Body Talk is the seventh studio album (fifth internationally released) by Swedish singer Robyn, released on 22 November 2010 by Konichiwa Records. Robyn first announced in early 2010 that she would release three mini-albums throughout the course of 2010. However, it was later announced that a full-length album would be released instead of a third mini-album. The first two mini-albums of what was dubbed the Body Talk series, Body Talk Pt. 1 and Body Talk Pt. 2, were released in June and September 2010. While being a separate studio album in its own right, the full-length release also serves as a compilation album, containing the "best songs" from the first two entries in the Body Talk series in addition to five new songs. In certain territories, the new songs were also available separately as an extended play released the same day, titled Body Talk Pt. 3. The four songs and two acoustic versions from the project that were excluded from the original track listing were later included on the German iTunes and 2019 Record Store Day vinyl versions of the album.

In October 2019, the album was placed at number eight on Pitchfork{{'s}} list of "The 200 Best Albums of the 2010s".{{Cite web|url=https://pitchfork.com/features/lists-and-guides/the-200-best-albums-of-the-2010s/|title=The 200 Best Albums of the 2010s|website=Pitchfork|date=8 October 2019 |access-date=2019-10-21}} In 2020, the album was ranked 196 on Rolling Stone's list of 500 greatest albums of all time.{{Cite magazine|date=2020-09-22|title=The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/best-albums-of-all-time-1062063/|access-date=2021-08-17|magazine=Rolling Stone|language=en-US}} In 2024, the album was ranked 100 on Apple Music's 100 Best Albums of All Time list.{{Cite web |title=Apple Music 100 Best Albums |url=https://100best.music.apple.com/us |access-date=2024-08-03 |website=Apple Music 100 Best Albums |language=en-US}} As of 2013, combined sales of the three parts of Body Talk series were 170,000 copies in the United States.{{cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop-shop/5819975/robyn-is-making-music-again-touring-with-royksopp-in-2014|title=Robyn Is 'Making Music Again,' Touring with Röyksopp In 2014|magazine=Billboard|first=Jason|last=Lipshutz|date=9 December 2013|access-date=29 October 2018}}

Background and development

{{Quote box|width=35%|align=left|quote="[...] It was never my goal to break some kind of a world record in how many songs I could release in a year. Although I think it would count as a pretty good attempt, it's been about the process for me. It's been very interesting to try and figure out a more organic way of making music. A way that is unbiased and has its starting point in what feels logical to me, but also to the listeners.

Even though it was never a conceptual idea, but a practical solution to the problem of getting bored with just doing one thing at a time, it has influenced not only the music, but all the visual content for the album as well. And the way I've communicated with press and listeners.

In an interview with Swedish magazine Bon, Robyn announced that she had plans to release three new albums in 2010.{{cite web |last=Dombal |first=Ryan |url=https://pitchfork.com/news/38039-robyn-plans-three-albums-for-2010/ |title=Robyn Plans Three Albums for 2010 |website=Pitchfork |date=26 February 2010 |access-date=11 April 2010}} She said, "I got all these great songs so why not? [...] It's been 5 years since Robyn and I didn't want to wait with a release until they are all recorded, so I decided to start putting them out right away."{{cite news |last=Gregory |first=Jason |url=https://www.gigwise.com/news/55640/Robyn-To-Release-Two-New-Albums-In-2010 |title=Robyn To Release Three New Albums In 2010 |website=Gigwise |date=6 April 2010 |access-date=2 October 2010}} Robyn told Popjustice journalist Peter Robinson, "It's been a long time since I actually made a record! And I was thinking of how to shorten that time down and Eric, my manager, came up with the idea of what if I just start releasing songs, then I can tour them, then I can make some more songs. We started working like that. I think once it starts it will make more sense – you can just keep releasing stuff without the long breaks."{{cite web |last=Robinson |first=Peter |author-link=Peter Robinson (journalist) |url=http://www.popjustice.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=4637&Itemid=9 |title=Robyn talks 'Body Talk' |website=Popjustice |date=12 April 2010 |access-date=20 October 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100415230932/http://www.popjustice.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=4637&Itemid=9 |archive-date=15 April 2010}} Robyn collaborated with Swedish producer Max Martin on the song "Time Machine".{{cite web|title=Robyn Completes Trilogy of 2010 Releases with Body Talk, Scheduled for November 22nd |url=http://www.cherrytreerecords.com/profiles/blogs/robyn-completes-trilogy-of |date=20 October 2010 |publisher=Cherrytree Records |access-date=20 October 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110708110801/http://www.cherrytreerecords.com/profiles/blogs/robyn-completes-trilogy-of |archive-date=8 July 2011}} Martin was responsible for producing Robyn's US breakthrough hits "Do You Know (What It Takes)" and "Show Me Love", which both charted inside the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 in 1996 and 1997. She said of the collaboration: "It was nostalgic to go back into the studio together. For me, it's perfect timing – I've come full circle. It's a way for me to show that I'm not trying to distance myself from where I come from. It's still all about the songs."{{cite news|last=Ritchie|first=Kevin|title=Rockin' Robyn|url=http://www.nowtoronto.com/music/story.cfm?content=177813|newspaper=Now|volume=30|issue=11|access-date=13 November 2010|date=11 November 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101113151455/http://www.nowtoronto.com/music/story.cfm?content=177813|archive-date=13 November 2010}}

