The Lonely Island certainly dig their trendy female pop acts – first came Solange collaboration ‘Semicolon‘, and now we have ‘Go Kindergarten‘ featuring the amazing Robyn. We’d prefer a new Robyn album, let’s be clear, but this will have to do in the meantime.

We know that most of you have been in love with Robyn’s ‘Call Your Girlfriend’ for over a year now, but she’s currently promoting it in the States and this gives us reason to celebrate. Why, you ask? Well because she only went and did a backwards roll/booty grind halfway through her appearance on Ellen. Mesmerising.

Swedish popstrel Robyn swung by Radio 1 yesterday to perform her new single ‘Call Your Girlfriend‘ as well as a customary cover for the Live Lounge.  She picked Coldplay’s latest single ‘Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall‘, replacing the trance-y chords with her trademark weepy-electro sound.

Robyn is currently touring North America with Katy Perry and Marina And The Diamonds, and will return to the UK in September to play Bestival on the Isle Of Wight.

Yep – still frazzled from our muddy weekend at the Glastonbury Festival, but to paraphrase Destiny’s Child: we are survivors.

Friday got off to a soggy start as shin-deep mud hampered movement across the site, which is perhaps why we ended up watching most of The Vaccines‘ set despite having zero prior knowledge of their music. “A bit Editors-y,” we concluded. (Vaccines video highlights here.)

WATCH: The Vaccines ‘If You Wanna’

After that we headed to The Park for some Warpaint action, and though we couldn’t actually *see* the female art-rockers in question, their hypnotic blend of driving drums and ghostly riffs made for highly enjoyable listening. (Warpaint highlights here.)

WATCH: Warpaint ‘Undertow’

Next up, we helped two girls lodged firmly and face down in the mud – but fortunately absolutely pissing themselves laughing – and then slid all the way to Ke$ha, who managed to pack out the Dance East stage despite clashing with ‘secret’ act Radiohead. We know we made the right choice, quite frankly – unless Thom Yorke has recently taken to drinking blood, firing glitter guns and dancing with gutter-trannies on stage, it’s hard to see how Radiohead could have been more entertaining. Let’s hope Ke$ha is back in 2013 with a higher-profile billing. The rest of the day is a bit hazy, but we do recall watching 20 minutes of U2 in the rain (a fairly miserable experience) before heading to the NYC Downlow bar where a very friendly man briefly put us in restraints before admiring his handiwork by taking a few photographs. As you do.

WATCH: U2 ‘I Will Follow’

Blearily we awoke on Saturday to find that the drizzle had passed and the ground was beginning to firm up. Hurrah! With no clear plan in mind (something of a recurring theme) we walked aimlessly for miles, eventually finding ourselves hanging out with our 6 year-old niece in the Kidz Field. Amazingly, this was probably the most relaxing part of the entire weekend, and the toilets were spotless – but you won’t be able to get in without a child. Perhaps in 2013 you can ‘borrow’ one in order to access to a clean lav. Just a thought.

It wasn’t until 5pm that we remembered to actually go and watch some live music, so we trotted off to the Pyramid stage for Tinie Tempah. As luck would have it, the sun came out with gusto during his well-received slot, which featured most of his ‘Disc-overy’ album plus new single ‘Moshpit’. Bizarrely, the latter was entirely unmoshable, so it’s back to the drawing board on the whole ‘rap-rock’ idea, Tinie.

WATCH: Tinie Tempah ‘Wonderman’

By this point we were worryingly sober, so a few pints later and a blast of Friendly Fires on the Other Stage and we were ready to rock. Only mildly, mind, which is what one does when watching Coldplay. As with U2, we gave it 20 minutes before again heading off to the decadent Shangri-La area where we completely failed to find our friends, but did lose our minds. Swings and roundabouts, innit?

WATCH: Coldplay ‘Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall’

Rudely awoken at an unrepeatable hour by blazing sunshine, Sunday morning saw us scratching our heads and trying to remember if we really had watched the beginning of Coldplay or if the whole thing had been a rather beige dream. Simple thought processes proved an impossibility, however, as we quickly realised that we were sitting in an oven in the middle of a heatwave. Scrambling pathetically out of our tent we were overjoyed to learn that the ground had finally solidified (well, maybe 80% of it.) Amazing!

