Round Robyn

I really love what Swedish alt-pop princess Robyn is doing with her Body Talk triple album. Although recent efforts by Janelle Monáe and The xx are strong arguments for preserving the 'album' format, it's true that the traditional 10 - 12 track LP, spanning approximately an hour, is becoming increasingly redundant in the digital era.

Robyn's approach of releasing digestible batches of songs every few months, allowing her to avoid long gaps between releases or singles becoming 'stale' by the time they're ever officially released.

The first installment, 'Body Talk Part 1', was a triumph and early reports suggest that 'Part 2', set for releases in September, is shaping up quite nicely. The first single will be 'Hang With Me', which appeared on 'Part 1' in an acoustic form.

A simple but effective video to accompany the track has materialised and, already, the remix artists are getting hot and heavy over this slice of electropop.
