She got the whole world dancing to the music in her head

It’s only about a decade overdue, but the UK is finally awash with Robyn mania! This week With Every Heartbeat was single of the week on Radio 1 and my local radio, and I even chanced upon a short interview with her on Oxford’s hideously mainstream Fox FM. It really was a surreal moment, one I never thought I would hear. But it just proves that with patience and persistence, great music will get the success it deserves. It’s only a shame that this means we’ll probably not have a new Robyn album til at least late 2008 (she’ll have to release Be Mine and Konichiwa Bitches, and could have a hit with any of the album tracks if she wanted), and ‘Robyn’ was my favourite album of 2005! On the other hand, I’m still the most famous reviewer of that album (and Robyn in general), as my Stylus review of it is the first result when you Google “Robyn review”.
