Christian Falk | People Say

People Say was the 4th solo album to be released by long-time music producer and bassist Christian Falk. Well, it's officially a solo album, but it features so many collaborations that solo might be pushing it a bit! The album was released at the end of 2006, and reached #17 in the album charts. It was showered with critical acclaim, and led to Falk winning the award for best modern dance at the Swedish Grammis. The album features S-Pop favourites Robyn and the Ark frontman Ola Salo, as well as Falk's own daughter, Vanessa.
Contains the singles Dream On and Shine.

Robyn | Do You Really Want Me

Do you really want me? Am I really special? Yes you are dear. Do You Really Want Me was originally released in Sweden in 1995, the second single from Robyn Is Here. The track is usually touted as being her 'breakthrough' in Sweden, as début single You've Got That Somethin' only peaked at #24 on the charts, whereas Do You Really Want Me? sailed all the way up to the #2 spot. Three years later, the single was treated to a host of new remixes and released in the UK. For the subesequent US release, the more 'urban'-sounding QD3 Edit was used as the main radio mix, and a brand new video was filmed. Featured here are all the remixes from the UK 2-CD set.

01 Do You Really Want Me (Daddy C's Mekka Mix)

Basement Jaxx ft. Robyn | Hey U

Taken from Basement Jaxx's fourth studio album, Crazy Itch Radio, Hey U was rather quietly released in March 2007 as a vinyl and download-only single. Hey U was only credited to Basement Jaxx, in line with the other singles from Crazy Itch Radio, even though it is Robyn providing the lead vocals for the track. The release did not feature the original mix of the track either, but it is included in this package.

Robyn | Don't Stop The Music

After the fall-out with RCA, Robyn moved over to Jive, another label belonging to music giant BMG. Don't Stop The Music has, in general, a more upbeat poppy sound than My Truth, but that's not to say it doesn't have its moody moments! The album was set for a pan-European release, but in the end, only the singles made it. Don't Stop The Music is still only available in Sweden, where it reached #2. Understandably, Robyn was a little cheesed off that this had happened once again, and began plans for a complete termination of her record contract.
Features the singles Keep This Fire Burning (later covered by UK soul star Beverley Knight) and Don't Stop The Music (covered by Swedish gir-group Play) and O Baby, and it also includes the original version of Should Have Known, which made it onto the Robyn album in a slightly revised version.

Tracklisting
01 Keep This Fire Burning
02 Don't Stop The Music
03 O Baby
04 Blow My Mind
05 Should Have Known
06 Moonlight
07 Breakdown Intermission
08 Ain't No Thing
09 Big City
10 Psycho
11 Still Your Girl/Regntunga Skyar (Hidden Track)

Robyn | My Truth

For her second album, My Truth, Robyn went for a more intimate and 'grown-up' sound, which was praised by critics and fans alike, reaching the #2 spot on the Swedish album charts. My Truth is intensely autobiographical, hence the title. The tracks Universal Woman and Giving You Back handle the emotive subject of Robyn's secret abortion in her teens. The planned US release of the album ended up in a bit of a catfight - RCA had explicitly mentioned that they planned to release My Truth in the US, but after the album's release in Sweden, they felt the USA would not be receptive to Robyn's new sound. RCA and their American counterpart then discussed re-recording several of the tracks to give them more of a US radio-friendly feel. Robyn herself was not comfortable with this idea, and so the album was never released outside of Europe, this débacle also ended up with Robyn leaving RCA.
Features the singles Electric, Play, My Only Reason and Main Thing.

01 Play
02 My Only Reason
03 Underneath The Heart

This week's featured artist...

Robyn is here! Let's face it, it was only a matter of time before a Robyn special here on S-Pop! One of Sweden's most popular pop-exports, Robyn has been around for 14 years! Doesn't seem that long, does it? After a relatively quiet entry on to the Swedish pop scene, Robyn's international breakthrough came in 1997 with the track Show Me Love, which was used as the theme to Lukas Moodysson's 1998 film of the same name. Robyn has since worked with Max Martin, Klas Åhlund of Teddybears Sthlm, Basement Jaxx, Petter, The Knife and, perhaps most famously, Kleerup, with whom she recorded the 2007 superhit With Every Heartbeat.
So, let's celebrate one of Sweden's coolest pop princesses!

Robyn | Be Mine!

Despite her hair and eyebrows, Robyn is a bloody good singer, and this cracking little single proves it! It came out here in Sweden a couple of years ago, but recently got a new lease of life in the UK market, with a new video and a host of new remixes! With excellent lyrics and a strong melody, Be Mine! is S-Pop at its finest!

Tracklisting
01 Be Mine! (Roger Sanchez Mix)
02 Be Mine! (Redroche Vocal Mix)
03 Be Mine! (Ocelot Mthrfckrs Remix)
04 Be Mine! (Wasted Youth Mix)
05 Be Mine! (Dusty Kid In The Tunnels Vocal Remix)
06 Be Mine! (Meat Boys Remix)
