Song of the Week: "The Girl and the Robot" by Robyn



Robyn spent a good chunk of her career with a bad rap from the 90s. But she went dark, retooled, re-armed, and came roaring back; this year alone she's released three LPs. Off of Body Talk Part 1 we have “The Girl and the Robot”. It's a sinister and industrialized kind of pop raucous. It seems lyrically oriented around your standard references of desire and paranoia. However, its layering on top of such a cleverly constructed yet evil in its overtones beat is pretty sharp. What do you think? Is it crap pop poetry or something more jarringly unique?
