Robyn: Missing U – az első szólókiadvány nyolc év után + FRISSÍTÉS: Honey – a visszatérő album bejelentése

Robyn idén májusban New Yorkban a Red Bull Academy közönségtalákozóján arról beszélt, hogy a már majdnem kész új albumát zeneileg többek között Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Prince, a kilencvenes évekbeli house és egyéb klubzenék inspirálták. A most közzétett első hivatalos kislmezdalt, a rajongóinak címzett Missing U-t legutóbbi két albumának producerével, a svéd Teddybears elektro-rock zenekarból ismert Klas Åhlunddal és az angol Metronomy-vezér Joseph Mounttal közösen készítette.

Az eredetileg június 30-ra beígért kislemezdal-megjelenés helyett közzétett hétperces Missing U – A Message To My Fans kisfilm. . .

. . . és az augusztus 1-jére tolva megjelent tényleges kislemezdal:

Baby, it’s so weird to me now that it’s over
The space where you used to be
Your head on my shoulder
All of the plans we made never happened
Now your scent on my pillow’s faded
At least you left me with something

There’s this empty space you left behind
Now you’re not here with me
I keep digging through a waste of time
But the picture’s incomplete
There’s this empty space you left behind
Now you’re not here with me
I keep digging through a waste of time
But the picture’s incomplete
‘Cause I’m missing you
I miss you

Can’t make sense of all of the pieces
Or my own delusions
Can’t take all these memories
Don’t know how to use ’em
There’s a slick washed up onto the beach
I follow the traces
Finding clues in my pockets and opening boxes
And going places we went, remember to forget
Thinking how we could’ve been
I turn all my sorrow into glass
But don’t leave no shatter

There’s this empty space you left behind
Now you’re not here with me
I keep digging through a waste of time
But the picture’s incomplete
There’s this empty space you left behind
Now you’re not here with me
I keep digging through a waste of time
But the picture’s incomplete
‘Cause I’m missing you
I miss you

(I miss you)
This part of you
This clock that stopped
This residue
It’s all I’ve got
(I miss you)
This part of you
This clock that stopped
(Clock that stopped)
This residue
(It’s all I got)
It’s all I’ve got

There’s this empty space you left behind
(This part of you, this clock that stopped)
I keep thinking you’re still right beside me
(This residue, It’s all I got)
You’re still there
There’s this empty space you left behind
(This part of you, this clock that stopped)
All the love you gave, it still defines me
(There’s this empty space you left behind
I keep thinking you’re still right beside me
There’s this empty space you left behind
I keep thinking you’re still right beside me
There’s this empty space you left behind
All the love you gave, it still defines me)

a kislemezdal Annie Mac műsorában tartott mai hivatalos BBC-rádiópremierjéhez kapcsolódó félórás interjú, melyből kiderül, hogy Robyn pár hete elkészült (és már keverés alatt álló) visszatérő albuma még 2018 folyamán megjelenik:

Robyn idén májusi közönségtalálkozója, melynek moderátora az angol dalszerző-producer-énekes Kindness (Adam Bainbridge) volt. . .

. . .aki legutóbbi 2014-es Otherness albumának Who Do You Love című dalában már dolgozott a svéd énekesnővel:

ha már szóba került a Honey című kiadatlan tavalyi dal, hát az így hangzott teljes verziójában Robyn egyik DJ-fellépésén:

NEW ROBYN! She’s DJing at BK Bowl. Debuting a new song! Just mere minutes ago I was enjoying Chvrches at a tiny venue, now this! I fucking love BK.

FRISSÍTÉS: 2018. szeptember 26-án a Honey végre hivatalosan is megjelent teljes stúdióverziójában. . .

No, you’re not gonna get what you need
Baby, I have what you want
Come get your honey
No, you’re not gonna get what you need
But baby, I have what you want
Come get your honey
I got your honey, baby

Every colour and every taste
Every breath that whispers your name
It’s like emeralds on the pavement
Every colour and every taste
Every breath that whispers your name
It’s like emeralds on the pavement
I got your honey, baby
At the heart of some kind of flower
Stuck in glitter, strands of saliva
Won’t you get me right where the hurt is?
At the heart of some kind of flower
Stuck in glitter, strands of saliva
Won’t you get me right where the hurt is?

And the waves come in and they’re golden
But down in the deep the honey is sweeter
(Ooh, it is sweeter, baby)
And the sun sets on the water
But down in the deep the current is stronger
Oh, yeah

No way, you’re not gonna get what you need
But baby, I have what you want
Come get your honey
No way, you’re not gonna get what you need (you need)
Baby, I have what you want (what you want)
Come get your honey
I got your honey, baby

Can you open up to the pleasure?
Suck it up inside like a treasure
Let the brighter place be your passion
Can you open up to the pleasure?
Suck it up inside like a treasure
Let the brighter place be your passion
I got your honey, baby
Let go of your doubt, say yes
Let it soak up into the flesh
Never had this kind of nutrition
Let go of your doubts, say yes
Let it soak up into the flesh
Never had this kind of nutrition

And the waves come in and they’re golden
But down in the deep the honey is sweeter (sweeter, yeah, yeah)
And the sun sets on the water
But down in the deep the current is stronger (deep, baby)
Ooh, it’s stronger

No, you’re not gonna get what you need
Baby, I have what you want
Come get your honey (I have what you want)
No, you’re not gonna get what you need (get what you need)
Baby, I have what you want (what you want)
Come get your honey, baby (I have what you want)
No, you’re not gonna get what you need (get what you need)
But I have what you want
And you know that I got it for you, baby
Baby, I have what you want
Ooh, come get your honey, baby
Baby, I have what you want
Come get it, baby
