"Honey" is a mid-tempo business firm-pop and alternative-pop song with techno influences by Swedish singer-songwriter Robyn, released on 26 September 2018 equally the second single from her eighth studio anthology of the same name. "Honey" is produced by Joseph Mount of Metronomy, co-produced and co-written by Robyn and her frequent collaborators Klas Åhlund and Markus Jägerstedt, and mixed past the late Phillip Zdar of Cassius. The vocal's premiere on 21 May 2018 during her surprise DJ prepare at Gamble[south]' Robyn-themed pop-up club serial' 'This Party is Killing You' at the Brooklyn Basin resolved rampant social media speculation surrounding her team's arduous editing of it over a yr after an early demo of the song, a drastically divergent version sonically, was partially used on 16 April 2017 on the series finale of HBO one-act-drama Girls (2012-2017) and so a recording of that audio was taken off SoundCloud. Robyn'southward cocky-described "white whale", the song took over four years in total from its conception to complete, the longest in her career.[4] [five] [six] [seven] [viii]

"Dearest" was made available equally a two-track unmarried online the same day every bit information technology's accompanying album became available to pre-order and its radio premiere on Annie Mac's prove on BBC Radio 1 on 26 September 2018.[9] [ten] Depicting an abstract description of pleasure, sensuality, and peace of mind, some of its lyrics reference The Rolling Stones' "Yous Tin't Always Go What You lot Want" (1969), flipping its bulletin of what vs. need to a lover to signify her abandonment of optimism. The song was inspired by Robyn'due south recovery from by trauma, her favorite "hypnotic" songs and her fascination with 'honey' as a dichotomous concept.

Disquisitional reception was largely laudatory and included The New York Times, who deemed the vocal Robyn's "masterpiece" [11] [12] and ranked the song as one of the greatest tracks of 2018. An accompanying music video, directed by longtime collaborator Max Vitali, was starting time released on 5 Dec 2018, meant to show catharsis through movement that would limited i'southward self and/or their sexual liberation. It shows Robyn dancing in a warehouse amongst other dancers she plant through a Twitter casting call emphasizing many body types and ethnic background diverseness.

Background and creation [edit]

Afterward a yr in Stockholm starting in roughly mid-2012, "learning production on a non-profit grade that she helped to develop further with her ain tech festival Tekla", Robyn was picking upward "hypnotic", "weird" rhythms on some of her music programs and machines. Letting things be "awkward and undefined" in "continuous loops" in a studio by herself "similar the trance and rave tunes she heard out in clubs",[xiii] Robyn was experimenting with her frequent collaborator and touring band member Markus Jägerstedt on a broken Casio synthesizer during a break on one soundcheck in 2013 when she heard the spliced, uneven bassline its glitch created by itself for the outset time, get obsessed with it and deciding to record it. Not satisfied with the dissimilar techniques Markus tried to layer on it afterward, she saved it away on her difficult drive.

Post-obit a period of personal trauma in 2013 and 2014 including a breakup with Max Vitali and the decease of her close friend Christian Falk, Robyn started writing for the album over again in 2015 and brought the beat to layer on over again. Feeling rhythmically "claustrophobic" afterward the Torso Talk era and needing to "rewire" her ain relationship with rhythm to feel "freer", she spent 2 months trying rhythms and sounds and freestyling on the beat, inspired by her favorite tracks that required "patience" for a "loftier", such every bit George McCrae's "Rock Your Baby" (1974), Donna Summertime's "I Feel Love" (1977), Kate Bush'due south "Running Upwardly That Hill" (1985) and DJ Koze'south "XTC" (2015).[14], before finally settling on a tune after working on a chord progression with Marcus that was heading for a feeling of "healing" where she could "calm herself downward". Initially uncomfortable with the thought of collaborating again, she finally reached out to Klas Ahlund after several weeks, feeling a "liberty" to describe her ideas in a much more "protected" format given she was presenting a song she had built on her own from the basis-upwards. Lyrically, Robyn got "stuck" on the word 'honey', becoming obsessed with it and initially not knowing why. Further on, she thought the concept of the word was funny equally information technology was taken to hateful "something you'd call your lover" merely was also a "weird", "interesting", "somewhat disgusting substance bees make". Klas and Robyn would write the lyrics together, with Robyn explaining to him she wanted them to be an "abstract description of a feeling" and to take the person listening be able to "find their ain space where they could associate more than freely near pleasure, sensuality, and peace of mind". Finding the writing process "healing", Robyn meant for the song to symbolize finding a sweetness when you dig deep plenty into your own by pain, best exemplified by her favorite line, "down in the deep the honey is sweeter".

