GRAMMY-nominated singer and electronic music duo discuss their collaboration on Do It Again

Robyn And Röyksopp Do It Again

GRAMMY-nominated pop singer Robyn and Norwegian electronic music duo Röyksopp recently participated in an exclusive GRAMMY.com interview at Loews Hollywood Hotel in Hollywood, Calif., to discuss their collaboration on their 2014 EP, Do It Again, and their recording process as a trio, among other topics.

"It's fair to say that we just wanted to make music," said Röyksopp's Torbjørn Brundtland.

"It was … a collaboration in a really integrated way, so it felt like the natural thing [to do]," added Robyn.

"It feels so much [like] a collaboration because we've sat together and actually taken on all the roles … being the composer, lyricist and the producer," said Röyksopp's Svein Berge.

A native of Stockholm, Robyn's debut album, 1997's Robyn Is Here, was co-produced by GRAMMY nominee Max Martin and cracked the Billboard 200 on the strength of the Top 10 hits "Do You Know (What It Takes)" and "Show Me Love." In 2005 she established her own label, Konichiwa Records, and released her self-titled album, which earned the singer her first GRAMMY nomination for Best Electronic/Dance Album. In 2010 Robyn released Body Talk, which garnered GRAMMY nominations for 2010 and 2011 for Best Dance Recording for "Dancing On My Own" and "Call Your Girlfriend," respectively. The album also earned Robyn a 2011 GRAMMY nomination for Best Dance/Electronica Album.

Hailing from Tromsø, Norway, Röyksopp's Brundtland and Berge began recording in the early '90s. In 2002 they released their debut full-length album, Melody A.M., which peaked at No. 18 on Billboard's Top Electronic Albums chart. They followed with The Understanding (2005) and Junior (2009), both of which peaked in the Top 5 on the chart. The latter includes "The Girl And The Robot," which features vocals from Robyn. Following the release of 2010's Senior, Röyksopp released the single "Running To The Sea" in 2013, which featured fellow Norwegian singer/songwriter Susanne Sundfør.

Released May 26, Do It Again features five tracks co-written by Robyn and Röyksopp, including "Sayit," "Do It Again" and "Monument." The EP peaked at No. 14 on the Billboard 200 and topped Billboard's Top Electronic Albums chart.

Robyn and Röyksopp are in the midst of their international Do It Again tour, with dates scheduled through August.

Jan 28, 2015 - 11:58 am

Whether they came together to profess their love or combined forces to stir up some trouble, several 57th GRAMMY-nominated artists proved that two — and sometimes three ­— are better than one. The collaborations garnering current GRAMMY nominations include GRAMMY veterans, first-time GRAMMY nominees and cross-genre pairings, all of which yielded some of 2014's brightest music moments.

Ahead of Music's Biggest Night, which promises to feature even more fabulous pairings live on the GRAMMY stage, we explore 10 collaborative tracks that garnered 57th GRAMMY nominations.

Iggy Azalea Featuring Charli XCX, "Fancy"
Named Billboard's Song of the Summer for 2014, "Fancy" features a pair of first-time GRAMMY nominees in Australian rapper Iggy Azalea and British dance/pop artist Charli XCX. The certified quadruple-platinum smash was the first No. 1 single for either performer and is nominated for Record Of The Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. Azalea is also nominated for Best New Artist and Best Rap Album for The New Classic. The video for "Fancy" pays homage to the popular 1995 teen comedy Clueless — can you name the characters Azalea and Charli XCX portray?

Jessie J, Ariana Grande & Nicki Minaj, "Bang Bang"
In a GRAMMY.com interview in 2014, first-time GRAMMY nominee Jessie J described "Bang Bang" as "fun, independent [and] strong." Coincidentally, those same words can be used to describe the London native and the two other women behind this Best Pop/Duo Group Performance-nominated hit — first-time GRAMMY nominee Ariana Grande, who received a Best Pop Vocal Album nod for her debut album, My Everything, and rapper Nicki Minaj, who garnered her first Best Rap Song nomination for "Anaconda." "Bang Bang" literally dented the charts with a bang, climbing to No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Katy Perry Featuring Juicy J, "Dark Horse"
"Dark Horse" earned Katy Perry her ninth No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 hit. The song is featured on Perry's Prism, which is nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album. The collaboration earned Oscar winner and Three 6 Mafia alumnus Juicy J (born Jordan Michael Houston) his first career GRAMMY nomination. With her two 57th GRAMMY nominations, Perry now has 13 in her career. Will she garner her first career win?

Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga, "Anything Goes"
Plucked from the Great American Songbook, "Anything Goes" is the first single from Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga's collaborative pop classics album, Cheek To Cheek, which earned the pair a GRAMMY nomination for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album. When Bennett first recorded this Cole Porter-penned standard with Count Basie in 1959, Lady Gaga had yet to be "born this way." In fact, the Fame Monster wouldn't be introduced to the track until she was 13 years old. Cheek To Cheek earned Gaga her 16th GRAMMY nomination. This is the 33rd nomination for Bennett, who leads the Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album category with 11 GRAMMY wins.

Disclosure Featuring Mary J. Blige, "F For You"
Disclosure, comprising brothers Guy and Howard Lawrence, teamed with Mary J. Blige for a remix of "F For You," which received a nomination for Best Dance Recording. The original "F For You" track is featured on Disclosure's debut studio album, 2013's Settle, which garnered the duo their first career GRAMMY nomination last year for Best Dance/Electronica Album. Blige is looking to win her 10th career GRAMMY, and her first in the Dance/Electronica Field. She has previously won nine GRAMMYs in four distinct genres: R&B, rap, pop, and gospel.

Röyksopp & Robyn, "Do It Again"
Norwegian electronic music duo Röyksopp and Swedish dance/electronic artist Robyn have done it again — this time earning a GRAMMY nomination for one of their hit collaborations. Nominated for Best Dance/Electronic Album, Do It Again peaked at No. 14 on the Billboard 200 and features five songs, including the title track and "Monument." This marks the first nomination for Röyksopp and the fifth for Robyn, who was nominated previously in this category for 2011 for Body Talk, Pt. 3. The trio previously collaborated on 2009's "The Girl And The Robot."

Beyoncé Featuring Jay Z, "Drunk In Love"
Beyoncé earned two of her six total GRAMMY nominations this year for this duet with hubby Jay Z, which marks the couple's fourth collaboration to earn a nomination. The song, which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, is nominated for Best R&B Song and Best R&B Performance, and is featured on Beyoncé's 2013 self-titled album, which is also nominated for Album Of The Year. With 53 total nominations, Beyoncé stands as the most nominated female artist in GRAMMY history. Jay Z has four total nominations this year, including Best Music Film for Beyoncé & Jay Z: On The Run Tour, bringing his total to 64. With 17 GRAMMY wins to date each, Beyoncé and Jay Z are vying to overcome Kanye West for the most GRAMMY wins in the 21st century.

I Love Makonnen Featuring Drake, "Tuesday"
In 2014 first-time GRAMMY nominee I Love Makonnen (born Makonnen Sheran) released his self-titled EP featuring the track "Club Goin' Up On A Tuesday." The single caught the attention of GRAMMY-winning rapper Drake, who requested to remix the song and the rest … is viral history. In addition to receiving a GRAMMY nomination for Best Rap Sung/Collaboration, "Tuesday" has garnered approximately 46 million views on YouTube to date and netted I Love Makonnen a deal with Drake's label, OVO Sound. The Top 15 hit isn't Drake's first GRAMMY-nominated collaboration. He earned two 2011 nods for Best Rap Sung/Collaboration for "I'm On One" (with DJ Khaled, Rick Ross and Lil Wayne) and "What's My Name?" (with Rihanna).

With its nomination for Best Country Duo/Group Performance, "Somethin' Bad" has resulted in somethin' good for GRAMMY winners Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood. In the video for the song, which peaked at No. 19 on the Billboard Hot 100, Lambert and Underwood portray Belle Boyd and Priscilla Parker, a pair of motorcycle-riding jewel thieves. Lambert has four total 57th GRAMMY nominations, including Best Country Album for Platinum. Underwood also received a nod for Best Country Solo Performance for "Something In The Water."

