Pitchfork updated their site with photo galleries from the 3-day festival. They also interviewed Robyn, check out what she said!

Pitchfork: You’re back in the U.S. What are you excited about?

R: I’m excited to tour. I mean serious. I want it to feel real and authentic, even though it’s pop music. I think the live thing is important for that because it brings a connection for people that I don’t think a lot of times you get with pop music because you get it in big venues. But we’re trying to do something more playful.

My audience is kind of the same everywhere. It’s this weird mix of people. People that knew me from before, but also mixed with lots of new kinds of people. And it’s the same thing here in America which is so striking to like go to Berlin and then go to London and then go to New York and see the same kind of crowd.

I personally enjoyed Robyn’s performance in the heat!
Here’s part of what you missed from Pitchfork Festival 2010

Robyn Gets Chicago Dancing at Pitchfork Festival – Spinner

The first night of the 2010 Pitchfork Music Fest commenced with sweltering temperatures reaching the mid 90s, but it didn’t deter a crowd of of thousands there to watch Swedish pop singer Robyn give a highly energetic set in Chicago’s Union Park.

Wearing a revealing dress with the sides and back cut out, lacy tights and sunglasses, the blonde bombshell aimed to bring her icy coolness to dampen the heat. She opened with two songs from her latest electro-pop record ‘Body Talk Pt.1,’ including vocoder-infused ‘Fembot’ and ‘Cry When You Get Older.’

Upon hearing her catchy, electo beats, the crowd immediately began jumping up and down and danced along with Robyn, who strutted her stuff. The dancing probably only aided to the heat, but no one seemed to mind. “It’s so damn hot, Chicago!” Robyn screamed to the crowd. “How you doing people? We got on a flight from Sweden to come here.”

Robyn took off her sunglasses and continued to cavort and gyrate on ‘Cobrastyle,’ her boisterous cover of fellow Swedes the Teddybears’ song, which appeared on her self-titled album ‘Robyn.’ The crowd sang along to another new one, the huge single ‘Dancing On My Own,’ where she wrapped her arms around herself and danced alone. Things slowed down for the pulsating break-up anthem ‘With Every Heartbeat,’ but the momentum picked up again for ‘Dancehall Queen.’ Penultimate song ‘Don’t F—ing Tell Me What to Do’ began with a pre-recorded litany of things that are killing Robyn, like drinking, and the scintillating dance music coerced her to playfully hit the hi-hat and jab the air with punches.

She ended her 10-song set with an amplified version of ‘Be Mine,’ featuring synths that washed over the rest of the melody. “Thanks for standing in the heat,” Robyn told the drenched the crowd as the dance party wrapped.

We’ve got some news for you!

Pitchfork confirmed the release date of Body Talk Pt. 2 (for the UK at least) – it will be released September 6, 2010 – the single for the album, an up-beat version of “Hang With Me” will drop the day before, on September 5.

The second “Body Talk” should also include a team-up with Snoop Dogg, though Robyn says she’s still nailing down the appropriate permissions. “It’s a great song…that I worked on for a couple of years,” she explains. “It was really cool to be able to be in the studio with him, first because I always was a fan but also because he was really creative and we had so much of an exchange in being there together, both as vocalists. I had an idea and he really got it and got into it, which was awesome. I think it puts Snoop where he’s supposed to be, which is some place that’s very gangsta.”

Robyn says he has “a couple songs” already written for “Body Talk, Pt. 3″ but has not started recording the album out. Nevertheless, she hopes it will be finished and released “before the year is over.” [Billboard]

Robyn will be performing on Friday at the Pitchfork Music Festival – I will be there!

Robyn interview: “Yeah. Always.” An independent Pop star for independent times, interviewed during a video shoot in East London.

It’s a very warm Tuesday. I am in a cab from Barbican to Brick Lane. It’s not because I am lazy (I am lazy), it’s because I really, really don’t want to miss my allotted time with ROBYN. When you’re an international Pop star with 15 years in the business under your belt, you rarely give interviews. You do press time. Meticulously scheduled press time that, of course, all goes out the window on the day. My paranoia having got me to Rough Trade East in plenty of time, I meet Mikael for a coffee in the record shop where Robyn will perform a little later to promote the first chapter of a trilogy of new albums this year, ‘Body Talk Pt.1’. It’s an album I’ve been listening to on repeat these last couple of weeks, in particular lead single Dancing On My Own (download the J-Wow Smoked Summer Remix of it above), which picks up where With Every Heartbeat left off yet still feels as sucker-punching, relevant and exciting as ever. It’s an emotionally honest, dancefloor focused album that confidently shows a myriad of sides to a veteran Pop star who knows herself now better than ever before. If ‘Robyn’ was her breakthrough, ‘Body Talk Pt 1’ is the Swedish artist comfortably hitting her stride. The woman herself is sat outside a café just across from us. She’s eating pizza with a camera crew who are filming a video for Hang With Me, the beautiful ballad on the album. It’s actually only a short wait while one interviewer after the other (all women, funnily enough) get their few minutes with her but it’s enough time to get a little nervous.
