Metromix published this CD review that I did for Robyn’s self-titled album.
Discovered at the tender age of 13, Robyn achieved pop success in the U.S. and around the world in the ’90s. After “Show Me Love” shot her to near superstardom in ‘97, she had a series of business-side disappointments and went back to her native Sweden to regroup. Legend has it that she was so inspired by fellow Swedes the Knife that she bought herself out of her contract and started her own label, Konichiwa Records. Then she brought in Klas Ahlund from Teddybears and set about making the banging-est pop music possible. Finally, almost three years after its initial release, her self-titled comeback album arrives in the U.S.
