Robyn is a Swedish Singer who debuted in America in 1997. Her first album "Robyn Is Here" made a pretty good impact here. The CD was pretty mainstream R&B/ Pop music and both the singles "Do You Know (What It Takes)" and "Show Me Love" charted at number seven on the U.S. Billboard and "Do You Really Want Me (Show Respect)" charted at 28.
Two years later in 1999 Robyn was back with the even more R&B influenced "My Truth". The album was never released in the U.S. but did moderately well in her native Sweden.
It wouldn't be until 2003 that Robyn would release her third album "Don't Stop The Music". The album was slightly different from the previous one and was much more pop sounding. Similar to my truth it was not Released in the U.S. but charted at number 5 in Sweden.
A year or two after the release of her third CD she parted from her record company because she felt that they were not giving her enough freedom and were trying to marked her as the Swedish Christina Aguilera. Soon after she created her own independent Konichiwa Records. Then come 2005 she dropped her Fourth self titled album. It was a complete change in Robyn's sound, dropping the conventional pop and R&B and adopting a very Electronic/ Experimental sound. The album was an immediate hit in Sweden, becoming her first number one selling CD and garnering much critical acclaim. This inspired her to release the album in different territories. In 2006 she released the five track Rakamonie Ep in the U.K. as a way of re-introducing herself to the territory. This was followed in 2007 by the U.K. release of her "Robyn" album. The song "With Every Heartbeat" became a huge hit and shot straight up the charts to number one.
With this accomplishment Robyn got the inspiration she needed to attempt to reenter the U.S. market. In January of 2008 she re-released the Rakamonie Ep to the United States and then three months later the U.S. version of the "Robyn" album was released. Again the album gained Critical acclaim and became a favorite of club goers everywhere. The album managed to peak at 100 in the top 200 albums charts and spawned the top 5 dance hits "Handle Me" and "With Every Heartbeat" and the number seven charting Dance hit "Cobrastyle".
In early 2009 the acoustic 3 trackEp the Cherrytree sessions was released and Robyn announced plans for a new album to come in late 2009. She is a really amazing artist and every CD is really good in its own way so i would take your time to download every one of them and then go out and buy them.
