Here is the official music video for Swedish pop singer-songwriter Robyn’s single “Cobrastyle.” The single is the first U.S. single from the international edition of Robyn’s self-titled album. As Robyn reinvented the song, originally performed by Swedish band Teddybears featuring Mad Cobra from their 2004 album “Fresh,” as an electro-pop dance hit, the music video, similarly takes a Jackson Pollack abstract art theme and reinvents it as performance art, as brilliant colors unfold as Robyn and band members perform against a white backdrop.
Robyn is currently touring in Europe with Madonna on the Sweet and Sticky Tour. Believing remarks she made to the press about the tour and Madonna had been misconstrued, Roybn issued a statement to set the record straight. Here is an excerpt.
I got a chance to go on tour with Madonna in Europe and like any one who’s been a fan of her since the age of ten I was super exited. Contrary to what you might have read elsewhere its been FUN! I’ve played to Madonna’s audience in eleven different cities, all of which have received us well even though I was only the opening act. Me and my band got to know Madonna’s production team and they were very helpful. Madonna’s management was super cool and we hung out with the band and dancers and had a lot of fun with them. When I met her at the end of the tour she was really cool and natural. I got a chance to thank her for putting me on and she even told me she was a fan! It was a very special moment i will never forget.

“In one interview I was asked if I wanted a career like Madonnas and I said no, my worst nightmare would be trying to be a Madonna. She’s an icon and a pioneer, but only Madonna can be Madonna. It would be sad to try to copy her model.”
