Robyn

Robin Miriam Carlsson (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈrɔ̌bːɪn ˈkɑ̌ːɭsɔn]; born 12 June 1979), known professionally as Robyn (pronounced [ˈrɔ̌bːʏn]), is a Swedish singer, songwriter, record producer, and DJ. Musically, she is noted for performing upbeat dance-oriented songs that often feature melancholic lyrics. Her 1995 debut album Robyn Is Here produced two Billboard Hot 100 top 10 singles: "Do You Know (What It Takes)" and "Show Me Love". Her second and third albums, My Truth (1999) and Don't Stop the Music (2002), were released in Sweden. The 2010 sleeper hit “Dancing On My Own” is often credited as her signature song and helped rejuvenate her career. Robyn returned to international success with her fourth album, Robyn (2005), which brought a Grammy Award nomination. The album spawned the singles "Be Mine!" and "With Every Heartbeat" – the latter of which topped the charts in the United Kingdom. Robyn released a trilogy of mini-albums in 2010, known as the Body Talk series. They received broad critical praise and three Grammy Award nominations, and produced three top-10 singles: "Dancing On My Own", "Hang with Me" and "Indestructible". Robyn followed this with two collaborative EPs: Do It Again (2014) with Röyksopp, and Love Is Free (2015) with La Bagatelle Magique. She released her eighth solo album, Honey, in 2018 to widespread acclaim.
