After the blow-out of 2010’s Body Talk trilogy, Robyn returned to her native Sweden to recuperate, only breaking her writer’s block three years later when she began working with veteran DJ Christian Falk and regular collaborator Markus Jägerstedt. Although Falk sadly died last summer, the results of their collaboration have finally surfaced on this five-track mini-album. Despite the shadow of tragedy hanging over the project, there’s an irrepressible euphoria to the music throughout, best evidenced by house-influenced, floor-filling recent single Love Is Free. Tell You (Today), meanwhile, knits together sampled horns and a carefree vocal to delightful and disarming effect. A follow-up seems unlikely, however. More’s the pity.
