Body Talk (Robyn album)

Body Talk is the seventh studio album by Swedish singer Robyn, released on 22 November 2010 by Konichiwa Records. Robyn first announced in early 2010 that she would release three mini-albums throughout the course of 2010. However, it was later announced that a full-length album would be released instead of a third mini-album. The first two mini-albums of what was dubbed the Body Talk series, Body Talk Pt. 1 and Body Talk Pt. 2, were released in June and September 2010. While being a separate studio album in its own right, the full-length release also serves as a compilation album, containing the "best songs" from the first two entries in the Body Talk series in addition to five new songs. In certain territories, the new songs were also available separately as an extended play released the same day, titled Body Talk Pt. 3. The four songs and two acoustic versions from the project that were excluded from the original track listing were later included on the German iTunes and 2019 Record Store Day vinyl versions of the album.

Background and development Edit

"[...] It was never my goal to break some kind of a world record in how many songs I could release in a year. Although I think it would count as a pretty good attempt, it's been about the process for me. It's been very interesting to try and figure out a more organic way of making music. A way that is unbiased and has its starting point in what feels logical to me, but also to the listeners.

Even though it was never a conceptual idea, but a practical solution to the problem of getting bored with just doing one thing at a time, it has influenced not only the music, but all the visual content for the album as well. And the way I've communicated with press and listeners. [...]"[5]

— Robyn explaining the concept of the Body Talk series

In an interview with Swedish magazine Bon, Robyn announced that she had plans to release three new albums in 2010.[6] She said, "I got all these great songs so why not? [...] It's been 5 years since Robyn and I didn't want to wait with a release until they are all recorded, so I decided to start putting them out right away."[7] Robyn told Popjustice journalist Peter Robinson, "It's been a long time since I actually made a record! And I was thinking of how to shorten that time down and Eric, my manager, came up with the idea of what if I just start releasing songs, then I can tour them, then I can make some more songs. We started working like that. I think once it starts it will make more sense – you can just keep releasing stuff without the long breaks."[8] Robyn collaborated with Swedish producer Max Martin on the song "Time Machine".[9] Martin was responsible for producing Robyn's US breakthrough hits "Do You Know (What It Takes)" and "Show Me Love", which both charted inside the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 in 1996 and 1997. She said of the collaboration: "It was nostalgic to go back into the studio together. For me, it's perfect timing – I've come full circle. It's a way for me to show that I'm not trying to distance myself from where I come from. It's still all about the songs."[10]

Release and promotion Edit

On 20 October 2010, Robyn announced the details of Body Talk on her official website, along with the track listing and artwork.[5] She described the album as the "turbo version of the Body Talk album", as it includes five songs from each previous Body Talk album along with five new songs.[5]

Singles Edit

Robyn announced the release of the single, "Indestructible", on 13 October 2010.[11] An acoustic version appeared on her previous album, Body Talk Pt. 2. The song was released on 1 November 2010 in Scandinavia and one day later in the United States.[12] It is co-written by Klas Åhlund, and has been described as a "pulsating full power version [that] takes every ounce of that emotion and wraps it up in another exceptional disco-pop record worthy of any dance-floor or passion-laden sing-a-long."[11] The second single, "Call Your Girlfriend", was released on 1 April 2011.[13]

Body Talk received acclaim from most music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 86, based on 19 reviews, which indicates "universal acclaim".[15] Music critic Jonathan Keefe from Slant Magazine said the album is "a testament to Robyn's truly forward-thinking take on contemporary pop music and to her rare ability to infuse chilly, futuristic soundscapes with genuine emotion and soul." Keefe also said that Body Talk "impresses for its thematic focus and laser-precise editing" and that the album is "one of the year's finest, most progressive pop albums".[25] The A.V. Club also felt that the album is "hands-down the best dance-pop album of the year," and praised it as "euphoric, personal, and inspirational to the last beat", saying that it "proves there's still room for smart, mature songwriting and heartfelt performance in the high-gloss world of club music," and noting the presence of "real emotion (...) among the ones and zeros of electronic music."[17]

Entertainment Weekly said that "Spectacular Swedish import Robyn continues to languish in the cult-act remainder bin, but these 15 excellently curated tracks deserve to change that."[18] Pitchfork stamped it with its "Best New Music" label.[23] Rolling Stone said it was "the best dance-pop album of 2010", with every song being "both immaculately catchy and packed with quirks".[24] musicOMH said that Body Talk "shows just how easily [Robyn] can churn out hits more frequently than labels can process production teams."[26] AllMusic music critic Heather Phares said that "Releasing that much new music within six months was a feat in and of itself, but the fact that each part of Body Talk was so consistent made the whole project even more impressive." Phares said that the album's appeal "isn't just experimental: by picking the best of the project's songs, it feels like a greatest-hits collection and brand new album rolled into one."[16]

