Our Girl Is Blowing Up

Filed under: Music Minute > Robyn

There's nothing that brings us more joy than when one of our "children" gets the success we've always thought they deserve.

Last month, we christened her our new girl and said that they better release her album in the U.S.

Now, it's happening!

Robyn has scored a deal with Interscope to release her killer new album, of which she has said, "I made this record on my own label, with no compromises."

Congrats, Robyn!

12

Sean John says – reply to this

13

oh lord, thank god for large miracles. the US used to love her so its about time we welcome Ms. Konichiwa back with open arms! I love her, always have always will. but sille is right, it's not new…at all. lol, maybe they'll release something different here in the US?

She's been around for a long time and had a couple hits in America a couple years ago. She got pretty big here, then just disappeared, at least from here she did. It's funny, i was just thinking about here the other day wondering what happened to her. I remember rockin her CD like crazy. She's GREAT, I can't believe she went away for sooo long. What an awesome talent, Glad TO see her back~
twin atlantic says – reply to this

18

yeah Perez, I somehow doubt you're the reason her album is crossing the Atlantic.

Perhaps its actually got something to do with the fact shes already famous in scandnavia and shes just had a MASSIVE number 1 in the UK with With Every Heartbeat?

You Are So Wrong Perez says – reply to this

22

She isn't your girl, she is NOT new….
jennifer says – reply to this

23

It is interesting when you act like you're the reason for someone's success. She's been around for YEARS.
brittany says – reply to this

24

doesn't she sing that "crush" song from forever ago?
Stafford says – reply to this

25

I hate to break your heart Perez .. but this girl had a hit back in the 90s. So she cant really be the "NEW" thing .. if she has already been out. Get back on your reporting horse and stop worrying about your rap career on MTV .. bc you were whining like a bitch. Acting like J.Lo .. and you dont have any kind of reason to actin like a Diva .. your only famous for this website!!
La Munequa says – reply to this

26

Hi #25 CRUSH was sung my Jennifer Paige not Robyn.
Robyn was Britney Spears (with more talent!) way before Britney became Britney…

Dani says – reply to this

29

ROBYN has been around forever!!! What is this idiot talking about?? Her first album was amazing and came out in like 1998! Get a grip PEREZ You didn't discover her!
Grace says – reply to this

30

what the hell, she isnt a big new thing at all, and i dont recall you saying much about her! shes been around for years and has put out some great hits
Erik says – reply to this

31

Perez, she has been around for awhile - you did not discover her, she is not "new".
Mike says – reply to this

32

Seeing as though she's been on the house scene for at least a decade, I don't see how she is one of your "children".
Mary Ann says – reply to this

33

Is this the same Robyn that had that hit in the late 90s called "Show Me Love"???
Huh? says – reply to this

34

You are super great with music. You should know she has been around for a long time and had quite a presence in the US a while ago. Including a huge billboard promoting her CD in Time Square!
Neneh says – reply to this

35

Nice hair style! LOL. Did she cut that herself with a broken bottle?
GARY MANGI says – reply to this

36

I'VE BEEN WAITING A LONG TIME FOR THIS LESBIAN TO COME OUT WITH SOMETHING NEW, SHE TOTALLY KICKS ASS, AND ROCKS, I CAN SEE HER GETTING DOWN WITH PINK, you should hook it up perez.
Ommah says – reply to this

37

REALLY the best album of the year!! Thank God for import! Robyn is the future pop sound!
Beth says – reply to this

38

Not feeling the haircut- it's like V Beck's, but way more harsh!
"Show me Love" was cool, new song on her myspace is cool.
Perez, even though you tried to take credit for her, you're pretty cool;)
Can't rap is what I've heard though, hehehe. Don't worry I'll vote for you next week;)
nia says – reply to this

39

FUCK YEAH! GO GIRL….soooooooooo happy for you…got to listen to the the konichiwa bitches e.p when itunes (USA) randomly released it in MARCH….wwaaay better then her commercial stuff from back in the day (90s,lol)`!!
Carling says – reply to this

40

I remember Robyn from like, 1997. I hated her then. Not looking promising now, either.
aubsmiles says – reply to this

41

She might not be actually *new*, but you're right- the release of her most recent album has been long overdue in the states! I love all the songs on it! Good job, Perez!
Lisa Ling says – reply to this

42

She was huge in Europe ten years ago when I lived in Stockholm. In fact, she released a single here and shot a video. She is awesome though.
Sunny Sam says – reply to this

43

She's not exactly new. She had international and US hits, in 1997 with the singles "Show Me Love" and "Do You Know (What it Takes)".
K says – reply to this

44

THIS MUSIC FUCKING SUX…..WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello Kitty says – reply to this

45

Um why does it sound like you found Robyn under a rock ?

