whole year.
Few months ago Robyn presented beautiful acoustic track "Indestructible" with magnificent strings arrangement on previous EP that on "Body talk Pt.3" turned to electropop younger sister of "Dancing On My Own" and "Hang With Me" - light and delicate, maybe not with the same huge hit-potential but still reaching Top-10 in Sweden. However third Robyn's album this year has got some even more exciting thing - "Time Machine" collaboration between Robyn and Swedish biggest export-hitmaker Max Martin mixing some best moments in music of both - fragile sensitivity of Robyn's melodies and magic catchiness of Max Martin's stuff. It's not yet confirmed yet if it's gonna be the next single of Robyn or any of the rest 3 new tracks: "Call Your Girlfriend" - more dynamic and less dramatic version of "Dancing On My Own" with flying huge chorus, "Get Myself Together" - cheerful pop-song with catchy rhythm and "Stars 4-Ever" - colder club-track repetetive but light enough not to be boring. However here's best track of "Body Talk Pt.3" and new enjoyable performance of "Indestructible".

There are pretty much happening with Robyn constantly this year so I've got a bunch of stuff to tell about.
First of all Robyn performed her first #1 hit in Sweden "Dancing On My Own" at American VMA with Deadmau5, unfortunately it was just around minute cut but still if there's any of European artists who can refuse to get it, please stand up! So here at 6.07 you can watch Robyn performing "Dancing on My Own" in the mix.
Right now before release of the third part of her trilogy "Body Talk" Robyn is presenting her new single "Indestructible", acoustic version of this song was presented on the second part of "Body Talk" so as it was expected it has got electro-arrangement in a style of "Hang With Me" and "Dancing On My Own" but a bit less commercial and sounding more like remix of previous version (in my opinion).

However that's great to get new material from Robyn and soon we're gonna get another 4 new songs on "Body Talk Pt. 3" - "Time Machine", "Call your girlfriend", "Get myself together" and "Stars 4-ever", the rest is 5 songs from the first part and 5 songs from second. Check whole tracklist below and cover above.
And finally you should check fresh lovely performance of early Robyn's hit "Show Me Love" right in the centre of Stockholm at Sergels Torg, it's wonderful how you completely flow into this performance, beautiful!
