Robyn & Röyksopp

A lot of people might cast a show like this into the “guilty pleasure” pile and casually walk on by, but just like the previous show pick, this is the right way to do a genre of music that is more often done horribly, terribly wrong. Again, in a scene of music that is so dominated by manufactured personalities and baseless hype, it’s an unfortunate rarity that someone with legitimate talent and a sense of artistry manages to break through. Luckily, Swedish-bred Robyn managed to do just that, with music that’s infectiously catchy without having to scrape the bottom of the pop starlet barrel of tropes for attention. Seriously, top 40 pop music needs more classy girls like this in its ranks. - Brien Overly
