In 2010, Robyn rebooted. Five years after founding her own label and securing the artistic freedom she never had as a bubblegum-pop teen icon, the Swedish singer announced an ambitious plan to release three mini-albums in one year, recording and touring simultaneously to fund her efforts. The gamble paid off: Body Talk, the compilation of those releases, distills love, loneliness, and dancefloor euphoria into electro-pop perfection. Its legacy transcends just being a stellar record: Body Talk is the mark of a singular artist claiming her future.

2010年，Robyn重新起航。在成立了她自己的厂牌、并终于获得她在作为一名泡泡糖口水歌青少年偶像时从来没有过的艺术自由的5年后，这位瑞典歌手宣布了一个野心勃勃的计划：她要在一年内发布3张迷你专辑，并且会一边录制一边进行巡演来解决资金问题。而这场赌她打赢了：几张迷你专辑的合集《Body Talk》把爱情、孤独和舞池中的亢奋浓缩凝聚成了电子流行乐的完美艺术品。专辑留下的遗产绝不仅仅是一张“杰出的专辑”：《Body Talk》是一名非凡的艺术家赢取属于她的未来的标志。

Body Talk reintroduces Robyn as an innovator and a powerhouse, as well as a woman with complexities to celebrate. She’s a hyper-optimized fembot rebelling against societal expectations; she’s a globetrotting badass you should know not to fuck with; she’s indestructible. These 15 songs surge forward with pulsating four-to-the-floor breakdowns, disco sparkles, and glitchy techno earworms (most produced by Klas Åhlund). But beneath Body Talk’s metallic armor is vulnerability: Robyn is an outsider seeking salvation on the dancefloor, who uses this space to spark the fire inside her. “Don’t you know when nothing ever seem to make sense/You put your dancing shoes on and do it again,” she proclaims on “In My Eyes.”

《Body Talk》把Robyn以一位改革者和充满活力、同时身具无数值得歌颂的复杂性女人形象重新带到世人面前。她就像一台最优性能的女版机器人，反抗着社会期望；她也像个称霸全球又无法无天的大姐大，所有人都知道最好别去惹她；她简直坚不可摧。搏动的four-to-the-floor（译者注：迪斯科及舞曲中常用节拍）间奏、火花般的迪斯科节奏、粗粝的techno（译者注：电音流派）洗脑旋律（大多由Klas Åhlund所制作）一齐在这15首歌中向前涌去。但藏在《Body Talk》厚厚的金属甲胄之下的，则是脆弱：Robyn是一个来舞池寻求救赎的外来者，利用舞池点燃内心的火。“Don’t you know when nothing ever seem to make sense/You put your dancing shoes on and do it again（你难道不知道这世界从来都让人看不透/你穿上你的舞鞋让一切重演），”她在“In My Eyes”一曲中高歌到。

A current of self-assuredness runs beneath Body Talk, even in its loneliest moments. The record’s two life-affirming hits, “Dancing on My Own” and “Call Your Girlfriend,” are vivid portrayals of heartache told from two sides of the same coin. In the former, she is brokenhearted but resilient, dancing her pain away at a nightclub among “stilettos and broken bottles.” In the latter, she is the one crushing hearts as she instructs her lover on how to ditch his girlfriend, imploring him to treat her with the respect and kindness she deserves. Robyn’s strength and empathy inspired a new generation of pop artists, from Carly Rae Jepsen to Perfume Genius, and the escapism her music offers is just as generous: Every song on Body Talk is an invitation to transform your own pain into triumph. –Quinn Moreland

即使在《Body Talk》中最孤独的时刻，也一直有一股自我确信的暗涌在其下流动。专辑中两首鼓舞人心的热单“Dancing On My Own”和“Call Your Girlfriend”就是从一枚硬币的两面来对心痛进行的生动描绘。在前一首中，她心如刀绞但仍准备走出阴霾，在满是“高跟鞋和碎酒瓶”的夜店里热舞来抛掉痛苦。而在后者中，她是那个让别人心碎之人，同时她教着她的爱人如何与他的女友分开，恳求他给她应得的尊重与关爱。Robyn的坚韧与同理心激发了从Carly Rae Jepsen到Perfume Genius的新一代流行乐艺术家的灵感，而她的音乐所提供的解脱之路也是如此开阔：《Body Talk》中的每一首歌都是把你自己的痛苦转变为个人胜利的邀请。
