Some words re Robyn and Royksopp's 'None Of Dem'

  • April 8, 2010
  • Popjustice

The more we hear of Robyn's 'Body Talk PT 1', the more it starts to make sense.

Things come further into focus with brooding Royksopp col­lab­or­a­tion 'None Of Dem', a distant but more minimal relation of 'The Girl And The Robot' which sounds not much like Royksopp but quite a lot like Robyn.

The track opens with Robyn opining that "none of these boys can dance, not a single one of them stand a chance, all of them girls a mess, I've seen it all before I'm not impressed. None of them get my sex, none of them move my intellect, none of them work for me, none of them make me feel anything". By the time the chorus swings around, she's had enough. "I'm so bored in this town, take me away from here, play me some kind of new sound, something true and sincere, I've got a little girl singing on repeat in my head (oh oh), take me far away from here".

The song is five minutes and thirteen seconds in length.
