Robyn biography

Robyn (born June 12, 1979) otherwise known as Robin Miriam Carlsson is a Swedish pop singer/songwriter and label founder from Stockholm, Sweden.

Prior to her life in the music industry Robyn found herself providing the voices for a number of animated films, including the Swedish/Norwegian film “The Journey to Meolonia” and “All Dogs Go to Heaven”. Having recorded and performed theme songs and self-written songs on the television at the age of twelve, following her graduation of middle school, the singer singed to Ricochet Records Sweden. The collaboration between Robyn and producer Max Martin and Denniz Pop provided the

Robyn’s first taste of the pop world was when she signed with RCS Record in 1994 and released her debut single “You’ve Got That Somethin’” and later the Swedish breakthrough track “Do You Really Want Me (Show Respect)” both of which subsequently found their way onto Robyn’s first full-length album “Robyn Is Here” released in October 1996. The album topped the Swedish charts and re-released over a year later in the U.S. the track “Do You Know (What It Takes)” reacher the top ten, as did “Show Me Love”.

Robyn’s sophomore release in 1999 of “The Truth”, an autobiographical album, didn’t receive the international release of its predecessor, as the record label didn’t think there would be any appeal in the U.S. The hit single “Electric” was extremely popular throughout Europe and the album was just pipped of the top-spot in the Swedish chart. The same year the singer collaborated with the Swedish musician Christian Falk, as well as becoming UNICEF ambassador, and left to travel the world for two years.

Her return brought a change of label, from RCA to Jive Records, and a new album “Don’t Stop The Music” released in 2002, which remained an exclusive Swedish release. Tired of the lack of creative control and inspired by fellow countrymen The Knife, Robyn terminated her contract with Jive records, formed her own label Konichiwa in 2005, which propelled Robyn’s creative license and musical success. Robyn’s self-titled album released in the same year saw the Swedish singer earn multiple Swedish Grammy Awards for, Best Album, Best Female Pop Artist, and Best Songwriter. The ballad “With Every Heartbeat” reconfirmed Robyn’s place within UK chart reaching No. 1.

2010 brought a whopping three albums from the songstress, the two mini albums “Body Talk Pt.1”, “Body Talk Pt. 2” and the full-length “Body Talk” choosing Diplo, Röyksopp and Snoop Dog to collaborate on the releases.

Live reviews

Sweden's pop dignitary, Robyn – usurping the crown from ABBA – is an exemplary talent. She's equal parts brutally honest, gut-wrenchingly agonising, jaw-pain hilarious and boogie-bait. There's nary a popstar around with more party-galvanising choons that the Scandinavian star. Utilising her native region's famous knack for incisive Top 40 infernos and striking synth-based salvoes, Robin Carlsson (alter-ego of Robyn) oozes brilliance from nigh every pore. Tracks like “With Every Heartbeat”, “Call Your Girlfriend”, “Hang With Me”, “Dancing On My Own”, “Dancehall Queen”, “Cobrastyle” and “Criminal Intent” are blinding examples of her igniting, invigorating pop grandeur – almost every track on the Body Talks trilogy is a genuine hit – but with the addition of her new material, collaborations with Röyksopp, any performance will be encrusted with singalong rampages.
With palpable emotions, reworkings of album paeans (into cranked-up megaliths), technicolour garments, pitch-perfect delivery, neon belligerence and swaggerlicious movements, expect AV perfection from Robyn.

Report

There’s certain bands from the Madchester scene who never quite burnt out in the way that some of the more prominent acts did; Happy Mondays, of course, collapsed in comical fashion under the weight of eye-watering levels of drug use and, if you’re to believe the historically-dubious Tony Wilson biopic 24 Hour Party People, threats to the Factory boss at gunpoint, whilst the wheels also came off in pretty spectacular fashion for The Stone Roses in the mid-nineties after the half-baked Second Coming flopped. 808 State, though, always had enough cult appeal to remain a going concern; they were formed out of the dance-oriented Manchester record store Eastern Bloc (which still exists today, albeit on different premises) and soon set about bringing house and electro sounds to the clubbers of Manchester, particularly at the Hacienda. They’ve had an impressive legacy in the years since, too, with Aphex Twin just one of a host of contemporary acts to credit 808 State with having influenced their career. They haven’t released an album since Outpost Transmission in 2003 - which featured Guy Garvey of Elbow - but still play live sets across the country to crowds made up partly of nostalgists and partly of house and dance aficionados, confirming their place in British dance music history.
