Robyn

Robyn is one of those rare artists who can make you dance and ache in the same three minutes. What I admire most is her refusal to separate joy from sorrow; the upbeat production carries genuinely melancholic lyrics, and that tension is her signature. The Guardian calling her the stateswoman of alt-pop feels exactly right, because so much of today's emotional dance-pop traces back to her blueprint. Add the Nordic Music Prize and a Swedish music export award, and you see an artist treated as a national treasure, not just a hitmaker. For me, she is essential late-night listening.