She has already had a hit album in the US years ago, and her record company failed to follow up when their was a window, so once again US fans were foced to pay import taxes to keep up with the rest of the world.

Why can't itunes go global already, or have the import tax added into the price of Int tracks !
Mel says – reply to this

46

"Our 'children'"
Oh my God, Robyn has had a successful career for over ten years. She even had two considerable hits in the U.S.
You are so fucking delusional.
mema says – reply to this

47

UH, SHE IS OLD TO THIS BIZZ I HAD HER ALBUM BACK IN 1997 OR SO SHE HAD 2 HIT SONGS AND THAT WAS IT SHE THREW IN THE TOWEL SHE IS JUST WIPING THE DUST OFF AND GOIN FOR ANOTHER ROUND ITS NOT A BAD SONG SO WE WILL SEE
Petra says – reply to this

48

She is Swedis and has been very big in Sweden for about 10 years. She first came to US about 7 years ago… I am Swedish so I know. She is really good and a down to earth girl.
Mater says – reply to this

49

I usually like the stuff Perez recommends AND I liked the album Robyn put out it the late '90's, but the new stuff doesn't do it for me. It's kind of dull.

jesss says – reply to this

53

shut the fuck up perez! I remember Robyn from the 90's… and i look at your site every day and i dont even remember any posts about her. U idiot asshole… your tv appearances suck ass!
Parks says – reply to this

54

Ah! Terrific! I've been looking forward to this for about 2 months now! I'm OBSESSED with Robyn, but I didn't want to pay for an imported CD (since it's over twice as much as a CD in the US). I love Robyn! and yes, it's the same girl who sang Show Me Love in the 90's. Her music is now techno for the most part, and she has some hilarious, dirty songs (Konitchiwa Bitches, Jack U Off, etc.)! She's fabulous!
missuss says – reply to this

55

you're not doing robyn, or any other musicians/bands any favours by writing about them. you are tainting these talent with your trashiness.
john says – reply to this

56

"With Every Heartbeat" is a true masterpiece! I wish her all the success in the US. She will do just fine.
Alasdair says – reply to this

57

I scored an advance Australian copy of this album and was lucky enough to interview her for a music mag over here. She's smart and sweet and the album is mostly really excellent … it's pop with an indie edge, like Annie or Gwen Stefani, with some nice electro and hip-hop beats and clever lyrics.
ivory says – reply to this

58

Ok Perez,
Robyn has been around since the mid 90's, and she has been popular for a long time. Although you do a lot for a lot of artists, Robyn isn't one of them. She did this on her own, and has always been fly. Her first album is a lot better than the new stuff anyways.
Lynsey says – reply to this

59

Didn't she have a hit song like a REALLY long time ago? Like, in the '90s? It was like "show me love" or something…I've got it stuck in my head right now. Thanks, P.

Sounds like a techno Kate Bush.
Ohmygodda says – reply to this

81

Not everybody is as cool & hip in the US as you all in Scandinavia are…our cookie cutter radio stations run by conservative baby boomers only play select crap. Perezzle is trying to change that here in the USA.

I for one am not that hip so I didn't know about Robyn -I'm super excited that her album will be available in the US finally.
Laura says – reply to this

82

I LOVE HER! Thanks for giving her a plug here perez, she's top class!
PABLUM says – reply to this

Sara says – reply to this

84

Robyn has released like 3 or 4 albums in Sweden, she's not the "new" thing, and everyone in Sweden are so tired of her and her crapy live performances. I'm glad she's going to the US so we don't have to listen to her.
HI says – reply to this

85

ROBIN HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG TIME SHE IS NOT NEW
drmsd says – reply to this

86

OMG. I always wondered what happened to her. I used to watch her video on The Box all the time.
Lizzie says – reply to this

87

Don't give yourself so much credit! She's been around. Apparently you just heard about her a few months ago and now you think you're responsible for her success? What a lame ass you've become lately. You need to be humbled.
Trythis84 says – reply to this

88

She reminds me so much of my favorite artist P!NK always have(they could pass for siblings

Robyn is not new and you are not the first ones to discover her. She blew up in the 90's. Anyway, I'm glad more of her music will be coming to the states as well.

Criss Angel Is Recorded Threatening To Knock Out His Producer!

Whoa! Criss Angel is NOT messing around here!

The Luxor headlining illusionist was recorded having quite the verbal altercation with Joe Monti, one of his magic producers on Wednesday, during which Angel is heard threatening to knock him out - and now he's had a police report filed against him!

Give it a listen (above)!

Furthermore, Monti later said to authorities that he recorded the meeting because Angel has a history of bullying employees!

He explains:

“I wanted him to know how demeaning he was. I created 50-60 percent of the magic for ‘Mindfreak.' I have no reason to do anything vindictively but I draw the line on violence.”

Scary!

Violence is never the answer, folks!
