Fresh Face | Robyn
Swedish export ROBYN is not so much of a "fresh face" as she is "revived vintage." The 28-year-old blond from Stockholm burst out into the pop music scene in the mid '90s with her infectious hits "Do You Really Want Me (Show Respect)" and "Show Me Love." However, after the release of her debut album, Robyn Is Here, Robyn's powerhouse vocals seemed to disappear from radio airwaves, at least in North America.
In Sweden and the majority of Europe, Robyn continued to bring the hits with singles like "Keep This Fire Burning," "O Baby," and "Who's That Girl" on two records, My Truth and Don't Stop the Music. And when her label, Jive Records reacted badly to her more electronic-based sound, Robyn left and created her own label, Konichiwa Records.
Robyn released an eponymous album in 2005, which was re-released in the UK in 2007. She's supposedly planning a big international comeback, and with her catchy, original dance-pop, there's no doubt that you'll be hearing Robyn back on North American radio very soon.
Listen to Robyn (under the cut)!
