Robyn’s fifth record, Body Talk Pt. 1, is out now, and is the first in a proposed series of mini-albums that may finally put an end to the notorious problems she’s had in releasing her music in North America. This appearance on David Letterman’s show last night (July 19) to perform “Dancing On My Own” might help as well.
In fact, it’s difficult to see why the steely electropop Robyn pedals hasn’t reached a wider audience by now, especially when pale imitators like La Roux have reached far loftier heights. “I think we all feel a little better now don’t we?” says Letterman at the close of the performance—and for once he’s on the money.
