Anyone remember Robyn ?

Show Me Love was her biggest hit.
She was so petite and cute. Loved her blonde short cut - and I am NOT usually a fan of short hair.
Show your love, ya'll.

I dug her. I had her Robyn Is Here album. I thought she would have had a little more success here.

She was good and had a voice. I remember when I was in Italy that she had this werid video out where people where floating around. The album must have never come out here. Too bad they never tried to release her second album here since the first one was rather big and sort of helping hand in bringing teen pop back (for better or worse).

I think she had an album out in this or last year. I remeber she looked kind of strange on the cover. Take a look.



She might be high or something. I also found that in America, there was a budget CD called "Robyn's Best" and apparently it's just an abridged verison of her first CD and includes nothing from the import only albums (of course), which sucks considering it probably wouldn't cost them anything since it's the same label but I guess you gotta sucker the few fans out there into buying this shit budget disc and those imports. For shame!

It's a terrible picture and she looks like she is fifty in it. I think the single photos from the same album looked much better. That pictures looks like Robyn's grandma.

eek That looks nothing like the lady I thought this thread was about. There was club song out around '93 called Show Me Love and the artist's name was Robin, at least I thought. She was a Black, heavyset woman. Does anyone know who I am talking about? confused

'Love For Love' - Robin S.


True but Robin S also sang a song called "Show Me Love", probably her biggest hit (still hear it every so often).

Robyn's goes "Show me love, show me life, baby show me what it's all about...." and is a teen pop song but Robyn had (has?) a great voice so it was great.

Robin S. goes "So baby if you want me, you've got to show me love...." and was a club dance song. And Robin S had (has?) an awesome voice!

From what I see on the net, she released an album called "My Truth" in 1999 (and I was in Italy back then and saw a video for a song that was probably the single "Electric"). The reviews from Amazon are very postive on the album (and from what I remember, the single was good). She has the fate of being big in Europe.

You think that's the issue? Wow becuase on her second album, she looks a lot like the girl on the first. I thought she just aged really hard or it was an awful pic. Actually I looked at some single pics and while they weren't as bad as the album cover pic, the girl on them certaintly looked more like this current one than cute you and fun Robyn.

Not only is it her face (eyes, as you pointed out) that makes her look different, it's the hair and more than anything those teeth. What is going on there?

I was going to say that her nose is kinda big too and that angle doesn't help. She filled out a bit, so her face isn't as angular. Photos ARE manipulated digitally too, ya know...

No problem. I used to get the names mixed up to, as well but it just hit me that they both had songs with the same title which were also argueably their biggest hits. Strange.

Actually, she looks really thin and frail in the new album cover and seemed to have a sort of healthy figure back in the day. Whatever they did to that photo makes her look kind of scary and old. It's kind of alarming looking. I don't believe I'm going to spend Thanksgiving possibly discussing Robyn's changing face if the weather stays bad! Oh well. It's still fun to talk about.
