Wonder how long 100% for Body Talk Pt 1 and Dancing On My Own will last

Love her. 5

Might abstain on this one. Dancing on My Own is an all time perfect song, but aside from a couple of other hits which are great (Every Heartbeat, Call Your Girlfriend) I don’t really know much by her. Guess I’ll listen to the album everyone rates.

Never really got her stuff but not really in a position to rate her I reckon.

5!!!

Love her so much

Yet another pop singer that everyone seems to love that I just don’t get.
Abstain / 5

She’s superb. The archetype and model of the twenty-first century pop star - impossibly catchy, emotionally complex, fiercely independent, absolutely uncompromising. She’s been massively influential and released the greatest pop single of the last ten years.

My only hesitation about giving her top marks was the frustrating paucity of material she produces (effectively three albums in the last 15 years). All that stuff is pretty much perfect though, so 5.

4 outta 5. The hits are as close to perfect as you’re going to get but find some of the deeper cuts very samey

Just got the name reference :grinning:

5 still a bit annoyed that the last tour didn’t come to Manchester (or it did and it was at Victoria Warehouse or we were on holiday)

Gonna have to abstain and investigate further based on what comes out of the polls. But Dancing On My Own is pretty much perfect.

Abstain/5. Dancing on my Own is perfect, but I know nothing else

The album situation is complex, because there are those overlapping versions of Body Talk and also two almost completely different versions of Robyn

4/5. Some of the best modern pop singles of the last decade.

My favourite ‘pop star’ of the last 20 years. Innovative, fearless, a trailblazer for a whole generation of pop.

She does that happy / sad thing better than anyone currently operating, has made three excellent pop albums - of which for my money Honey is the best - and fuses her influences into her sound rather than ripping them off like most. ‘Honey’ the track sounds so like Koze (another of me heroes) but in a way that it’s equal to his best work, rather than pastiche.

That song, plus Be Mine!, With Every Heartbeat, Call Your Girlfriend, Dancing on My Own are all perfect.

And her minor stuff is well worth checking out too. Collaboration with Royksopp is great (adore Monument), ‘Dream On’ with Christian Falk (the subject of Missing U) is excellent & the La Bagatelle EP is cool.
