Like anybody with a pulse, I like to think I have pretty good taste in music. Beginning now, I'll put up a jam of the week to give you, fair readers, something to whistle to while you "work." I wouldn't categorize myself as a music snob at all (this is proven by the fact that I. Can't. Wait. for the new Britney Spears album). Simply put, I like anything that will fit into the daily dance parties I stage in my bedroom (with the curtains pulled, mind you...nobody needs to see that).
In deciding who to highlight first, only one name came to mind: Robyn.
Most of you are asking, "Who?" Chances are, if you aren't fashionable gay man and his gal pal, you probably don't know who she is. Robyn, see, broke into the mainstream with "Show Me Love" back in 1998.
Ding, ding...now you know who we are talking about. But this ain't no pop princess, see...she is so much more than that- and, frankly who Lady Gaga wishes she could be.
Last month, I went to her concert at the House of Blues Boston along with the entire gay population of Boston and the surrounding 'burbs. It was like a gay explosion. Truth be told, I've never seen a fan base like this and have neh-ver seen a performer knock it out of the ball park with each song. For serious, when the last few songs from her album dropped on YouTube, I practically wet myself. (too much?)
I could go on and on and on and on (and on) about her, so let's have the jams speak for themselves. I should note that I'm not aware of any other artist that will make you want to dance and sing along to songs about heartbreak, but bada-bing! she does it:
If you need something on the "lighter" side, here ya goooooo:
So, enjoy and embrace your inner dance hall queen.
