Robyn @ Cargo, London

29th March 2007
Robyn has been around for over a decade now. She came into the music scene with Show Me Love. Even though her looks changed so little, her music took a turn into a more electro influenced pop. It is impossible to see that innocent Robyn singing sweet melodies in her latest single Konichiwa Bitches.

At her Cargo gig Robyn performed a selection of her singles. It is hard to say "hits" as with the exception of Do You Know What It Takes and Show Me Love, none of her material charted in the UK (or was released here). However as the night proved, she has a very loyal following who knew the words to all the songs she performed. Performance wise she was at top form. She taught everyone that 3 drumkits are better than 1 and that she doesn't have to change outfits or have big light shows to keep the crowd interested. She also showed everyone not only she can perform her own songs in excellence she can also pull off a Prince cover too.
Konichiwa Bitches' simplistic beats worked well live. The venue turned into a night club for the duration of With Every Heartbeat. She charmed the audience when she forgot the words to Handle Me and when she came back for a second encore - Be Mine (performed acoustic), everyone knew they were watching a future pop princess.
