Body Talk

Overall ... Body Talk is more focused than Robyn, and just as bold in the intimacy it creates with listeners.

Over the course of Body Talk, Robyn has proved that there’s real emotion to be found among the ones and zeros of electronic music, and Pt 3. is the culmination of that outlook: euphoric, personal, and inspirational to the last beat.

To say this has been Robyn’s year is an understatement.

No matter how you consume it, Body Talk matches Robyn's brilliance, and further shows that no one puts music to a beat as marvelously as Robyn Carlsson.

With Body Talk, Robyn ups the ante for pop stars across the radio dial and raises her own chances of appearing on yours.

Robyn takes a range of styles from dancehall and rap to house and disco and melds them with her big pop sound featuring four-to-the-floor beats and thoughtful, unsentimental lyrics about love and loneliness.

You could argue that Robyn does sexy, bolshy, catchy pop so effortlessly... that Body Talk should have been edited into a straightforward killer pop album. 

Body Talk concludes a triptych of highly enjoyable pop albums. Let’s hope we don’t have to wait another five years for the next batch.

Robyn’s Body Talk is one of the year’s finest, most progressive pop albums, but it’s also something of a minor letdown as a standalone project.

This disc cherry-picks from two previous Body Talk EPs while tossing in five new tracks. It all adds up to the best dance-pop album of 2010.

One of the best albums released this year.

Proof that it's possible to have both quantity and quality.

Body Talk is a cornucopia of cherry-picked songs from her three-part mini-album series this year, and the compilation approach really comes through: it’s full of varied electropop production that suffers from a lack of cohesiveness.