It was a good job we were up so early, as it transpired – some nutcase had scheduled The Pierces for 12.30 on The Park stage, miles from our tent. We made it there with ease, however, given that the ground was actually walkable by this point. The girls and their four backing boys put on a sublime performance which was heavy on tracks from their third and breakthrough album ‘You & I’, and they looked the part too – forget Kate Moss and Sienna Miller, Catherine and Allison Pierce have got boho-chic down. Next up came a quick photograph session on the hill overlooking the entire festival site (stunning), then it was off to Paul Simon. After telling the sweltering crowd that he had a throat infection, Paul performed a set full of songs we didn’t recognise, causing us to flounce off in search of shade. (Watch Paul Simon highlights here.)

Now, we’re not entirely sure what happened next, but we later found ourselves coming to in a field behind the Pyramid Stage with the abhorrent Pendulum playing nearby at a frankly ludicrously volume. This meant that we’d been asleep for two hours and had completely buggered up our chances of seeing either Robyn or Lykke Li, both of whom were playing dangerously close to Beyonce’s slot, and neither at stages particularly close to the Pyramid. Knowing that we’ve seen Robyn three times during the Body Talk era meant we were able to handle our disappointment, but we were gutted to have missed Lykke Li. Maybe in 2013?

The good news, however, was that we were nicely refreshed for Beyonce‘s closing headline appearance. She kept the crowd waiting for 15 minutes, which was a risky move given the temperature and general feeling of exhaustion, and for a second there it looked as if the crowd might turn on her before she’d even begun. Luckily for B, however, she had a winning opening salvo of ‘Crazy In Love’, ‘Single Ladies’ and FIREWORKS up her sleeve. So as you can imagine, the first 10 minutes of Beyonce were essentially better than forty minutes of U2 and Coldplay combined.

The incredible staging and video screens lifted the performance to a level rarely seen at festivals, while a well-paced setlist (featuring several covers and a fab Destiny’s Child medley) ensured the crowd energy didn’t flag too much during new tracks and ballads. Some fans have since quibbled that B drew too heavily on her ‘I Am…’ world tour, but viewers unfamiliar with her live oeuvre will surely have been blown away. Nice little promo slot for the next-day release of new album ’4′ as well, seeing as parts of the set were simulcast in America and France.

Our only complaint is that B does have a tendency to rearrange and drag songs out in a slightly unnecessary fashion – plus the continual audience interaction began to grate in places – but her undeniable charisma and spectacular vocals more than made up for these minor quibbles. (Watch Beyonce highlights here.) Also, the inclusion of Tricky during ‘Baby Boy’ will surely go down in Glasto legend as the moist pointless and random guest appearance ever!

It’s amazing to think that Robyn’s ‘Be Mine‘ single was originally released over six years ago, but the fact that emerging hip-popper Rye Rye has chosen to sample it on her ‘Never Will Be Mine’ single just goes to show that you can’t keep a good song down. Robyn obviously approves, as she appears in the video – check it out below:

‘Never Will Be Mine’ is taken from Rye Rye’s forthcoming debut album ‘Go! Pop! Bang!’, expected later this summer.

‘Call Your Girlfriend‘ is the latest single to be lifted from Robyn’s excellent ‘Body Talk‘ series. The video is minimal – essentially it’s just some lighting effects and Robyn dancing around an abandoned warehouse – which isn’t surprising given that the ‘Body Talk’ campaign is presumably drawing to a close. Here’s hoping for new Robyn material sooner rather than later!

The latest single to be released from Robyn’s Body Talk trilogy is ‘Call Your Girlfriend‘. The singer took to her SoundCloud account today to release the ‘Feed Me Remix’, which gives the song a crazed dubstep makeover.

It’s a bit full-on for our tastes, but the single cover is very pretty, don’t you think?

Back in 2005, Robyn unleashed a stupendous cover of Teddybears’ ‘Cobrastyle‘ for her eponymous international comeback album. Two Teddybears – brothers Klas and Joakim Ahlund – have also co-written and produced much of Robyn’s work over the past six years. She’s now repaying the favour by joining them on their latest single ‘Cardiac Arrest‘. Although very different from ‘Cobrastyle’, we’re liking Robyn’s more rock ‘n’ roll vocals on this track.

US readers can download the track now.

Hooray! Savage Skulls & Douster’s brilliant ‘Bad Gal‘ has finally received the video treatment – and we can’t quite believe that four months have passed since we first discussed the track’s bleepy brilliance. Why can’t Robyn just sing lead vocals on everything from now on? The world be a much better place for it.

