Somehow missed that she was touring! Perhaps because the new album ... had no impact?The presales crashed for days due to demand and tickets sold out in an hour or two. Why would they then spend money on advertising for months afterward?

yeah i missed the London tix, they sold out in a nanosecond

i think there's still MSG tix available but i dunno. She can pack a house!

That extended transition between 'Be Mine' and 'Because It's In The Music' had me practically in tears omg

Your parents wouldn’t look at a photograph of Robyn and recognize her signature snaggletooth
wtf
― steven, soda jerk (sic), Wednesday, 27 February 2019 18:14 (five years ago) link
that's a terribly written report
― akm, Thursday, 28 February 2019 15:25 (five years ago) link
It's fantastic how big she is in the UK now, i mean.. 2 nights at Ally Pally is crazy, it seems just a few years back i was watching her in the basement of the University bar.
― piscesx, Thursday, 28 February 2019 15:36 (five years ago) link
it was significantly more than a few years ago :)

I know right.. 2008 it turns out. She covered Buffalo Stance! No memory of this.

looks like she's closing her current shows with this remix of "Who Do You Love" which i'd never heard before and is really fantastic

Speaking of Robyn and Kindness
Almost exactly five years ago Kindness asked me to write with them on something beautiful they were working on and we wrote a song called Cry Everything together which is finally ready and released.https://t.co/7zF2Wcbznk pic.twitter.com/neDC8DqfCp— Robyn (@robynkonichiwa) March 8, 2019
I’m so glad to be a part of this record with Todd Rundgren and Fabiana Palladino. Mostly I just want to say congratulations to Kindness on the release of this amazing piece of music that has that special feeling that makes me love your work so much. Now it’s out in the world 💜— Robyn (@robynkonichiwa) March 8, 2019

that would have stressed me out

i will remain forever pressed that "dancing on my own" is the clear favorite among american robyn fans

looks fucking awful

I saw Robyn live for the first time this week and it was emotional. Nicely picked setlist where the new songs slotted in with her older material very smoothly. She's such a star.

yeah, I love Robyn and regret not getting tickets to this show, but not everyone on the subway loves Robyn and/or wants to be loudly sung at during their commute home (especially since it's "call your girlfriend"; sure hope no one who happened to be on the E train got dumped recently only to hear 500 randos singing the "dumping people rules" song at them)
― theorizing your yells (katherine), Sunday, 10 March 2019 21:43 (five years ago) link
It’s “Dancing On Your Own” they’re singing though, as noted above, not “Call Your Girlfriend”. (I’m all for people having a good time btw, both in or outside the subway)
― breastcrawl, Sunday, 10 March 2019 21:54 (five years ago) link
“...On My Own” even
― breastcrawl, Sunday, 10 March 2019 21:55 (five years ago) link
huh, the one upthread must have been a different video -- I could have sworn I saw someone post one the night of where it was "Call Your Girlfriend"
― theorizing your yells (katherine), Sunday, 10 March 2019 22:45 (five years ago) link
I thought it was nice
but if I encountered them irl I'd want to murder them all

more details on the three-part album - no more Robyn, but other collaborators of hers in future parts

Surprised no reports from the latest dates. Meantime, only just noticed this exists.

Seems like she’s sticking with the same setlist.

No need to mess with perfection.

Same tbh

watching her on the p4k festival stream and her live show sounds really, really good. hope she manages to make it over here
― ufo, Monday, 22 July 2019 02:18 (five years ago) link
her band is really fantastic and have managed to very effectively translate the songs to a looser live sound, and a lot of the songs transition seamlessly together, and the reworks of older tracks are wonderful too
― ufo, Monday, 22 July 2019 02:42 (five years ago) link
Oh, I can report the Barclays show was absolutely fantastic!!

no they were just opening for her at barclays
― ufo, Tuesday, 23 July 2019 01:27 (five years ago) link
She was quite good, and I admire her avoidance of the bangers: she played a long deep house playlist in essence.
