A Robyn Trio….

Hmm.. Not entirely sure what to make of this. According to [the very reputable] Pitchfork.com, Swedish comeback pop kid Robyn is set to release three albums in 2010.  Pitchfork: Swedish pop genius Robyn is coming back with three new albums that will roll out across 2010, according to an interview in Swedish magazine Bon. (Take that, Newsom!) Among her bounty of new, more “dance-oriented” songs is a “rap duel” with Snoop Dogg, a track produced by Röyksopp called “None of Dem” that she says sounds like a Timbaland song, one called “Fembot” that’s about “30-year-old women who want to get pregnant” (Robyn turned 30 last year), another one called “Don’t Fucking Tell Me What to Do”, and “Dance Hall Queen”, which was produced by Diplo and mysteriously found its way onto the internet earlier this month. So yeah, feel free to get excited.”

I know she’s making up for lost time, but I’m not sure three albums in one year is the best idea. Expect about 1/3 of it to be worthy of release. This harkens back to Prince in the 90′s for me; Warner Music took serious issue with his commercial overproductivity, so once he was “emancipated” from the label [his words], he released just about anything and everything he had. Sure we got a few good songs, but he saturated the market and his brand has still never recovered. Think twice, Robyn! We love you, but….Hmmmmm.
