Album Review: Robyn And La Bagatelle Magique - Love Is Free

Guido Farnell

"Five joyous tracks of carefree retro club indulgence."

More Robyn Robyn

Reportedly working her way through a bad case of writer's block, Robyn started working with regular collaborators Markus Järgerstedt and Christian Falk, the latter recently passing away, to produce these five joyous tracks of carefree retro club indulgence.

Underscored by her seriously addictive electro-pop hooks, these tunes come with rootsy '80s house and disco inflections. Without necessarily breaking new ground, the EP's charm lies in the fact that almost anyone would find it impossible to resist pulling shapes to these tunes. Loose Joints' cover of Tell You featuring a frenzied blast of horns totally rocks the spot.
