Robyn - “Cobrastyle” (Teddybears cover)
This is Robyn’s cover of that Teddybears song that everyone has heard at some point in their lives, whether they realize it or not — “Cobrastyle” — which probably came about due to her working with Klas Åhlund, a member of the Teddybears, in production of the album.
Robyn puts her own cute spin on the Jamaican vernacular (courtesy of Mad Cobra, originally) that made the original so catchy and fun to tap your foot to to and leaves a song that is still fun and catchy, but with a sizeable injection of silly and sexy. It practically demands repeat plays.
Ratatat - Seventeen Years
We posted Ratatat remixing Björk back in February, but we haven’t posted an actual Ratatat track yet, which seems like a huge oversight. So here’s Seventeen Years from their self-titled first album.
They’ve got a new album known only as LP3 due in July, the first single of which, Shiller, they released two days ago on 7”, and can be ordered from here.
