Hey, if you can say one thing about Robyn’s collaboration with the Swedish “kings of tropical house”, it’s that she’s clearly having a HELL of a lot of fun. Savage Skulls are on Diplo’s Mad Decent label, and have been putting out some pretty good remixes over the past year or so, notably Taio Cruz’s [...]

Sophia Somajo – Chinese Tekkno
Posted: 19th January 2011 by instanthits in ReleasesTags: juvelen, robyn, sophia somajo
Given this blog’s subtitle is “a blog about pop”, I sometimes think I do a pretty poor job of writing about, well, pop. Anyway, this is definitely pop. Early Lady Gaga + Robyn = not to everyone’s tastes, but most definitely to mine. Love this. Fun facts about the delectable Ms. Somajo: 1. She co-wrote [...]
Brit Award Nominations Revealed; World Yawns

OK let’s kick this thing off with a great big BLAH. Yes, the Brits are necessarily a big old corporate shambles. Yes, we know what they’re for. Annie Lennox. Nothing new. BLAH. But, come on, wouldn’t it be nice if they weren’t so predictably rubbish every year? Elements of this year’s list are Not Awful [...]
Top 75 Tracks 2010: THE TOP TEN
Posted: 22nd December 2010 by MV in Future HitsTags: delorean, hope sandoval, james blake, kanye west, katy b, massive attack, nicki minaj, niki & the dove, robyn, sky larkin, sleigh bells, underworld
Yes, it’s here, the actual top ten. I felt like expanding my annual top 50 to 75 was a clever move. I now feel like I’ve been writing about songs pretty much FOREVER. It’s a good job doing so is such fun. Anyway, as this is the top ten, you will not be surprised to [...]
Robyn's Dancehall Queen video, Swedish pop reggae, and the Magnetic Fields

I have an internet again! After rather a long time. I don’t think I’ll be fully reawakening Instant Hits ’til the new year, but in the meantime there’ll be the odd post here and there, and of course my annual top 50 tracks. Here’s a post that’s definitely odd, to kick things off.
New Robyn Video – 'Hang With Me'
Posted: 26th July 2010 by MV in Future Hits, Releases, VideosTags: robyn
It’s Robyn so obviously it’s pretty much perfect. It sounds like Robyn. What else do you need to know? Even the video, which is in essence just one of those ‘oh no we’ve taken a camera on tour with us what larks etc’ affairs, is actually so well put together (and, basically, so full of [...]
Robyn @ Heaven – 17th June 2010
Posted: 18th June 2010 by MV in Live ReviewTags: coco sumner, gig, heaven, i blame coco, robyn, setlist
I went away from writing this blog for absolutely ages, and all you got was this lousy Robyn ‘review’? It’s all true, I’m afraid… Anyway, last night I went to see Robyn at well-known gay club / dingy tunnel Heaven. It was pretty great.
Robyn – Dancing On My Own
Posted: 26th May 2010 by MV in Future Hits, VideosTags: fred falke, jakwob, robyn
I definitely missed the boat on this one, but it has to have an entry, simply because it’s up there with the best singles of the year. And that’s saying something, because it’s probably only the third best track on Robyn’s Body Talk Pt. 1 (the first of three mini-albums she’s putting out this year). [...]
I Blame Coco ft. Robyn – Caesar
Posted: 11th January 2010 by MV in ReleasesTags: i blame coco, robyn
In brief: Not sure how I failed to notice this, as I’m usually relatively alert when it comes to anything involving the wondrous Robyn. Anyway, not really sure what she’s doing knocking around these parts. Surely there’s better company she could be keeping than Sting’s slightly try-hard daughter? Best Bit: Any of the bits with [...]
Top 50 Singles 2009 (20-11)

And so, after some delay, we hit the top 20. In it, there’s pop, and there’s stuff that sounds pop in my head but might not be. There are lots of excellent songs though, which I guess is the point of this thing, right? Clicky below. And click back a few entries for parts 1-3. [...]
