Robyn Is Here

Robyn Is Here is the debut album by Swedish pop singer Robyn. It was released by Ariola Records in 1995 in Sweden, in 1996 in Japan by Sony Music Japan, and in the United States on 24 June 1997 by BMG with an alternate track listing. In 1998, the album was certified platinum in the U.S, and has sold more than 922,000 copies according to Nielsen SoundScan. Worldwide, the album has sold over 1.5 million copies. The album is mainly written and produced by Swedish production team Ghost, with all songs co-written by Robyn. Denniz Pop and Max Martin produced two of the album's four singles, "Do You Know (What It Takes)" and "Show Me Love". Both peaked at number seven in the U.S., while the latter peaked at number eight in the UK.

Critical reception

Writing for Melody Maker in February 1998, Peter Robinson described Robyn Is Here as an "impressive album" and highlighted it as an alternative to other contemporaneous pop acts; "While the music loses its edge stretched over 13 tracks, and at the same time surrenders its subtlety when heard on a song-by-song basis, Robyn Is Here is nonetheless a slinky, funky album, and for all those disappointed by the weediness of Louise, disillusioned by the Spice Girls, or distracted by the hastily drafted in Kim Wilde lookalike factor of All Saints, Robyn's your gal." In his consumer guide for MSN Music, critic Robert Christgau gave the album a B+ rating, indicating "remarkable one way or another, yet also flirts with the humdrum or the half-assed". Christgau described it as "So front-loaded it could almost be a vinyl album with a hot side and a cool side", but commented that "a few spins in, you notice a hint of velvet in her timbre—more like suede, really—that suggests not sensuality but emotional depth".

    Robyn (album)

    Robyn is the fourth studio album by Swedish recording artist Robyn. It was released on 27 April 2005 by Konichiwa Records. The album represented a change in Robyn's musical style, in which she explored synthpop and dance-pop music, with inspirations from electronic duo The Knife and rock band Teddybears. It also marks Robyn's first album release on her own record label, Konichiwa Records, which she founded in 2005.

    The album debuted at number one on the Swedish Albums Chart in 2005, becoming Robyn's first-ever number-one album on the chart. It was released Internationally in 2007, two years after it was originally released. The album received a nomination for Best Electronic/Dance Album at the 2009 Grammy Awards. Five singles were released from the album: "Be Mine!", "Who's That Girl", UK number one song "With Every Heartbeat", "Konichiwa Bitches" and "Handle Me".

    Background

    In 2003, Robyn left her record label, Jive Records, because of the lack of artistic control offered to her by the label. The previous year she had released her third album, Don't Stop the Music, but felt disillusioned by the label's attempt to market her as the next Christina Aguilera in the United States. Robyn described the album as a "big compromise" and was upset because she "was going backwards" and not "doing what [she] wanted to".