Having at this point completed a crude demo for the runway by early 2017, actress Lena Dunham asked Robyn about music she was currently working on that she could include on her HBO serial Girls and of the several demos Robyn sent, Lena picked Honey. Taking this every bit inspiration to develop the vocal by its electric current stage and include it on her album, she kept the melodic and lyrical structure, removing Ahlund's nearly in its entirety to substitute her own. Brainstorming for new ideas, she reached out to Joseph Mount of Metronomy, 1 of her favorite bands, and he signed on, starting out by spending a week "playing around" with "cord effects" on the song. Finished with this extremely "sparse" and "minimalist" second demo for weeks, Joseph inverse his listen, calling Klas and Robyn both dorsum to the studio to start yet again from scratch, with just Robyn's lyrics and melody and Markus' chord progression and cleaved Casio bassline. After several days, Mount re-emerged having put the string effect and melody through a "stupid but fun" house filter to follow Robyn's vision of "feeling like you were underwater but then you await down and there's thousands of meters downwards to the lesser of the sea, this feeling of something opening underneath". Dubbed what the team called the "sample sauce", Robyn thought it was astonishing but yet too "undefined". Aiming for slightly more "hints" of an "bodily choral construction", and at least a "elementary melody" that could notwithstanding "leave space for a lot upwardly to the imagination", she was inspired by dance music she listened to growing up that didn't have a definitive beginning and end. They eventually added most prominently a "galluping" rhythm together with a boot drum on height of the bassline, and Robyn began experimenting with a relaxed vocal commitment in a different mode than she ever had, Klas pushing her to re-record 3 times and push its "softness" to its artful limit.

Finally completed with the track's 2nd demo and prepare for mixing, Robyn had the idea to give information technology to Phillip Zdar, one one-half of the band Cassius, because she felt similar the song "needed to be mixed" as a "society track", and felt Phillip was best known in the industry for his "tape filibuster" song takes. Having accepted, she received the final product weeks afterwards and was stunned every bit it was the first time in her career she'd got a mix sent back to her that was up to her standard the "first time she heard it". Robyn'southward many vocal sessions were washed throughout Sweden, Paris, and Los Angeles, merely the majority of its production and recording was done at Ahlund's studio in Stockholm and its mixing in Paris at Phillip Zdar'due south studio.[fifteen] Robyn admitted subsequently its release to Mazed's Anna Cafolla at that place were upwards of "20 versions" of the runway by the end of its mixing process from across the nearly twelvemonth and a half of its recording,[16] and years afterwards she explained to Song Exploder 'due south Hrishikesh Hirway her "perspective" on its meaning had changed, in similar fashion to her hindsight on "about" of her past tracks, becoming much more emotionally cathartic, especially following the expiry of Phillip to an accidental fall in Paris.[17] Robyn later explained to Time 'due south Sam Lansky that she "spent more time on" 'Honey' than "on any other piece of music in [her] whole life," wanting the song to "be more than than mood" but a "physical feeling" and "make certain [information technology] explained" when y'all "about" "become through big changes" and "have those experiences that are fundamentally changing, or spiritual" such as a death or "interruption-up" that "destabilizes you in this intense way", further revealing the "years she spent feeling lost changed her indelibly" and she wouldn't probable "'exist able to go back to feeling the security that [she] felt before'" given her renewed awareness of how "'unstable the globe is'" including "'the things we accept for granted'".[xviii]

Composition and release [edit]

"Love" is a midtempo house-pop[19] and techno[20] song, keeping a tempo of 116 bpm in mutual time and a primal of B pocket-size.[21] The song was compared in mood, product, and tempo to clubs' "sunrise" playlists typically played long subsequently last phone call in anticipation of closing, becoming softer. Its production most prominently features a "pounding kick drum [...] loud and upfront" that is "side-chained to the pulsating synth", which is designed to make the rail audio like it is "animate", made predominantly with a vintage modelling remake of the rare 1980's Soviet analog Polivoks synthesizer, the Sawer synthesizer.[22] [23] Filling out the rest of the track'due south production are synths and filters from numerous machines and digital controllers belonging to herself, her co-producers and co-writers including just not express to DAW and MIDI sequencer Logic Pro, an "old analogue" LinnDrum, and others Robyn said she "collected over the years", specifically from late friend Christian Falk. [24] The "woozy", "languid", "gauzy" and "sensual" product including a "seductive", "agonized" hook is meant to "dilate a sense of apprehension", with a "crush that buzzes and rolls somehow synesthetically", and the song was written "rhythm-first", with verses described equally being sung "nearly rapped" for their cadency, speed, and relaxed vocal quality, over a "backdrop" that "thumps neatly" and "cooly". Rolling Stone described the soundscape and songwriting as "deceptively serene" with a "vortex of beats" amidst a "gilded-colored and opaque" "sea" that included "vintage synth stabs recalling the timbral signature of Kate Bush'due south "Running Up That Hill", and "a rippling electronic phrase" following her line "the current is stronger" that "drives that point home", feeling that "Information technology'southward hard not to drown in it as she promises: 'No, yous're not going to get what you need/Babe, I have what you want/Come get your honey'" equally "It's an enticing promise but tastes more bitter than sweetness, similar a siren calling sailors to their decease".[25] [26] Stylus ' Alfred Soto made comparisons of its "aqueous vanquish" to "late nineties echos" of Madonna'south Ray of Light (1998) and Sasha & Digweed, and the publication'due south Katharine St. Asaph felt information technology evoked "near obviously Róisín Murphy", before clarifying that it still sounded "like nothing else in the alt-pop world, which is a goddamn accomplishment."[27] Fourth dimension 's Sam Lansky found the rails "layered and psychedelic, like a Balearic dance party - more tactile than sonic."[28]

