Robyn - Robyn Is Here (1997)

Robyn's debut album, Robyn Is Here, isn't particularly deep, but it is well-executed European dance-pop. The Swedish teenager has an appealingly thin voice, and her producers and songwriters have a knack for crafting hooky dance-pop that sounds as if it was made in 1990, not 1997. Half of the album rides by on mediocre songs and first-rate production, but when Robyn is given a good song as on "Show Me Love" and the dynamite "Do You Know (What It Takes)" Robyn Is Here is as good as mainstream dance-pop gets.
