Dance Music Comeback Diva: Robyn

Swedish pop singer Robyn was last heard from in the United States in the Nineties. Back then, she scored two big dance music hits: "Do You Know (What It Takes)" and "Show Me Love".

In the later part of 2007, early 2008, she resurfaced in a big way with a new cd titled Robyn. The lead single "With Every Heartbeat" went to #1 in Britain and garnered the artist some press interest Stateside.

Then the remixes of "With Every Heartbeat - with Kleerup (Tong & Spoon Wonderland Remix)" began their climb on the Billboard Dance Club/Play Chart. They peaked at #5 and heralded the singer's return after a ten year U.S. drought.

Her followup track "Handle Me"is already rising up the U.S. dance chart. There is talk that "Cobrastyle" will be remixed and released to build on the momentum.
