Robyn: "Hang With Me" Video

Robyn

This Robyn comeback is no joke... seriously.  I thought it was kind of a joke and snobbishly pushed Robyn off as a one-hit wonder from the 90's.  Those were just my American sensibilities and too much VH1 talking.  Since she hit the U.S. in '95 as a female counterpart to Snow, Robyn has been making music and picking up accolades, especially this year following the release of Body Talk Part 1 and the forthcoming release of Body Talk Part 2 in September.  I get what she's saying her, a simple message to would be suitors... It's like, 'look, let's just hang out, and see where things go.  Don't get all crazy and start texting me right after you drop me off, or call me too many times the next day.  Maybe we'll go on rollercoasters and you can come to my soundcheck."  At least that's what I got from the video, which you can also get and draw conclusions from below.

Hit the jump for the track.
