Free Music Notes for Rakamonie Ep
Free Music Review: The future...?
Hit: 5 Stars
Robyn is an important artist. In 1997, when she first emerged onto the scene with pop that was reminiscent of too much and lacked any serious US staying power, most wrote her off. I bought her album and then forgot that she existed. Perhaps one of the biggest mistakes I have ever made concerning my own musical enlightenment.
She released two albums after Robyn Was Here. My Truth and Don't Stop The Music, and while both were international hits, neither impacted the states and she continued to go unnoticed.
Now if the world had any justice to it, 2005's Robyn would have thrusted her into the spotlight she so rightly deserves, but it received a release only in her native country and was only available as a pricey import (and on iTunes for a short time before they made it disappear). But what we have here is "the future". It isn't often you see a CD single offer a name other than the song being released. The Rakamonie EP is the official UK release of her song "Konichiwa Bitches", along with a smattering of b-sides not likely to be found on an official album, except "Cobrastyle" which will be featured on the UK rerelease of Robyn.
***Random information. April 2nd heralds the new version of Robyn's self-titled album, which, as the previous reviewer mentioned, will contain the song "With Every Heartbeat" that she recorded with (Andreas) Kleerup.
Speaking of B-Sides, this EP features very strong supporting songs. Her remake of the Teddy Bears' "Cobrastyle" is quite inspired, and the ballad version of "Be Mine" is haunting without the beats of the original. "List of Demands" with Jenny Wilson is fast-paced and entertaining, while "Jack U Off", a Prince cover, is alarming in all the right ways. Robyn is a true musical breakthrough, even if you didn't know it four albums in. Prepare yourself, because she will change the face of music.
Rakamonie Ep Poster
She is Robyn. The most killingest pop star on the planet. A pint-sized atom bomb dispensing wisdom in three-minute modernist pop bulletins on the post-adolescent condition. Robin Miriam Carlsson was born in Stockholm, Sweden and spent the first seven years of her life touring with her director father and actress mother in their Constructivist-inspired theatre company. At the age of 13 she was discovered by Swedish pop singer Meja when singing a sad, self-written song about her parents' divorce in a school workshop. Already exploding in Sweden, The UK, France and Australia, Robyn has set her sights on America and is planning a pop overthrow.Dance & DJ Music CDs
