”It’s rather disheartening that Robyn hasn’t achieved the type of fame as headliner Katy Perry, or fellow fashion-savvy songstress Lady Gaga. She exceeds at every post a pop star should maintain, with her grace, charm and outrageous talent, which she remains humble about. She is a real and accessible person, no bullshit, just straightforward lyricism and music. Robyn succeeds on that universal plane—she can touch an emotional level and reach her entire audience, something music and musicians themselves should constantly strive for in a challenging way. This universal appeal cannot be seen in something like Rihanna, because she doesn’t actually strive for anything. It’s hard to identify with songs about nothing.”
Robyn put out these albums on her own record label, taking on subjects intellectually and producing original content.
In a dream world, Robyn sits in Lady Gaga’s throne, enlightening the masses and plaguing Top 40 radio with intellectual hits. Robyn has the ability to achieve it, to conquer pop music, but listeners need to want it first.
