Robyn saved 2007. For some reason I thought it first emerged in 2005 with a very belated UK release, but turns out only a 6 month delay between Sweden and here.

 

[Rita]

Love them both but think Leona was a bit more MONUMENTAL at the time and it really felt like The X Factor had found a superstar. Fast forward to 2024 and we know different but we are talking about 2007.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Easy one. Leona is top 5 at best.

ROBYN

Love them both but think Leona was a bit more MONUMENTAL at the time and it really felt like The X Factor had found a superstar.

I agree with all this, but am going for Robyn precisely because Leona and Bleeding Love feels very much of 2007, whereas With Every Heartbeat still feels pretty vital to these ears 17 years later.

 

[Rita]

If it was DANCING ON MY OWN then it would be a WHOLE DIFFERENT KETTLE OF SEXY FISH.

Despite Leona giving me a classic diva vocal on a killer mid tempo power ballad, even I can’t pick anything other than the game changing Kleerup song.

That ALL BEING SAID, Longing For Lullabies is even better.

[Nowoco]

With Every Heartbeat is a masterpiece.

 

[GALA]

25:10. Much too close given the calibre of Robyn's first song that sounded like With Every Heartbeat.

 

[Dizzy Inner Smile]

Quite silly that Umbrella didn't win, 10 or 11 weeks at number one? But i'll accept Robyn winning its a great song