Everyone knows the importance of being fashionably late, which is why we’re publishing our list of 2010′s best tracks on, er, Christmas Eve. Hopefully you’re not completely list-fatigued because our festive 50 is obviously essential pop reading.

As always, we apologise if your favourite track(s) didn’t make the cut – and if you come across any songs you haven’t heard before, we suggest you follow this link to listen to all the tracks on Spotify.

Merry Christmas, and have a brilliant new year! WAPS x

	#50	Take That ‘The Flood’ Take That‘s ‘proper’ comeback (i.e.. With gurning loon Robbie Williams back on board) caused the UK to have such an almighty collective mental breakdown that nobody seemed to mind ‘The Flood’ being rather so-so. Meh, what can you do?
	#49	The Ting Tings ‘Hands’ The Ting Tings appeared to succumb to second-album-syndrome in 2010 (or rather, they would have had their label actually released it), though return single ‘Hands’ was an enjoyable update of their simplistic 80′s pop.
	#48	Christina Aguilera ‘Not Myself Tonight’ Yes yes yes ‘Bionic’ was a hot mess but GOOD LORD Christina went down in style. And by ‘style’ we mean ‘pretended it never happened and got on with promoting Burlesque instead’.
	#47	Eliza Doolittle ‘Pack Up’ We feel Eliza Doolittle deserves a mention in this list given her slow-burning success in 2010, yet we’re still mystified by who actually buys her records. She seems to be quite massive yet we’ve never met an Eliza Doolittle fan…
	#46	Goldfrapp ‘Rocket’ Despite the exciting title and nudge-nudge wink-wink video, Goldfrapp‘s ’80s-influenced ‘Rocket’ was a surprisingly laid-back and summery affair. Shame the album turned out to be something of a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it job.
	#45	Kele ‘Tenderoni’ We have a feeling that Bloc Party will be reforming sooner rather than later if frontman Kele Okereke’s solo success is anything to go by, but that doesn’t mean that his debut single ‘Tenderoni’ wasn’t a top class CHEWN. *throws shapes*.
	#44	Mariah Carey ‘Oh Santa’ Oh come on, it’s Christmas and Christmas = Mariah Carey.
	#43	Miley Cyrus ‘Can’t Be Tamed’ By no means the strongest track on the album (step forward ‘Two More Lonely People’), ‘Can’t Be Tamed’ effectively laid out Miley‘s plans to ditch her Hannah Montana persona for good and fully embrace mature concerns like pole-dancing and getting whacked out of one’s gourd on salvia. Respect.
	#42	Pink ‘Raise Your Glass’ Pink‘s well-deserved hits collection finally came out this year, and new track ‘Raise Your Glass’ was an enjoyable if slightly forgettable romp. Nice video though.
	#41	The Wanted ‘All Time Low’ Boyband The Wanted stormed the charts with debut single ‘All Time Low’, but sluggish album sales suggested that JLS need not quake in their All Saints boots just yet. We also blame The Wanted’s initial success on Simon Cowell’s determination to make One Direction ‘happen’, so cheers for that ‘The Wanted’.
	#40	Alesha Dixon ‘Radio’ After a promising (and much-delayed) solo debut, big things were expected of Alesha Dixons‘ follow up in 2010. Sadly ‘The Entertainer’ vanished without trace, despite a brace of electro-influenced gems like heartfelt ballad and second single ‘Radio’. Perhaps nicking the opening bars of Robyn’s ‘Dancing On My Own’ was a mistake…
	#39	Maroon 5 ‘Misery’ Even if you can’t stand Maroon 5‘s high-pitched MOR-funk, you can always watch their videos on mute and just stare at Adam Levine’s lovely face. Which is nice.
	#38	Adam Lambert ‘Whataya Want From Me’ Adam Lambert‘s ‘Whataya Want From Me’ crept out to little UK fanfare earlier this year and charted at #53, which is a shame as it’s really rather bloody good. The track was co-written by Pink, who included a version on her best-of collection at the end of the year.
	#37	Shontelle ‘Impossible’ Shontelle‘s ‘No Gravity’ album was played to death this year by WAPS, being one of those rare releases where most tracks sound like a single. Icy ballad ‘Impossible’ was a real highlight, however.
	#36	Sia ‘Clap Your Hands’ We loved oddball popette Sia in 2010, so please go and check out her ‘We Are Born’ album if you haven’t done so already. We could have picked any track to include on this list, but joyful single ‘Clap Your Hands’ seemed the obvious choice. So there.
	#35	Nicki Minaj ‘Right Thru Me’ You couldn’t move for Nicki Minaj this year (she’s probably standing behind you right now, ‘featuring’ on something or other) yet her own debut didn’t come out until the end of it. ‘Right Thru Me’ was one of our favourite songs, an enjoyable ballad which featured the word ‘shit’ far, far too many times and yet somehow got away with it.
