Track of the Moment

Stop my beating heart, it’s new Robyn!

Only hours ago as Robyn‘s brilliant Body Talk was soundtracking my workout, did I wonder when the platinum-haired pixie was going to get around to releasing a new single and video from her pop magnum opus (“Time Machine,” please). I never considered she might have something new up her sleeve.

Doing my typical Tuesday perusal of all that’s new on iTunes, I came across “Cardiac Arrest,” a rambunctious number from Teddybears featuring Robyn. Fellow Swedes, the Teddybears trio features Patrik Arve and brothers Joakim Åhlund (lead guitarist of Caesars) and Klas Åhlund, whose pawprints are all over Body Talk (as well as Robyn’s eponymous 2005 album). “Cardiac Arrest” first surfaced on last year’s Teddybears album, Devil’s Music, with singer/rapper Maipei in the role Robyn has now assumed. Guess which my ears prefer?

With the release of “Cardiac Arrest,” Robyn has made my week once again. Here’s one of those lyrics videos that seem to be all the rage with kids these days. (It’s really “bone” and not “bomb” maker?)
