Robin Miriam Carlsson, Aka Robyn was born yesterday on June 12Th in 1979. Aside from being a favorite here at the offices, in case you didn't already know, our little Robyn is a brilliant and innovative Swedish singer-songwriter who's been making musique for two decades now. Known in the 90s for her pop hits like "Show Me Love" and "Do You Really Want Me" (a track I owned back in Junior High in CD single format). Robyn later became disappointed with her record label at the time (Jive) and decided to take a break from musique to regain complete creative control of her art.
Well it was only a matter of time until she gained worldwide success following her hit album simply entitled 'Robyn'. With hit single such as "With Every Heartbeat" and "Be Mine", Robyn has proved she has no plans on going anywhere!
Konichiwa Records (which Robyn started-up after leaving Jive) signed an international licensing deal with Universal Music Group to distribute Robyn's music all around the world. Tunes such as "Handle Me" and "Cobrastyle" were top ten club hits, and garnered descent airplay in U.S. dance radio stations.
In an interview for Swedish magazine Bon, Robyn spoke about her new album 'Body Talk' out now... "I will be releasing three new albums in 2010. The first is due in the spring, with subsequent albums released in the summer and autumn/winter. She goes on to say, "I think this splitting a full album up into different releases is, in a way, how people listen to music as well. It’s more about songs now." "But for me this is not an EP or a lesser version of an album. It’s an album, but it’s maybe not the normal length." Check out the first single with thee accompanying video entitled "Dancing On My Own" right below...
