Checkout quotes by Robyn on Music

• ‟ Being onstage and communicating with an audience was part of my life since I was very little, but I was never pushed into singing. My parents were so uninterested in me making music.

  - Robyn
  

• ‟ When you're listening to club music, there's no reward. The reward isn't, 'Oh, here's the chorus, here's the lyric that makes sense.' You have to enjoy what it is. You have to enjoy that there's no conclusion.

  - Robyn
  

• ‟ I love when people mirror themselves in my music, and I think that's the whole point of it - not telling people what it is or how they're supposed to feel... but you having a relationship with my song makes it real to me.

  - Robyn
  

• ‟ I listen to music very intensely as well: When I listen to an artist I really love, I feel like I know them. I feel like I understand what they're thinking about, even though I've never met them or talked to them.

  - Robyn
  

• ‟ The marketing is just as important as the music, almost.

  - Robyn
  

• ‟ I think I'm always adopting a persona. That's how I look at pop music. I don't feel like I have to be myself. I feel like I have to be true to myself, but I don't have to show an exact picture of who I am.

  - Robyn
  

• ‟ The music industry used to be able to control a single dance on the very smallest level of when people are supposed to hear it, and when they're supposed to start liking it, and when they're supposed to start buying it. And that's trashed, you know, that big machine that takes control and works albums for a long period.

  - Robyn
  

• ‟ Everyone's talking about how no one is buying records any more, but to me it's quite logical. In the 1990s, music was so hardcore-marketed to a certain group of people that I think a lot of kids felt taken advantage of.

  - Robyn
  

• ‟ That excitement of how music makes you want to dance - that's what got me back into it, and that's what 'Honey' is about. Me just being able to enjoy myself again.

  - Robyn
  

• ‟ To me, dance music is a lot of space - to listen to other things than melodies. I think club music and dance music really require a different way of listening.

  - Robyn
  

• ‟ When I say dance music, it's anything that makes me want to dance. It could be Timbaland and Missy Elliott, but it could also be disco music and samba music: It's not relying on melody in the same way; it's more about rhythm.

  - Robyn
  

• ‟ As a kid, I didn't know much about Prince - who he was and all the complexities of his personality - but I could still feel very close to him when I listened to his music.

  - Robyn
