100. ROBYN / BODY TALK - APPLE MUSIC TOP 100 ALBUMS
The very last slot on these BEST OF lists is an important slot. It’s the editorial board’s way of saying – right out of the gate – that their list will be different from everyone else’s. In this case, ROBYN’s BODY TALK is a significant choice in that it takes an overlooked genre (electronic pop) and says, we consider this to be one of the strongest representations of the genre. It is a well-crafted album with energy from top to bottom. It’s sugary, robotic Swedish pop with a couple of songs that rightfully captured crossover appeal.
Would it be in my Top 100: No, but it’s still good.
Sleeper Track: Used to throw this one on mixed CDs/playlists, but “U Should Know Better” with Snoop is a surprise banger.
