Robyn Thinks You Look Happy, And That’s Great
Fittingly for the breakup mixtape highlight of 2005’s Robyn (which will be “2008’s Robyn” by the time it hits the U.S.), the video for “Be Mine” is downhearted and downcast and gray all over. Robyn walks around a darkened town and shoots some pool with her pint-sized pal, spies her former beau with his new lady, and has an “I miss you bad” fit on her bed. Some might complain that this is like yr average Robyn funfest with the color and life leached out, but cmon, did you expect pink puppies and rainbow-horned pegasuses for a song that’s the synthpop equivalent of stiff-upper-lip sniffles?