The vast array of applied science used on the runway was due largely to an arduous writing and product procedure from Robyn's high standards, "perfectionism",[29] and final say with her collaborators, a process that lasted over a yr and half with infamously over "20 versions" of the track, "driving Klas and Joseph crazy". While unofficial credit is spread across most of her collaborators for their shared contributions in various measures to many facets of the song, which follows Robyn'southward well-established preference of creative procedure, on a granular level, co-ordinate to a lengthy analysis with Song Exploder 's Hrishikesh Hirway, she specified who contributed the most to each. The song'southward chord progression was thanks largely to Markus Jägerstedt, information technology is early pop format'due south "broken Casio" "divide bassline" that inspired the final version thanks to Markus and Robyn, its tune, tempo, and chorus came mostly from Robyn, its lyrics and song production split between Klas Ahlund and Robyn, its rhythmic effects largely thanks to Klas, its "underwater" house "special sauce" filter and drowning-in-honey revamp including cord effects largely thanks to Joseph Mount, and its mixing entirely credited to Phillip Zdar. Robyn clarified to Pilerats ' Hayden Davies after that "neither Joseph or Klas" were "guild heads", so she felt like she "had to protect" the "single'south rhythm" that she "found herself captivated past" as "Honey transformed time and time over again – upwardly to only weeks earlier release. 'Because I don't know how to produce very well, it just took longer than what I've ever done before. I had a really particular idea, and I wanted it to be what I had heard and experienced.'"[30]

Conceptually, the song balances multiple metaphors, most predominantly making use of the dichotomous concept of dearest equally an expression to call your lover nonetheless also its property equally a "weird" and "viscous" substance. Numerous critics praised the illustration insofar as the honey she describes in the song could be "fleeting" like dear that escapes through your fingers, and/or be a substance that "sucks you in" like a hand in its jar or the early on stages of a relationship you then realize as well late is stuck.[31] [32] The vocal follows a familiar bittersweet songwriting template for Robyn of upbeat and/or uplifting product with sad lyrics, with its "show-stopping maelstrom of ethereal pulses and kicks" encapsulating Robyn's vision of "the inherent human need for contact, warmth, love and music; battling hard against the rocky shores of heartbreak," resembling dear's property as a "thicker, slower, and subtler version" of the "pop sugar" rush that came much more than quickly from the songs in her Body Talk era.[33] [34] [35]

On 20 June 2020, Robyn released "Honey" on express edition 12" vinyl, which featured remixes of the song. It was released equally part of a Honey Remix vinyl serial, alongside of "E'er Once again", "Babe Forgive Me" and "Betwixt The Lines / Beach2k20", equally role of the Love Record Stores Day 2020 event. Only 500 copies of each vinyl were manufactured.[36]

Critical reception [edit]

'Honey' received well-nigh unanimous praise from music critics globally. The New York Times ' Caryn Ganz described it every bit "glowing" while she and Time 'south Sam Lansky accounted the song Robyn'southward "masterpiece". Lansky and MTV 'south Madelin Roth both called information technology "transcendent", and Roth further described information technology as a "sweetness slice of pristine pop with vocals that are equal parts blissful, enticing, and aching", feeling it was Robyn "at her most bittersweet — arguably her all-time zone".[37] [38] [39] The Cutting 's Jessica Hopper called it "flawless",[40] and Rolling Stone called "Love" a "languid" "bout-de-force"[41] "that could run for 72 hours straight and never feel entirely unwelcome."[42] Pitchfork named "Love" the 2nd best vocal of 2018.[43]

Atwood Magazine 'south Matthew Tordoff felt 'Honey' marked a "newer, more optimistic shift" in the "tone of Robyn'southward discography", noting the remainder the vocal struck between its "overtly sexual", "sure, self challenge" to its subject and its "innocence", "vulnerab[ility]", and "honest[y]", praising the "deliberate" structure, "airy" vocals and verse "placement", as well as its "previously un-explored themes" and "different sound" which didn't "meander" but didn't "rush forth, equally you would expect from a stereotypical pop song, either" that had conspicuously "been in the works for a while".[44] Intrigued its "sensual lyrics" still "examin[ed] how female sexuality has been commercialised", Esquire 's Olivia Ovenden called it "one of many tracks" in her career "fixat[ed] with never letting her music stand still long plenty to just be 1 thing".[45] Highsnobiety 'southward Douglas Greenwood called 'Love' a "remarkable cut of potent, visceral social club music" that "recklessly plays with intimacy, taking us to a desolate trip the light fantastic floor with each mind."[46]