	#34	Rihanna ‘Rude Boy’ Rihanna stuck with tradition by releasing a new single and video approximately every 5 minutes in 2010, and luckily for pop fans most of them were excellent. ‘Rude Boy’ made us do various silly things like dutty whine around the kitchen even though we’re not sure what that means.
	#33	Robyn ‘Indestructible’ An amazing year for Robyn in artistic terms (her Body Talk series was hands-down the ‘album’ of the year), yet commercial success proved elusive. A shame, as she chucked out brilliant songs like ‘Indestructible’ at an alarming rate of knots.
	#32	Kesha ‘Your Love Is My Drug’ One of 2010′s biggest success stories, Kesha‘s debut album ‘Animal’ was packed with potential singles. ‘Your Love Is My Drug’ was one of our favourites, and still sounds fresh today.
	#31	Marina & The Diamonds ‘Shampain’ One of the poppier moments on Marina‘s debut, and we all like a bottle of Shampain, don’t we?
	#30	Hurts ‘Wonderful Life’ The exceedingly well-groomed Hurts were briefly everywhere in mid 2010, with lots of pop-watchers getting into quite the tizz over their polished pop (even Kylie popped up on album track ‘Devotion’.) Lead single ‘Wonderful Life’ was a powerful statement of intent, but we remain unconvinced that this duo aren’t simply a load of style over substance…
	#29	Jessie J ‘Do It Like A Dude’ Jessie J‘s feisty RnB-pop debut ‘Do It Like A Dude’ racked up over 2 million views on YouTube earlier this year, yet charted under the radar. We doubt this will hold her back, however, seeing as she’s already bagged the Critics’ Choice Award at the 2011 Brits. One to watch…
	#28	Sky Ferreira ‘One’ Sky Ferreira failed to happen in 2010, but her debut single ‘One’ was actually brilliant. Her album was expected in January 2011 but has already been ‘pushed back’ (those dreaded words…)
	#27	Shakira ‘Loca’ Despite a sky-high profile courtesy of ‘Waka Waka’ AND a Dizzee Rascal cameo, Shakira‘s super-infectious ‘Loca’ never actually came out in the UK. What on earth are her ‘people’ playing at?!
	#26	Katy Perry ‘Teenage Dream’ Katy Perry had a great 2010, scoring 3 US #1 singles and a new hubby in the form of UK comedian (and WAPS favourite) Russell Brand. Her second album ‘Teenage Dream’ was somewhat front-loaded – and good lord the girl can’t sing to save her life – but we can’t help loving her a little bit. We’ll do what everyone else does and blame it on the boobies.
	#25	Enrique Iglesias ft. Nicole Scherzinger ‘Heartbeat’ How many popstars water-skied naked this year when Spain won the World Cup? Answer: one – Enrique Iglesias. And if that’s not enough of a reason to love him, his ‘Heartbeat’ duet with Nicole Scherzinger was also v. good. Even if the piano did rip off The Dream Academy’s ‘Life In A Northern Town’ a little bit.
	#24	Joe McElderry ‘Ambitions’ X Factor 2009 winner Joe McElderry never really recovered from his defeat at the hands of Rage Against The Machine last Christmas; his cover of Donkeyboy’s ‘Ambitions’ struggled in the charts, indicating that his heavily Mika/Scissor Sisters-influenced album might flop. It did. Simon Cowell has allegedly pledged his support for at least one more album, but we fear that Joe’s in Leon Jackson territory now…
	#23	Gabriella Cilmi ‘On A Mission’ We were ever so excited when Gabriella Cilmi ditched her Joss Stone-lite ‘vibe’ for SUPER GAY DISCO MADAME on comeback single ‘On A Mission’, but the track stalled at #9 in the UK. Where are the gays when you need ‘em, eh?
	#22	Arcade Fire ‘We Used To Wait’ Arcade Fire‘s return was – of course – gloomy as ever. But super-anthemic and ace as ever, too. Hurrah!
	#21	Nicole Scherzinger ‘Poison’ She FINALLY got that solo smash! Amazing what a stint on X Factor and an afternoon with RedOne can do for you. We have a feeling Nicole‘s solo success will be short-lived however…
	#20	Alexandra Burke ‘All Night Long’ Alexandra Burke‘s fourth single ‘All Night Long’ explored a more wistful sound without shedding any of her commercial or dancefloor appeal. A well-deserved top 5 hit from an already-massive album.
	#19	Charlotte Church ‘Back To Scratch’ Charlotte Church finally returned to the music scene in 2010, not with opera or pop but a country-influenced album drenched in guitars, strings and grown-up themes. Triumphant lead single ‘Back To Scratch’ was a real grower, and an overlooked gem.
	#18	Kelis ‘Acapella’ Kelis re-branded as a dancefloor diva/fashion-plate in 2010, but her much-lauded comeback ‘Flesh Tone’ failed spectacularly in its bid for chart success. Fortunately she’s got Nas’ millions to live off. ‘Acapella’ remains amazing, however.
