Swedish~ Stereo~

Feels like Musikhjälpen studio never had so many viewers outside the walls of glass studio. But no need to be surprised as its guest was the star of international scale and music pride of Sweden - Robyn.
Robyn performed piano-version of "Hang With Me" that probably was more proper for Christmas direction of the show and live-version of "With Every Heartbeat" - quite different from original but very nice. Enjoy!

Finally we've got ability to watch Robyn's live performances made for iheartradio in great quality and it's 4 brilliant performances of Robyn's most significant last singles "Hang With Me", "Dancing On My Own", "With Every Heartbeat", old classics "Show Me Love" and cover of Alicia Keys' "Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart".
Thanx for the tips to We Are Pop Slags blog.

Finally it has arrived - second part of Swedish pop-wonder Robyn album-trilogy "Body Talk" has leaked and Swedish Stereo's presenting its preview to you right here right now!
Comparing with the first part of "Body Talk" second one seems a little bit poppier but again it's quite original, full of experiments and loads of different styles.
Album starts with electro-pop anthemic "In My Eyes" with a light touch of Kylie's euphoria. "Include Me Out" is like a hello to Robyn of 90s - mature, filtered with electrosound-compressors, maybe even a bit futuristic but still having some great tunes for you. "Hang With Me" sounds like a great follow-up to best Robyn's singles "With Every Heartbeat" and "Dancing On My Own" - Kleerup-sounding, beautiful, heartbreaking dance-track with touching lyrics. "Love Kills" is probably the most clubby track with a dark meditative atmosphere and great dance arrangement. "We Dance To The Beat" sounds like brother of "Don't Fucking Tell Me What To Do" from previous part, repetative electronic track with Robyn's reverbed vocals. "Criminal Intent" and "U Should Know Better" (featuring Snoop Dogg) form hip-hop influenced part of the album though it's still wrapped into synth-sound and electro-samples. And finally just like previous part of "Body Talk" second contains acoustic track "Indestructible" with dramatic track with great melody and amazing strings part. Will it be new single from the third part? I'd dream about it! Check album preview yourself below.

Swedish Stereo is on the way back after small pause with updates caused by unexpected loads of job leaving me totally no free time to speak about so much of interesting stuff that I intended these days. I really hope you're still with me and we're coming back with what (or to be more accurate WHO) I left you with last week. I mean Robyn.
Surprisingly fast Robyn released new video for her forthcoming single "Hang With Me" and the video itself is cut of Robyn's life episodes on tour - performing, signing, spending time with her musicians, recording, playing, well, all of those things artists are about touring, it's very nicely shot by Max Vitali who also directed "Dancing On My Own". Single due to the last information from Robyn's site is planned for 16th August in Scandinavia, 17th August in the US and Canada, 3rd September in Germany, Switzerland and Holland and 5th September in the UK and Australia. Few days ago as well robyn.com revealed tracklist and cover of the second part of "Body Talk" trilogy so you can find it below.

Our beloved Poster Girl has just presented best news for today. Robyn's new single was aired on Radio 1 and the song is all kind of amazingness! It sounds like "Handle Me" melodics wrapped into "Dancing On My Own" sound. Great follow-up of the last single and comparing with "Dancing On My Own" this one sounds less tragic but not any less beautiful. The song (surprisingly for me) turned to be cover of Paola Bruna and you can hear original version on MuuMuse blog and convince yourself how far new version went from it. Earlier this year Robyn released acoustic version of this song on the first part of her trilogy "Body Talk Pt. 1" and on September 6th she plans to release new single along with the second part of "Body Talk".
