Robyn - Body Talk 4.5/5
Gaga's got her crazy wardrobe, Rihanna's feeling empowered on the dancefloor, Christina's gone burlesque, Pink's toasting her hits but no one loaded the dancefloor or ipods with dance-pop anthems full of raw emotion set to heart pumping beats in 2010 like Robyn. Body Talk, the full-length 15 track release brings her Body Talk trilogy full circle, with 5 new songs along with 5 from each of the previous installments, Robyn has produce the best dance-pop album of 2010.
The album's lead off single 'Indestructible' is ballad covered by pulsing synthesized chords, heavy bass and like her previous singles 'Hang With Me' and 'Dancing On My Own' honest songwriting that make Robyn the every girl's pop star without a hint of false pretenses. The album's new additions are equal to the task of the previous two installments, 'Call Your Girlfriend' Robyn sings from the view as the other woman, while 'Time Machine' reunites Robyn with the same team that brought her fame in the late 90s with 'Show Me Love,' for unapologetic pop at it's finest while 'Stars 4-Ever' is about love in full bloom to neon hues and a bouncing bass line.
Met with universal praise from critics and wisely keeping her tours to smaller venues, and limiting her saturation of singles, Robyn's been able to cultivate her fans and create a lasting following since the release of her first independent album 2005's brilliant self-titled album. She may be a pop star but she plays by a different set of rules and so far they've manage to help her produce the best dance-pop record of 2010.
