    Over the course of Body Talk, Robyn has proved that there's real emotion to be found among the ones and zeros of electronic music, and Pt 3. is the culmination of that outlook: euphoric, personal, and inspirational to the last beat.

    The wistful tunes are the big draw here. They're masterworks of pop production, with Robyn's wispy voice weaving through spinning swirls of sugary synthesizers and hip-twitching beats that make it all but impossible to sit still.

    Body Talk concludes a triptych of highly enjoyable pop albums. Let's hope we don't have to wait another five years for the next batch.

    Third mediocre outing in twelve months for Swedish starlet.

    The Body Talk Series was the best thing on the Pop music scene of 2010.What i admire in Robyn is that she can put raw emotions on dance/pop songs, making true music in a genre that's not usually deep.… Expand

    I am a huge fan of Robyn's last cd and did not think that she'd ever be able to duplicate the energy. I'll probably end up liking Body Talk more than her Robyn cd. Body Talk is an amazing listen packed with great song after great song. It's the best album of 2010 in my opinion. You might not agree with that but cannot deny that it's the best dance/pop album of year.… Expand

    This is an amazing Dance album filled with up-tempo songs that will make you wanna dance like if there was no tomorrow. The highlights in this album are 'Dancing On My Own', 'Indestructible', 'Call Your Girlfriend' and I love 'U Should Know Better' featuring Snoop Dogg. Totally worth buying… Expand

    Some really good pop songs that make Katie Perry and Miley Cyrus look like kiddie pop crap. Well produced stuff that's actually memorable.