	#17	Mark Ronson ft. Boy George & Andrew Wyatt ‘Somebody To Love Me’ Boy George & Andrew Wyatt’s brilliantly haunting ‘Somebody To Love Me’ was the clear standout on Mark Ronson‘s otherwise patchy ‘Record Collection’, and made us hope for a Ronson-produced Culture Club album. Hey, it could happen!
	#16	Lady GaGa ‘Alejandro’ GaGa‘s ‘Alejandro’ video may have felt mildly anti-climactic following the fun-fest of ‘Telephone’, but once you got past the dodgy editing, OTT religious imagery and questionably-wigged gays, the song remained epic.
	#15	MIA ‘XXXO’ Where does one begin with M.I.A.? Well, why not with ‘XXXO’ – providing you skip most of the rest of the ghastly album it arrived on.
	#14	Shontelle ‘Perfect Nightmare’ The bit where the beat kicks in on Shontelle‘s ‘Perfect Nightmare’ was one of *the* pop moments of the year. FACT.
	#13	Cheryl Cole ‘Promise This’ We all know that Cheryl Cole could have farted in a bucket and rocketed to number one this year, and indeed that’s what she did with album #2 ‘Messy Little Raindrops’. Frantic and slightly bizarre lead single ‘Promise This’ was a corker, but the rest was possibly even more ‘meh’ than her debut solo album. Such a shame that (arguably) the biggest female name in UK pop is happy to lend her name to so much dross. We’re holding out for an incredible third album, but God knows why…
	#12	Ciara ‘Gimmie Dat’ God loves a trier – and WAPS loves a Ciara (mainly when she’s producing mental booty-bass like ‘Gimmie Dat’ – the kind that makes you feel like you could run a million miles and THEN start kicking some ass.) (Also wins the award for most annoyingly spelled title of 2010.)
	#11	Kelly Rowland ‘Commander’ Kelly Rowland‘s eurodance love affair continued in 2010; her David Guetta collaboration ‘Commander’ was even better than ‘When Love Takes Over’ in WAPS’ humble opinion…
	#10	Kylie Minogue ‘Get Outta My Way’ ‘All The Lovers’ was Kylie‘s attention-grabbing comeback, but we preferred the much-maligned ‘Get Outta My Way’ for it’s pulsing piano and bold attitude. Vintage Kylie.
	#9	Tinie Tempah ‘Pass Out’ Tinie Tempah‘s uniquely British take on hip hop might not have been to everyone’s taste – though we found it rather refreshing to hear a rapper talking about biscuits, Scunthorpe and his aunt’s house – but the power of ‘Pass Out”s hypnotic bass and hectic outro can’t be denied.
	#8	Best Coast ‘Boyfriend’ Best Coast‘s killer hooks, lazy guitars and blissfully Spector-esque production won many hearts in 2010, including ours. Parent debut album ‘Crazy For You’ was also one of the year’s best. Now – anybody got any weed?
	#7	Willow Smith ‘Whip My Hair’ SHE WHIPPED HER HAIR BACK AND FORTH SHE WHIPPED HER HAIR BACK AND FORTH SHE WHIPPED HER HAIR BACK AND FORTH SHE failed to stop Black Eyed Peas getting to number one with ‘The Time (Dirty Bit). Bugger.
	#6	Scissor Sisters ‘Invisible Light’ By the time Jake Shears came round to everyone else’s way of thinking and realised that ‘Invisible Light’ should have been the lead single off ‘Night Work’, it was too late. ‘Fire With Fire’ had already done its damage. This still sounds insanely fresh, however, and the recently released video is brilliantly odd.
	#5	Kesha ‘We R Who We R’ Kesha took a leaf out of GaGa’s book in 2010 by releasing her own ‘Fame Monster’-style EP. ‘Cannibal’ didn’t deviate from ‘Animal’s trash-pop template, and with songs like ‘We R Who We R’ up her sleeve who can blame her? Pure filth and we love it.
	#4	Rihanna ‘Only Girl (In The World)’ Rihanna‘s ‘Rated R’ album was a somewhat gloomy affair so the singer decided to go mega in-yer-face with follow-up ‘Only girl (In The World’), a song that can only be described as massively stomping. WAPS approved heartily.
	#3	Katy Perry ft. Snoop Dogg ‘California Gurls’ Katy + Snoop + Summer = Pop Heaven. Totally ludicrous and totally fun, it was little surprise that ‘California Gurls’ was a global smash…it just didn’t quite translate into album sales. Oops!
	#2	Lady GaGa ft. Beyonce ‘Telephone’ Are there any superlatives left with which to describe to Lady GaGa? Not really, so let us just remind you that ‘Telephone’ is a bona fide classic. The motherf***ingly brilliant video didn’t exactly hurt matters either. MORE PLEASE.
	#1	Robyn ‘Dancing On My Own’ Nobody does tear-soaked electropop like Robyn – even Kylie felt the urge to retweet our article about it . ‘Dancing On My Own‘ was a melancholy hit that sounded strangely out of place during the UK heatwave. How very ‘Robyn’.

