Robyn - Body Talk Pt. 1 4/5 There are few pop stars as provocative or inspiring as Robyn, at 31 she is in complete control of her own destiny, with her first record in five years, she controls not only her image but the direction of her musical progression. Robyn's sexuality counteracts that of Christina or Britney, by being provocatively anti-sexual, it's precisely what makes Swedish bombshell so sexy.
At her best when her raw emotion bleeds onto every track, notably on the standout "Dancing On My Own," equal to that of breakout hit "With Every Heartbeat." The short record, one of three, not to be confused for an opus, is a mis-step in the Swedish folk ballad "Jag vet en dejlig rosa," and the lyrically strong but out of place "Hang With Me," an acoustic piano ballad.
Robyn's footing is on the dance floor with, like the Royksopp collaboration, "None of Dem." The album is thin at eight tracks, but stacked with great tracks, that strut Robyn's undeniable talent, and cement her as one of the best pop acts around. Full of brash lyrics and erotic beats, Body Talk Pt.1 is delicious pop candy.
