The Energy Is Infectious

Filed under: Listen To This > Robyn

Robyn played her first show in America in years, Tuesday night in New York City, at a sold out concert at the Highline Ballroom.

Her album's not even out here yet, but the audience knew ALL the words to her songs. And they sang along to every tune!

Just watch this clip of her exquisite With Every Heartbeat from the gig. Her smile is huge. The crowd could not be any more into it.

Robyn plays this Saturday at the Troubadour in Los Angeles, and YOU KNOW Perez is gonna be there!

      I love this woman. So strong, and honest and humble and an all around true artist… she never ceases to amaze me, I'm super jealous about the LA show Perez….tell Robyn that Canada loves her and that she needs to come visit us soon!!! What a breath of fresh air …

      Yes, He is energy and awesome! I lvoe his shows very much. I was told that his personal blog was found at a celeb singles website called (MillMatch dot com) or something just like that. But I don't think he has enough time for writing a blog on the internet. Maybe it's done by his fans.

      Only Europeans and Gay men like this kind of Pop, dance, Europop CRAP! Swedish? Please, nothing from the Scandinavian countries has ever been good. Please Abba was your favorite, I am sure. EURO TRASH. Perez has no taste in music. She is a fat Swed!

      I was at this show, and it was AMAZING. As a fan from the early ninties, the highlight for me was the stripped down version of "Show Me Love" she sang during her encore. Great pop from a great singer. It's been awhile since we've had that Stateside.

      37

      Hey Perez and loyal readers! I was at this show too and I must say it was absolutely AMAZING. Robyn said that it was almost 10 years to the day that her first album was released in the US and that this was her first time performing a concert in the US EVER! Robyn gave so much energy and the crowd did know every word to every song, although most songs were from her latest album that hasn't even been released in the US yet. (I bought the import a while ago though!) Robyn seemed SO happy and even a bit overwhelmed at the audiences crazy love and support for her. To me, it even looked like she was almost brought to tears a time or two.
      AMAZING show, AMAZING artist. The US still loves Robyn!!!!

      Being 100% Swedish myself, I am very proud of the little girl from Sweden!!!

As a Swede living in the US since a while back I am proud and happy for her!!! Now if she could only come to St Louis, MO!!! Heja Robyn!!!

      Perez - thank you for introducing her to all of us who otherwise are not cool enough to have known about her - I miss this style of pop music so much and got her album on a visit to europe after listening here.

      GET her to come to Boston please! We'd love to see her play live here.

      58

      SHE IS SOOOOO AMAZING!!!! I just ordered some CDs of her music and let me say, HOT, HOT, HOT!!! I still have my original copy of "robyn is here" her US release, circa 1997. Does anyone remember that?
      Wish I could be there on Saturday, but I can't afford the tix. Have fun for me Perez!!! I've been waiting for her to come our way!!!

    59. Harriet_Hellfire says – reply to this


      59

      I remember when she released her first single in Sweden, she was like 15 or 16 and said things like "but I feel black on the inside".
      I do think she is very talented though, and I think her old label is going to regret dropping her.

      I was at the Robyn show last night and I have to say that it was fantastic! She was great and had such an infectious, positive energy. My friends and I had a great time, with the exception of the Tom Cruise/Dorothy Hamill looking douchebag who pushed his way in front of me. If Robyn weren't so cute, I'm positive I would have smashed him over the head with my beer bottle.

      granted Robyn looks like she might have fallen from the 90's but its so clear how much she is loving whats she'd doing. and thats what makes music magical.. (yeah i said magical, but its really early right now)

      Perez has passed along some amazing artists and I know will continue to do so. ROBYN however is for me his crown jewel… well Mika and Amy also, but Robyn is just the shiz. I remember her from back in the day but this beyatch just knows how to throw down some sick ass music! That crowd was amazing, the performance incredible and just a win win. THANK YOU for that video Perez. w00t

      #23, go and get some information about the musicindustry ’cause you sure seem to have enormous gaps in that knowledge of yours. And what do you mean by saying that there's nothing good coming from Scandinavia? I bet you're just one of those americans that never ever been anywhere else but still think that you know everything. Go and look where your celebrities come from in the first place, I bet many of them have grandparents from European countries.. Idiot.
