I can't stop listening to...Robyn

I like pop music. I am not ashamed of it nor do I think I need to apologize for it. Within the genre of pop music, I would say I am inclined to gravitate to women pop singers of a certain age (usually under the age of 18, certainly never over the age of 25). These girls are so capable of capturing my entire emotional range in a 3 minute song that its scary - OMG, how did Miley know that hearing Jay Z makes me feel at ease even in the most uncertain circumstances?! And Taylor's ability to capture what true love is like makes me cry sometimes (granted I always envision myself as the Romeo part, but you get the picture - LOLZ).

Anyway, Robyn isn't that kind of pop music. Yes, she is a female but she is actually a woman in her 30s I believe. I know most of you think thats the era when most pop singers should be posing in playboy to regain the spotlight, but she is something entirely different. This is like good music that just happens to be in the pop genre. Here are a few songs from her most recent album and they are really good - I hope you enjoy them. In terms of Swedish imports she has already cracked the top 3 and who knows what her ceiling is? (First is obviously Peter Forsberg while second I would say goes to the young Mrs. Tiger Woods).

Robyn - Cry When you Get Older

Robyn - Dancing on my own

Robyn - Fembot

PS - If anyone cares, this album is 5 bucks at Amazon for August.
