Robyn: While most of today's pop stars are eager to define their public personas, '90s two-hit wonder turned electropop princess Robyn likes to keep people guessing. When asked whether her frequent tongue-in-cheek cockiness is for real, for example, she replies, "I don't like to look at myself from the outside." Maybe it's because she doesn't have time. Robyn is on the home stretch of a marathon year in which she released three albums and toured almost nonstop.
Royal Baths: No little girls were harmed in the making of Royal Baths' full-length debut. No fingernails were pulled out, no veins slashed, no moaning apparitions captured and made to spill their woe. Though Litanies sounds like a torture chamber run by the Velvet Underground, its ghostly howls and dejected mumblings emanate solely from songwriters Jeremy Cox and Jigmae Baer, a former drummer for Thee Oh Sees. The result is bewildering.
