Cold, heavy synthesizers collide with warm tears on a crowded dancefloor. These eight tracks capture a raw, human heart beating inside a flawless, neon-lit machine.
“Other than Radiohead, few other artists have delved so deeply into the disconnection between modern technology and human experience, and Body Talk emerges as pop music’s answer to the Ghost in the Shell series”Read review
“When all three parts are taken together, though, it’s obvious that somewhere in that mishmash of tracks, Robyn has truly crafted the Album of the Year. Body Talk, however, is not it”
“Body Talk shows just how easily she can churn out hits more frequently than labels can process production teams. Robyn deserves her success”
“By picking the best of the project’s songs, it feels like a greatest-hits collection and brand new album rolled into one”Read review
“The ’Body Talk’ round-up, five tracks from the first two volumes plus five new ones, sound more like a mop up exercise than a coherent album, the atrocious programming of the tracks doesn’t help either.”Read review
“These tracks concentrate on what the series has done best: ecstatic, club-inspired pop filled with massive throbbing synths and arpeggiated bleeps”
“Euphoric, personal, and inspirational to the last beat”Read review
“She should be universal. So why isn’t she?”Read review
“The Body Talk trilogy could/should have been a truly groundbreaking single album. In other words, it’s a classic double-album quandary of quantity over quality”Read review
“The first genuinely exciting, no-filler, pure pop full-length album since Lady Gaga’s The Fame. And not a fright-wig in sight”Read review
