Label: Island

Despite scoring a Number One with "With Every Heartbeat", Robyn's last few singles haven't sold as well as they should have, without quite reaching Roisin Murphy levels of commercial despair. "Who's That Girl" - the pinnacle of her brilliant album - deserves to reverse that trend, but may be just a little too hard-edged and aggressive, thanks to a superb production job by fellow Swedes, The Knife.

Backed by a monster electro riff, bullet beats and The Knife's trademark jabbing synths, Robyn delivers a powerhouse vocal rebuking a cheating boyfriend for his poor taste. "Good girls are sexy, like, every day", she sneers at his bland bit on the side, "I'm just sexy when I say it's okay." The way this manages to sound both edgy and utterly immediate is proof that Robyn is one of the best, most distinctive pop stars in town. Her next album should conquer the world.
