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!

this just sounds like shit ass rave music with the same beat repeating over and over reaching a mild climax. half the words in her songs are "baby" this and "baby" that. this is straight to gay clubs and and ecstasy hotspots kind of music. but then again, i guess thats what i should expect to find when its perez who is pushing the music here.

Robyn is just another proof of us swedes making the best music in the world. Seriously. Robyn, The Hives, The Cardigans, ABBA, Roxette, Mando Diao, The Hellacopters, Fibes, oh Fibes, Moneybrother, The Tough Alliance to mention a FEW! Vive la Suède.

Tiffany Said WHAT?! says – reply to this

116

Your child? Dude, Robyn was famous before anyone ever even knew who you were! I used to listen to her on the radio and watch her on MTV in High School. Umm hello, remember the video for "SHOW ME LOVE?" She was dancing on top of a car and singing!

Coolt att en svensk är med här, go Robyn!!
danielle says – reply to this

118

okay so i loved the album with "show me love" on it or whatever. and i HATE pop music! this should be good.
Ugh...!!! says – reply to this

119

You think rather highly of yourself. Please don't think for a second that you had anything to do with her career choices or her success.
Samantha Rogers says – reply to this

Awesome, thats my friend! I wonder if people know that she's swedish. I'm so proud of her!
Cecilie K says – reply to this

121

OMG!! Listen people… this girl has been around forever! i have followed her from silver pants to Konichiwa Bitches. You Americans are slow, just open your eyes a bit more and you will discover much new, and original music. I am praying for a Kanye-Robyn team-up - make it happen people, I know it will be great!

Just mentioning:

Show Me Love
Do You Know What It Takes
Handle Me
Konichiwa Bitches
Crash and Burn Girl
BE MINE
Who's That Girl

Buy her sounds!

Svensk stolthet!
I stora världen kan man väl inte påstå att Sverige gjort sig så känt. Men när det kommer till musik så är det ju bara att erkänna att Sverige har en hel del skit bra musiker och artister!
Vanessa says – reply to this

125

Oh Shit! I remember her! She sang the song Show Me Love. It is nice to see artist come to the US.

Is this the same girl who did the song Show me love? I remember her! When Pink came out I thought it was Robyn! Pink stole her thunder now she is back to kick Pinks lil pink ass!

Robyn's new album is the shit. Granted it has been out for a while…. spread the word KONICHIWA BITCHES
Bry0Chicago says – reply to this

130

Hey Troops! Youre right….Robyn has been around for years….I search high n low to get her albums when they are released in europe….Alas a pop singer with a brain….In addition to being a hot pop singer and she is an United Nations Ambassabor. And she doesnt lip sync. Thank you GOD!!
Gurl-BOOM says – reply to this

Re: jackie – Jackie DOLL!! She never left!! We silly sheltered Americans have to realize just because we dont hear it on our stoopid radios doesnt mean it doesnt exist. There are SEVERAL fantastic artists who are far ahead of their time when it comes to good pop music….hello!! Robyn, Tina Arena, Kylie Minogue!! These gurls are hot and would give Madonna, Britney, and that tired Beyonce a run for their money. In fact, Beyonce copied Kylie on the BET Awards a few months back with a performance that many thought was original….WRONG! Sorry Beyonce, BUSTED!!
Chris says – reply to this

132

Looking at what's hot in Europe and then mentioning it like it's your own discovery is not exactly making her "one of your children"!! WTF man get your bighead out of your arse and stick to judging peoples outfits…
You somehow managed to get some credit for amy whinehouse breaking through in the states which was the same big lie as she had been around in europe already… stop it already!
emma says – reply to this

She's been around för 12 years now, she never really went away.
emma says – reply to this

and heeeey, it was NOT Peter Swartling who discovered Robyn, it was Meja!
Chrille says – reply to this

Excactly! Meja discovered Robyn, not that loser Peter Swartling.

I LOVE HER ALBUM!!! Shes been massive in the UK this year thanks to Jo Whiley on Radio 1! I saw her at V festival ( )THIS CLOSE!!! ) and she was brilliant!
adam says – reply to this

137

pitchfork and tons of other music blogs have been on about robyn for a few years now. she gets played on radio 1 in the UK. this isn't news. but the interscope deal is. it kinda sucks cuz i like robyn but am trying to boycott the RIAA.
Terry. says – reply to this

138

Dude, I met her once and she's the biggest diva ever. I'm not (or was) a fan of her, but when I met her I asked her if she could sign a thing for me (so I could sell it on eBay haha) and she totally flipped me off. Not nice hunny.

Meredith B says – reply to this

143

I remember her! She had a couple awesome singles back when I was in Elementary school, "Do You Know" and "Show Me Love." I think I have her cassette tape at home somewhere! Glad to see she's still around
J says – reply to this

144

Believe this, Perez is a whore who will push any album if you PAY him, or if you are a young male, he wants to make out with you. I know this for a FACT because he propositioned my artist. This album isn't good. It is very mediocre. Perez, you are a joke. "I will feature you if you come make out with me", remember that one fat boy?
B says – reply to this

145

Robyn has been around for years bud. Like before Britney.
MAVERI says – reply to this

SHE LOOKS JUST LIKE PINK!!! OR MAY BE IS PINK PRETENDING TO BE SOMEONE ELSE…
baked beans says – reply to this

147

Robyn ain't one of your chil'n Preza….. She been round for many the year. You had nuthin' ta do wit her. She came up and came down years ago. FIN.
B-witched says – reply to this

148

perez only listens to sucky techno. It's so funny he fucking hates on R&B and hip-hop acts but has the nerve to lift up this disco bullshit. Get some taste, perez! Ribyn was cool when she was R&B. Her new "music" is trash!
Wobbafat says – reply to this

149

Please, that album came out like two years ago.
Dee says – reply to this

150

OMG I fucking love her. I was waiting on america to catch on to this girl she has one of the greatest R&/Pop albums of this past year. It's fucking GREAT. Perez you gotta put "Be Mine" on here to celebrate.
Carly says – reply to this

151

Robyn has been around for years…. like, 10. Pretty sure she did this by herself Paris… believe me, people don't judge people on what you think, unless they have no brain.
heeey says – reply to this

152

She's the best! Beside from wacko cracko Britney Spears.. At least Robyn makes her own music!
Toby Mac says – reply to this

153

Jesus, you really are pig dude - you look like one AND you have the brain of a pig.

This girl has been around for years. She had a hit song a couple of years ago in the UK.

Research your "stories" you grotesque monster, you show yourself up constantly.

Yeah, she's awesome!
One of the few good artists from sweden (I'm swedish too so…)

Britney Spears Shows Up And Walks Out Of X Factor Auds?

And let the ~~dramz~~ games begin!

Yesterday, The X Factor season two auditions kicked off in Austin, TX with its new judging panel of Britney Spears, Demi Lovato, LA Reid and Simon Cowell!

Everything seemed to be off to a great start...that is, until Mz. Brit Brit was nowhere to be found!!!

Midway through the show, after a hopeful got up and “butchered” Brit’s Hold It Against Me, she supposedly got up and walked out!

Four contestants came and went and Britney was STILL missing!

After the audience was left wondering where she could have gone, reportedly, it was revealed that Britney