Robyn announced the release of the single, "Indestructible", on 13 October 2010.{{cite web|title=Indestructible Release!|url=http://robyn.com/#/blog/420190709|date=13 October 2010|website=Robyn.com|access-date=20 October 2010}} An acoustic version appeared on her previous album, Body Talk Pt. 2.

The second single, "Call Your Girlfriend", was released on 1 April 2011.{{cite web|url=https://itunes.apple.com/fi/album/call-your-girlfriend-single/id428964134|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121112030544/https://itunes.apple.com/fi/album/call-your-girlfriend-single/id428964134|url-status=dead|archive-date=12 November 2012|title=Call Your Girlfriend – Single by Robyn|website=iTunes Store|location=Finland|access-date=15 April 2011}}

Body Talk received acclaim from most music critics.{{Cite news |last=Nolfi |first=Joey |date=September 19, 2018 |title=Robyn announces title and release date for first album in eight years |url=https://ew.com/music/2018/09/19/robyn-new-album-honey-release-date/ |access-date=February 27, 2025 |work=Entertainment Weekly |quote=Robyn’s last proper album, Body Talk, dropped to heavy critical acclaim in 2010}} At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 86, based on 19 reviews, which indicates "universal acclaim".{{cite web |url=https://www.metacritic.com/music/body-talk/robyn |title=Reviews for Body Talk by Robyn |website=Metacritic |access-date=3 December 2010}} Music critic Jonathan Keefe from Slant Magazine said the album is "a testament to Robyn's truly forward-thinking take on contemporary pop music and to her rare ability to infuse chilly, futuristic soundscapes with genuine emotion and soul." Keefe also said that Body Talk "impresses for its thematic focus and laser-precise editing" and that the album is "one of the year's finest, most progressive pop albums". The A.V. Club also felt that the album is "hands-down the best dance-pop album of the year," and praised it as "euphoric, personal, and inspirational to the last beat", saying that it "proves there's still room for smart, mature songwriting and heartfelt performance in the high-gloss world of club music," and noting the presence of "real emotion (...) among the ones and zeros of electronic music."

Entertainment Weekly said that "Spectacular Swedish import Robyn continues to languish in the cult-act remainder bin, but these 15 excellently curated tracks deserve to change that." Pitchfork stamped it with its "Best New Music" label. Rolling Stone said it was "the best dance-pop album of 2010", with every song being "both immaculately catchy and packed with quirks". musicOMH said that Body Talk "shows just how easily [Robyn] can churn out hits more frequently than labels can process production teams."{{cite web|last=Falcone |first=Jon |url=https://www.musicomh.com/reviews/albums/robyn-body-talk |title=Robyn – Body Talk |work=musicOMH |date=27 August 2009 |access-date=2 December 2010}} AllMusic music critic Heather Phares said that "Releasing that much new music within six months was a feat in and of itself, but the fact that each part of Body Talk was so consistent made the whole project even more impressive." Phares said that the album's appeal "isn't just experimental: by picking the best of the project's songs, it feels like a greatest-hits collection and brand new album rolled into one."
