Rockin' Robyn

I caught Robyn’s concert at Radio City Music Hall this past weekend and damn, does that chick have energy! First of all I think every gay this side of the Mississippi was in attendance, not that there’s anything wrong with that! She was super excited as she said that we were the biggest crowd she had ever pulled all on her own, which immediately got us on her side…and she didn’t disappoint! First off her songs are the perfect mix of electro-pop with an alternative edge. I don’t know how she does it because in less interesting/capable hands her music could be interpreted and flat-out bubble gum pop. However, because of her personal edge, super cool energy and platinum doo, she manages to transcend the typical female pop star image to emote an energy that’s real, original, fresh and totally her own. It doesn’t hurt that she has written some of the catchiest new pop songs to be released recently. She was bouncing all over the stage (and even ran up the side ramps of Radio City to shake a tail feather with the peeps in the mezzanine) in such a natural, unforced way that she instantly draws you in and makes you want to hang with her (pun intended). It was a great show, I’m so happy for her; I just wish more people would discover this fairly unknown superstar! C. U. Next Tuesday...You Is A Punk!
