Album Review: Robyn - Body Talk Pt. 3

The Body Talk series has come to it's final stages with the release of Body Talk pt. 3. Robyn was proud to announce that a continuation and final installment will be released in select regions whilst a complete compilation - Body Talk will be released in major markets.

The final installment part 3 contains five tracks - the dance version of Indestructible and four new upbeat, club-friendly tracks.

I got the leaked record a few days before its release. However, I want to get both Body Talk and Body Talk pt. 3 in physical copies to complete my collection. 

The part 3 is more of a celebration of the body talk series. The 5-track CD contains infectious beats that you'd just want to step out, hit the clubs and sing "I Came To Dance Not To Socialise" out loud. Well, that's what I'd do. 

Comparing it with its two predecesors, Body Talk pt. 3 impact is short but sweet. It is straight forward - dance like there's no tomorrow. Of the five tracks, my favourite would have to Get Myself Together. The dance version of Indestructible is also a good track however, its acoustic version claims the crown in being the better version. Another noteworthy track is Call Your Girlfriend; one would need to listen to it to understand what I mean. 

Given the same collaborators and producers, the songs in part 3 are very familiar with the sounds of part 1 and 2. Nothing very new aside from an extended array of choices for great Robyn songs. But one thing is for sure, you cannot just listen to the part 3 alone. It will make you crave for Robyn more. That's how great this record is people!

Track list:

01. Indestructible

02. Time Machine

03. Call Your Girlfriend

04. Get Myself Together

05. Stars 4-Ever

Official Video: Robyn - Indestructible

As I have inferred previously, Robyn confirmed Indestructible as the next single off Body Talk pt. 3. A more upbeat, disco-infectious version of the song is included on the third and final installment of the Body Talk series. The acoustic version of the song is also included on Body Talk pt. 2. Unlike Hang With Me, of which acoustic version didn't make that impact on me, with Indestructible I happen to like both versions. In fact, I think I even like the acoustic/orchestral version more than the dance version. Nonetheless, I love both styles!

The video cuts between scenes of Robyn wearing a tube costume with coloured liquids in it (tube costume custom-made by Lucy McRae) and scenes of couples making love. It was directed by Nils Ljunggren and Max Vitali.

At first look, the video may just seem your typical sex scenes-filled concept but once you get to watch it as a whole, you're gonna validate your first impression as true. Although the tube costume thing looks quite impressive at first especially with the liquid flowing in it changes colour every so often, I couldn't help but imagine Robyn looking like a hospital patient with the tube attire.

Check the video out.
