Robyn

[237SJ]

Does anyone else think she sounds like Kate Bush? I`ve never taken much notice of her before but I had a long drive this afternoon and Radio 2 played her.

[Patsy33]

Yes, very much..

[emmie]

she does, don't like either i'm afraid..

[Buenchico]

The suggestion that an artist might sound like the caterwauling Kate Bush is, on its own, enough to set my teeth on edge and running for the door.

However I thought that I'd give your video a try. I can't hear any real resemblance to KB (which, as I see it, has got to be a good thing). To be honest, the first thing I hear is the work of a sound engineer who's trying to show off his own skills (or lack of them) rather than those of the artist. (If an artist has got a decent voice it shouldn't be necessary to hide it behind an ridiculously over-powered bass track and an excessive use of echo).

Maybe she's a good singer, or maybe she's not, but that track hasn't got me rushing to sample more of her work.

Now't wrong with Kate Bush that clearer diction wouldn't solve.

[tonyav]

Yes she certainly does.

[Prudie]

Kate is immensely talented IMO. I can hear a similarity yes.

[Old_Geezer]

A little. But it's distinctive enough. I assume not one of her best tracks.

Unfortunately I was hearing some clicking interference throughout most of the song. Possibly a scratch on the record ? Some distortion too.

[Mamyalynne]

Slightly over engineered but yes there's a similar tone to Kate.

[B00]

I've seen Robyn live (was supporting Coldplay) and I thought she was brilliant, this is one of my all time favourite songs.....

[tonyav]

Very good, B00. I like the vid to.

[Mamyalynne]

I prefer that and am sure she is better live.

[tonyav]

Live version, Mamya.