Robyn certainly knows how to add an interactive experience to her music. Earlier in the year she released the ace 3D experience for ‘Don’t F*cking Tell Me What To Do’ and she has just premiered the equally brilliant Interactive Beat Machine, soundtracked by ‘We Dance To The Beat‘ from her new album Body Talk (available now).

The interactive site offers fans the ability to control over 100 video clips and sounds simultaneously. Fans can search through the massive grid of video/sound clips and choose their own group of sights & sound to create their own original “beats.” They can then interact with the clips to manipulate the images and transform the sounds, in perfect sync with the beat. The interactions are stored and repeated, letting the user build patterns and rhythms in real-time.

• Take me to the interactive beat machine

The concept for the Interactive experience was originally developed by Mary Fagot (Creative Director for Blip Boutique), and Johan Belin (Creative Director at Dinahmoe, Stockholm). An amazing team of creatives, developers and producers was assembled from Stockholm to London, to Montreal to Los Angeles to develop the concept and bring the Interactive Beat Machine to life.

Back in November Robyn teamed up with MySpace for a Secret Show. She performed tracks from the first two Body Talk EPs, as well as some of her other hits. The hour-long show has now made available online, so check it out.

And if you haven’t already, make sure to buy the full Body Talk album. We’re obsessed with new track ‘Time Machine‘.

We had the privilege of seeing Robyn perform a secret London gig earlier this week, so we’re back in Robyn-obsessed mode. You won’t be surprised, then, that we are loving this mini-doc which follows Robyn as she prepares for her largest Scandinavian concert ever.

We particularly love how excited she is by cake – clearly a girl after our own heart:

We gave up on Gossip Girl aeons ago, but we’re still thrilled that the wonderful Robyn bagged a guest slot this week. The popstrel’s acoustic version of ‘Hang With Me‘ took centre-stage during some ridiculously over-dramatic sequence about nothing, but anything involving Robyn immediately becomes 10 times more brilliant so please watch:

Ps. Don’t forget to enter this competition to win tickets to Robyn‘s secret show tomorrow.

The string-laden ‘Indestructible‘ found at the end of Robyn’s ‘Body Talk Pt. 2′ was always destined for a dance makeover and single release, and though the new edit isn’t as immediate as the revamped ‘Dancing On My Own’ or ‘Hang With Me’, it’s still excellent.

Robyn is looking very serious in the mildly raunchy accompanying promo, and is wearing a rather avant-garde outfit apparently made from giant curly drinking straws.
