Robyn & Royksopp: The Girl & The Robot (Version 2)

 

Robyn and Royksopp have released a second music video for their excellent song 'The Girl and the Robot'.  While the first video (see here) was inspired by and used footage from the iconic black and white film Metropolis, this one is all about the future. Love them both.

Music :: Robyn & Royksopp – The Girl & The Robot

 

I love the music video for the song ‘The Girl and the Robot’ by Robyn and Royksopp. The Frankenstein theme fits the beats and lyrics perfectly. It is set to be the second single from  Royksopp’s Junior album, following the first single ‘Happy Up Here’ (see that geeky video here).

Bum Like Robyn & Snoop

Remember that FIFA 2008 remix of 'Bum Like You' by Robyn that I told you about two weeks ago? I guess I was onto something, because now Robyn has Snoop Dogg featured on that EXACT mix. Snoop's guest spot is a payback for Robyn's feature on the remix of his Sensual Seduction (Sexual Eruption) mix a while back.

Sensual Seduction Mixed

After Robyn's excellent remake/ duet of Snoop's 'Sensual Seduction', I have grown to like the song. The Wideboys remixed the song and turned it into a great club song. Check out the remix and Robyn's remake below.

p.s. I scrambled the file name, because zShare is detecting the song name and deleting it.

Snoop vs. Robyn >> Sexual Eruption

This is my third post about Robyn in the first month of this blog. But how can I not post this? Robyn teamed up with Snoop Dogg on a rework of his 'Sensual Seduction / Sexual Eruption' song and the resulting duet is AMMMMMAZING. I am not big on Snoop songs but this is it! Get it while it's hot! Some are calling it Fyre Department Remix, but I am not sure yet what the official name is.

Music Trivia >> Piece of Robyn

Did you know that Robyn is the one singing backup vocals on Britney's current hit Piece of Me?

The connection? Piece of Me is written and produced by swedish team Bloodshy & Avant who happen to be friends with Robyn who hails from (surprise, surprise) Sweden.

Piece of Me just climbed to #2 on the official UK chart this week (14.01.2008). Even with zero promotional effort and only negative press (or is it because of it) people are still buying her record. I guess they are saying yes to Britney's "You want a piece of me?"

Funny bit : Just this last week (10.1.2008) Robyn had an interview with The Sun promoting her new Be Mine! single, and the headline was 'Don't Compare Me to Britney'.

Best of 2007 :: Music :: Robyn

2007 was the year of Robyn. After years of conflict with her record label, she left, created her own independent label and released three hit singles including one of my all time favorite songs.

Be Mine! is one of these rare songs that transcended the normal pop song and moved something inside me whenever I heard it. Be it the broken-heart storyline, the raw voice, or the urgency of the violins that come to life; the song was just perfect. Be Mine! was released in Sweden in 2005, but the rest of the world had to wait 2 years to hear it.

In a recent interview, Robyn says anout Be Mine: “It’s about sad love and a situation everyone knows about — being dumped. I tried to go back to being 15, and being dumped for the first time, when things are so black and white and raw and naive.”

Here is the new 2007 video which I love.

Click HERE for an amazing Piano Acoustic version and HERE for the original (and very strange) 2005 Be Mine! video.

Robyn also scored a huge 2007 #1 in UK with a collaboration with Kleerup. With Every Heartbeat is yet another example of Robyn's magic. It tells of ending a relation, you know you have to do it but you can not help avoid the pain. "We could keep trying, but things will never change. So I don't look back. Still I'm dying with every step I take. And it hurts with every heartbeat". Coupled with an extraordinary production from Kleerup, the song proves that Robyn is no one hit wonder.