Accolades Edit

Body Talk was chosen the 2nd best album released in 2010 by Popjustice and Slant Magazine,[35] the 3rd best album released in 2010 by Entertainment Weekly,[31] MTV and Billboard,[40][41] the 10th best album of 2010 by both The A.V. Club and Spin,[27][39] and was also selected as the 14th best album of 2010, by Rolling Stone.[42] Pitchfork listed Body Talk as the eighth best album of the 2010s.[43] In 2020, Rolling Stone ranked the album number 196 in the reboot of their 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list.

how many songs I could release in a year Although I think it would count as a pretty good attempt it s been about the process for me It s been very interesting to try and figure out a more organic way of making music A way that is unbiased and has its starting point in what feels logical to me but also to the listeners Even though it was never a conceptual idea but a practical solution to the problem of getting bored with just doing one thing at a time it has influenced not only the music but all the visual content for the album as well And the way I ve communicated with press and listeners 5 Robyn explaining the concept of the Body Talk series In an interview with Swedish magazine Bon Robyn announced that she had plans to release three new albums in 2010 6 She said I got all these great songs so why not It s been 5 years since Robyn and I didn t want to wait with a release until they are all recorded so I decided to start putting them out right away 7 Robyn told Popjustice journalist Peter Robinson It s been a long time since I actually made a record And I was thinking of how to shorten that time down and Eric my manager came up with the idea of what if I just start releasing songs then I can tour them then I can make some more songs We started working like that I think once it starts it will make more sense you can just keep releasing stuff without the long breaks 8 Robyn collaborated with Swedish producer Max Martin on the song Time Machine 9 Martin was responsible for producing Robyn s US breakthrough hits Do You Know What It Takes and Show Me Love which both charted inside the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 in 1996 and 1997 She said of the collaboration It was nostalgic to go back into the studio together For me it s perfect timing I ve come full circle It s a way for me to show that I m not trying to distance myself from where I come from It s still all about the songs 10 Release and promotion EditOn 20 October 2010 Robyn announced the details of Body Talk on her official website along with the track listing and artwork 5 She described the album as the turbo version of the Body Talk album as it includes five songs from each previous Body Talk album along with five new songs 5 Singles Edit Robyn announced the release of the single Indestructible on 13 October 2010 11 An acoustic version appeared on her previous album Body Talk Pt 2 The song was released on 1 November 2010 in Scandinavia and one day later in the United States 12 It is co written by Klas Ahlund and has been described as a pulsating full power version that takes every ounce of that emotion and wraps it up in another exceptional disco pop record worthy of any dance floor or passion laden sing a long 11 The second single Call Your Girlfriend was released on 1 April 2011 13 Critical reception EditProfessional ratingsAggregate scoresSourceRatingAnyDecentMusic 8 1 10 14 Metacritic86 100 15 Review scoresSourceRatingAllMusic 16 The A V ClubA 17

music critics At Metacritic which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics the album received an average score of 86 based on 19 reviews which indicates universal acclaim 15 Music critic Jonathan Keefe from Slant Magazine said the album is a testament to Robyn s truly forward thinking take on contemporary pop music and to her rare ability to infuse chilly futuristic soundscapes with genuine emotion and soul Keefe also said that Body Talk impresses for its thematic focus and laser precise editing and that the album is one of the year s finest most progressive pop albums 25 The A V Club also felt that the album is hands down the best dance pop album of the year and praised it as euphoric personal and inspirational to the last beat saying that it proves there s still room for smart mature songwriting and heartfelt performance in the high gloss world of club music and noting the presence of real emotion among the ones and zeros of electronic music 17 Entertainment Weekly said that Spectacular Swedish import Robyn continues to languish in the cult act remainder bin but these 15 excellently curated tracks deserve to change that 18 Pitchfork stamped it with its Best New Music label 23 Rolling Stone said it was the best dance pop album of 2010 with every song being both immaculately catchy and packed with quirks 24 musicOMH said that Body Talk shows just how easily Robyn can churn out hits more frequently than labels can process production teams 26 AllMusic music critic Heather Phares said that Releasing that much new music within six months was a feat in and of itself but the fact that each part of Body Talk was so consistent made the whole project even more impressive Phares said that the album s appeal isn t just experimental by picking the best of the project s songs it feels like a greatest hits collection and brand new album rolled into one 16 Accolades Edit Publication RankThe A V Club 27 10Billboard 28 3Cokemachineglow
