Robyn @ Heaven
Friday, June 18, 2010Ace Swedish popstar Robyn played a wonderful gig last night in Heaven.
Robyn is very much the hipster's popstar of choice. She slipped out on stage with her hair all sticking up, wearing tights, a corset belt, a white bra and an old shirt. It looked a bit like she'd walked through a wardrobe and clothes fell on her. Somehow, it all worked wonderfully.
She played an ace set of tunes from her new album Body Talk and previous album Robyn. "I'm giving it my all", she sings in her new song Dancing on my Own. It's definitely true: she dances like a demon: hands flying, fists flailing, shoulder shimmying, head bouncing, hearts beating. There's not much panache, just unabashed joy and enjoyment. Halfway through, her hair had fallen down, such was the intensity of her dancing.
And then there's the brilliant bits where she drums and bangs on cymbals.
"She is tearing it up!", exclaimed a friend I was with. She certainly was, with her own ace dancepop and collaborations The Girl & The Robot and With Every Heartbeat, she had the audience reaching dance euphoria.
