New Video: Robyn, ‘Konichiwa Bitches’

I Like It I Don't Like It
We loved Robyn back when she pure bubblegum. A pre-trainwreck Britney Spears. If you were born before 1990, you know her breakthrough single, “Show Me Love,” a sleek, slickly produced I-wanna-know-what-love-is sugary pre-sexual awakening, teenage banana split of a song.

Now, over a decade later, the Swedish star — who remixed Snoop’s “Sexual Seduction,” wrote about her experience with abortion, who sings about her “cookie jar,” and who, in the video below, references both balls and the c-word and employs the word “bitches” as clear as day in the song’s tle — is more spicy wasabi than pop rocks. We saw her show at the Grand Ballroom above Hammerstein earlier this month, and the one-woman style council with Christina Aguilera pipes and David Bowie hair, hooked us with her pitch-perfect electro-raunch performance.

Watch her Pee Wee’s Playhouse-style “Konichiwa Bitches” video (all that’s missing is Chairy and the secret word), watch her personalized tour of the video’s props in her MySpace video below, check out Robyn’s exclusive MTV photo gallery, and whatever you do, do not sleep on her self-tled album.
