Robyn Completes Body Talk Trilogy

10/21/2010
.
On November 22nd, Cherrytree Records will release Body Talk, the final in a trilogy of 2010 albums from Robyn.

With "Time Machine," one of the new tracks, Robyn comes full circle in her career, collaborating once again with Max Martin, who produced "Show Me Love" and "Do You Know (What It Takes)" on her first album, Robyn Is Here. Both songs charted in the Top 10 hits of the Billboard 100.

"Indestructible," an acoustic track with a surging string section on Body Talk PT 2, is transformed into a pulsating, fully electric dance floor gem on the new collection. Body Talk illustrates the breadth of Robyn's recent collaborations � from Diplo ("Dancehall Queen"), Kleerup ("In My Eyes") and Snoop Dogg ("U Should Know Better") to Royksopp ("None of Dem"), Savage Skulls ("Love Kills") and, of course, her longtime producer Klas Ahlund, who was instrumental in making the Body Talk trilogy.

Robyn, who performed her current single, "Dancing On My Own," with Deadmau5 at MTV's Video Music Awards, will appear in "Gossip Girl" as a surprise guest at Blair's birthday party. She'll perform "Hang with Me" in the episode, which will air on The CW on Monday, November 1st, at 9:00 p.m. She'll perform on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" on November 11th.

After wrapping up her current sold-out European/U.K. tour, Robyn will launch her second North American outing of 2010. Maluca and Natalia Kills will open on the upcoming run, which kicks off on November 5th in Miami Beach, FL. Robyn's recent "All Hearts" jaunt with Kelis was named by Spin as one of the "25 Must-See Summer Tours."

"I'm going to keep mixing up my tours with studio time and am hoping to stick to this new way of releasing music next year," Robyn explains. "This is the third, last part and completion of the Body Talk album. It was never my goal to break some kind of a world record in how many songs I could release in a year. Although I think it would count as a pretty good attempt, it's been about the process for me. It's been very interesting to try and figure out a more organic way of making music. A way that is unbiased and has its starting point in what feels logical to me, but also to the listeners.

"Even though it was never a conceptual idea, but a practical solution to the problem of getting bored with just doing one thing at a time, it has influenced not only the music, but all the visual content for the album as well. And the way I've communicated with press and listeners. It's been amazing to share the process with you. As soon as I have had an idea of what I'm doing so have the fans and that interaction has been super interesting and fun to me. As I'm writing this, I am still mixing the third album. There are five new songs ready to be released and I'm also including music from Body Talk PT 1 and 2 to complete this body of work in what will make the turbo version of the Body Talk album. Thanks for tagging along with me on this ride!"
