Editorial Review:
Robin Carlsson--better known as Robyn, the diminutive Swedish fireball who scored a hit with 1997's "Show Me Love"--has slowly but surely made her mark as an international R & B queen. Robyn, her fourth album, is arguably her strongest statement to date, jam-packed with sassy, streetwise lyrics and an array of novel beats and songs. Tracks like "Be Mine" and the playful, upbeat "Konichiwa Bitches" are instant, immaculate pop gems, while "With Every Heartbeat"--which boasts a Royksopp-esque melancholy, sidereal bleeps and rousing strings--is much more dance than R & B. "Who's That Girl" (produced by The Knife) rides an infectious electroclash groove; "Crash and Burn Girl" is a cheerful take on disco; while "Bum Like Me" and "Should Have Known" (which owes a conspicuous debt to Prince) are shiny slower jams that warn against getting hurt by time-wasting men. With the exception of "Eclipse" and "Anytime You Like", Robyn is a delightfully upbeat album, cementing Robyn's reputation as a kick-ass pop diva with some seriously deadly Ninja moves. --Danny McKenna

Rating:  - She's A Great Vocalist, But Slightly Arrogant.
When comparing it to the Robyn of the past she's almost unrecognisable, she is a woman with a great voice and an ear for innovation. With this album, it has some amazing tracks such as "Bum Like You" and "With Every Heartbeat" in these tracks she displays just exactly why we fell in love with her music in the first place. It was original, yet she didn't go insane with trying to sound so different that she actually sounded much the same of other such musicians.
There is a gripe I have ... Read More
Rating:  - It's Good, But It's Arrogant
Now don't get me wrong, I like this album; it's got some really good songs, but I can't help but feel there's a certain arrogance in her music. The main problem I have with the album as a whole is the attempt at giving us a diverse sounding album. We're given such good songs like "Bum Like You" and "Every Heart Beat." They're great, but then they're canceled out by Robyn's attempt at "rapping" in songs like "Konichiwa Bitches" and "Cobrastyle." Listening to her attempt at putting on an American rap ... Read More

Rating: - It's okay but grossly overrated
A few months ago I read that Swedish pop star Robyn had put out a new album. For those who are old enough to remember her, Robyn had a hit "Show Me Love" a decade ago. Back then I didn't think she had a great of a voice, a decade later I still feel that way. I recently acquired a copy of her new self-released, self-titled album. ROBYN follows in the footsteps of Kylie Minogue and Madonna with her brand of electro-pop music. Unlike Kylie's new album, ROBYN is lacks the catchy pop hooks and is more like ... Read More
Rating: - A pleasant rarity in the pop genre
I decided to get this album after hearing her 2nd released radio song from this album. I love it. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars because of the parental advisory. Its not that explicit but other people might find it objectionable. I cannot play this album around kids.
I like it because it's a departure from the typical staid pop albums that have been released recently. It's either ballad or hip hop influence; not that I don't like those types but its nice to hear something new. Robyn ... Read More
