Video of the Day: Robyn, “Dancehall Queen”

Swedish electro-dance star Robyn dropped a pretty devastating trifecta of innovative pop records on us this year, the “Body Talk” series. “Dancehall Queen” showed up on the first of the albums but this throwback video looks like the kind of thing that MTV played when the network was born.

The song’s mood swings from 90s hip-hop to reggae before settling into a pretty bizarre synth-driven groove somewhere closer to the latter. “I came to dance, not to socialize,” is a great lyric, too.
