Vocal Treasure

The Big One found this for me the other day, isn't it amaze-balls!

Skillz.

My love of Robyn's music is well documented on here...this is my song of the week.

I CANNOT stop listening/dancing/singing along to it.

A-Mazing Robyn

When I saw her live last year I was struck by how incredible a dancer she was....now you can see too! This is her first song of her new album. 

Exciting times!

I Blame Coco

I am a bit of a cultural snob when it comes to famous offspring, I am far rather ready to find fault and criticise then wait, listen and then decide how much credit I give their work. This habit of discrimination was hard to avoid when it came to Coco Sumner.

I had seen pictures and hype about her waaaay before I could access any of her music so I dismissed her as yet another daddy's girl who had doors opened for her rather then knocking them down. This still may have been the case but it's kind of irrelevant cos she's really good. Well at least I like her, her tone, her lyrics, the production. The fact Robyn co-wrote a song (Ceasar) which features on her album is obvs a huge thumbs up for me. Plus she reminds me of Ladyhawke.

I actually properly sought out her music because of Robyn, I noticed Coco Sumner was in one of Robyn's videos, it was footage of them being interviewed together and if Robyn likes her, well then I thought she's worth a look up.

I started to listen to some of the tracks on her 'The Constant' album and really liked them so bought it.

I'm really pleased I did, hopefully I'll take the time to listen to the next daughter/son of Mr and Mrs Already Very Famous before growling.

I do however still think Peaches Geldof is a nepotistic waster.

The Countdown is ON!

In 17 days The Big One is taking me to see Robyn live!!!

I have never seen her perform live although I have seen several televised concerts and I could not be more excited!  I am a huge fan of her voice and songs, such deeply powerful and earnest lyrics set to a variety of electro/house beats that you cannot resist getting up and dancing to. Pop music genius!

PLUS how could I not mention how FiErCe the lady looks - always championing new designers and styling it up something mad-good. It is a well posted fact on here that I am obsessed by her undercut circa 'Be Mine'.

I got Body Talk Part 2 the other day and have not stopped listening to it and imagining throwing my head back and dancing like I have no cares when we go to see her.

I came across this today and actually 'whooped' in anticipation!

Kärlek....

BIG fan of Robyn since her last album. Downloaded 'Body Talk Part One' the other day and CANNOT stop listening to it. Love her tone, lyrics, style and attitude.

Seriously wanted her shaved undercut hair circa Cobrastyle.
