Robyn fails me, for the first time.
Robyn released a video for "Dancehall Queen" and, I'm sorry to report, she's disappointed me.
First of all, the song itself is just weak. I mean, girlfriend released three EPs this year and there are stellar tracks on all of them, especially "None of Dem". So, other than the fact that perhaps she wanted to release a slower song, I don't know why she thought this was a good single.
And the video is not helping matters. She not even in it, which I can forgive if the video is cool. But it's not cool. It's basically a bad video you'd find at a karaoke bar, complete with a strange dancer with an autonomous ass.
I feel like directors Red Foxx, Pomp&Clout and Diplo, who is also the producer of the song, was trying really hard to capture a retro feel, like Snoop Dogg's "Sensual Seduction", but he failed.
