Robyn Rolls Back Around Part II : "Fembot" in Full

I've already mentioned the new Robyn track last week. Fembot was put up on her official as a further teaser for more pop amazingness later on in the year. What a great excuse to post a lovely picture of her, (which I by no means robbed from Pitchfork. Ahem).:


The track leaked in full and while I certainly wouldn't condone listening to the final version in a less than illegal manner (tut tut iLeaks, ahem) I would point out that the full thing is every bit as amazing as the preview. From the judder-y hip hop beat to that lodge in the head hook, it's that pefect pop moment where everything you love about an artist is maintained but you still get to hear something fresh. You can't help but feel Robyn really crafts her sound and with all this new music coming from her this year we can only imagine. 

On the subject of random Robyn things, this remains one of my favourite tracks on that rather fabulous self titled album:

Robyn Rolls Back Around: New Track Preview Hits Website


Following news that she was preparing three new albums for release this year (THREE!) Robyn set pop fans heart alight. Having milked her fantastic self titled album for five years across the world she has built up a diverse fanbase and scored herself a UK number one in the process.



A video from a documentary on the Swedish star leaked last week with some new song snippets throughout, all of which sound suitably amazing (get more on the video here)


And now Robyn has posted a new track preview on her official site, entitled Fembot. With the killer opening line "I've got news for you/fembots have feelings too" it feels like typical Robyn but with enough advancements to suggest fresh ideas abound. Immediate chorus, jittery production, layers of attitude with that typically sweet but deliberate vocal delivery, it's a charming slice of pop. This is yet another exciting teaser for the return of one of pop music's most interesting figures.

See Robyn.com for the preview. Cannot wait to hear more! Pitchfork also has an interview with her too, give it a look
