Robyn, the woman who single-handedly broke the glass ceiling reinventing Dance/Pop musique back in the mid to late 2000's leading the wave for the likes of Lady Gaga and Beyonce and the whole genre to metamorphosize. It always takes a great innovative spirit and intellect with a genuine passion for the history and future of music to move such musical mountains. A connoisseur. Or what we here like to call, the real fans of music versus casual band-wagon listeners. But with that comes great responsibility to the craft.
As artists know, when you're the first to do anything of its kind in life it's always met with fear and misunderstandings and whispers. Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding the man who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses instead to express his opinions courageously and honestly.
And with that, we've summed up a couple of reasonings for Robyn's 8-year absence yet simultaneous return to the musique scene. She was met with discredit, exploitation, exhaustion, and was just plain ol' fed up with the coattail riders of the industry. She woke up one day and turned on the airwaves only to hear all the music that she herself influenced and reinvented. So she disappeared to live life again and to hopefully find re-inspiration.
You can't evolve and continue to learn in life if your only environment is just carbon copies of your own style. You must relax relate release. So in the same vein, Robyn did just that. Like we stated before we've been waiting nearly eight years for a new Robyn album. Alas, that wait is almost over!
The Swedish icon/legend and innovator gave an update on the long-awaited follow-up to her last record "Body Talk." Saying that the album was “not finished yet but it’s almost there” and disclosed that it was influenced by ’90s house, club music, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, and Prince. Well, the first new single is here.
Entitled “Missing U”, Robyn took to Twitter to explain the song. “‘Missing U’ is a little bit of a message to my fans. That I’ve missed them. You know, I haven’t made an album in eight years, so I haven’t seen my fans for a long time either. So I think connecting back to them is important.”
She also went on to divulge that the other part of the song has to do when someone has deceived and treated they're relationship ill-fully, only to go on and miss the very same person they treated so badly. Of course, any brave and righteous soul would retreat such inferiority, hate, and envy.
The tune itself is five minutes of glorious synth-pop energy written by Robyn and produced with Metronomy’s Joseph Mount and longtime collaborator Klas Åhlund. Debuting “Missing U” on BBC Radio 1, Robyn also confirmed the new album will be out this year.
This tune is a sensual and soft yet poised electrifying song which remind those if you do us artists right, we're gonna do right by you, and if you keep it tight, we're gonna confide in you. And never be afraid yall to tell those who have deceived you, "Will you tell me once again. How we're gonna be just friends? If you're for real and not pretend." Remember, never abuse a one-of-kind and generous heart. A style that can never be duplicated or recycled. You may never be offered one again. So quite your missing and do right so you don't have to go missing anyone.
Without further ado get your boogie boots on and lets dance to outer space with Queen Robyn's "Missing U"!
