Though she’s still best known for a megahit recorded in her teens, Sweden’s Robyn has developed into an independent pop music force in the prevailing years with 2005’s Robyn, 2006’s The Rakamonie EP, and now the Body Talk album suite that’s poised to earn rave reviews across the board. Last night’s turn at Music Hall of Williamsburg only solidified that reputation; Robyn delivered a set so energetic that she had to stop and refuel (she ate a banana while the mostly instrumental “Don’t Fucking Tell Me What to Do” played.) The pop star’s new songs (”Dancing on my Own,” and “Dancehall Queen”) were received just as well as her older efforts— songs that, like Swedes themselves, don’t age noticeably. Of all those who’ve tackled the chic “robot” aesthetic (Britney, tourmate Kelis, Janelle Monae), Robyn pulls it off most charmingly, as set opener “Fembot” showcased Robyn’s cheeky, grin-inducing rapping and rabid enthusiasm, something that didn’t dissipate as the night carried on.

Kelis opened, playing pulsating disco tracks from her recent release Flesh Tone, working hard to convey she had moved on from previous hits like “Milkshake” and “Bossy,” popular songs that were never taken that seriously; though she worked both songs into the set, they only existed as brief snippets before the rumbling house music tracks kicked back in. Kelis and Robyn also take this tour to Webster Hall next week August 4 and 5. Tickets for August 4 can be found here; August 5 is sold out.