Gregg Allman & Taj Mahal, "Statesboro Blues"
Nominated for Best American Roots Performance, "Statesboro Blues" is featured on All My Friends: Celebrating The Songs & Voice Of Gregg Allman. The live album was recorded on Jan. 10, 2014, during a concert in Atlanta that featured several artists — including fellow current nominees Keb' Mo' and Eric Church — paying tribute to the Allman Brothers Band co-founder. This marks the ninth career GRAMMY nomination for Allman and the 13th for blues musician Taj Mahal, who is slated to perform at the 2015 MusiCares Person of the Year tribute to Bob Dylan during GRAMMY Week on Feb. 6.

With the 2014 FIFA World Cup fully underway, KCRW-FM couldn't have chosen a better month to launch its 16th annual World Festival at the Hollywood Bowl. The second of the festival's six-show run took place June 29 featuring Norwegian electronic music duo Röyksopp (Svein Berge and Torbjørn Brundtland) and GRAMMY-nominated Swedish dance-pop artist Robyn.

"This, my friends, is the good life," said KCRW-FM Music Director Jason Bentley in his address to the audience following an eclectic opening set from Swedish pop artist Zhala (the first signee to Robyn's Konichiwa Records). "We're going to turn the Hollywood Bowl into a giant dance party."

But what ensued was more than just a dance party — it was nonstop party mania separated into three roughly 45-minute sets, beginning with solo sets from Röyksopp and then Robyn before the trio joined for the finale.

Röyksopp's opening set had the sold-out crowd on their feet, with some fans letting their outstretched arms guide their bodies to the beat while others were armed with props such as Chinese hand fans that they waved around and Slinkies that slid down from arm to arm. The duo's set was filled with uninterrupted swirling beats and melodies, punctuated by a guest appearance from fellow Norwegian singer/songwriter Susanne Sundfør, who lent vocals on "What Else Is There?" and "This Must Be It."

With no set change and the house music reverberating on endless loop, Robyn entered for her portion and the crowd let out an exuberant cheer, likely not expecting such a seamless set transition. Wearing boxing shorts and a hoodie to match, she opened joined only by two keyboardists, but as the set progressed more of her players, including Röyksopp's live band, joined her onstage. She began with "Be Mine" before taking her first dance break of the evening, showing off her moves (and a little bit of twerking) that drove the crowd to follow suit. Soon fans were not only dancing in aisles but walkways were full of moving bodies, likely to the dismay of venue security.

"Indestructible" from 2010's Body Talk was the first song to incite an explosive reaction from the crowd as they sang along to the courageous lyrics: "I'm going to love you like I've never been hurt before/I'm going to love you like I'm indestructible."

Robyn's final three songs proved why, in an age of heavily manufactured pop music, she is the real deal. A well-trained singer, her songs are well-crafted and her ability to make a close connection with such a large audience is impressive. Following the dance-pop confessional "Call Your Girlfriend," the opening notes to "Dancing On My Own" began and brought the crowd to their highest point of participation. As the crowd sang the lyrics, unprompted, to the song's chorus — "I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her, ohhh" — Robyn displayed some humorous stage theatrics (her back to the crowd and arms wrapped around herself, she pretended to be making out with someone).

After a quick wardrobe change, Robyn, who was now decked out in silver and sparkles, returned with Röyksopp, who were similarly dressed in silver face masks á la Daft Punk. The trio performed select songs off their 2014 mini-album Do It Again, including the pounding club track "Sayit" and the title track, the latter of which was highlighted by the release of streams of confetti. With time for just one encore, the trio returned again, this time with Robyn behind the turntables, to perform "None Of Dem."

And after a collective bow, the audience cheered them offstage. As I made my way toward the exit, I heard people say, more than once, "That was amazing."

Set List:

Robyn
"Be Mine"
"Love Is Free”
"Set Me Free”
“Indestructible"
"Main Thing"
"Stars 4-Ever"
"Call Your Girlfriend"
"Dancing On My Own"
