Robyn & La Bagatelle Magique share debut track ‘Love Is Free’

Robyn has unveiled the first single from her new project, La Bagatelle Magique.

The new band consists of Robyn, keyboardist Markus Jägerstedt and posthumous member Christian Falk, who passed away last year. The remaining members will make their live debut at Stockholm’s Dans Dakar festival, 21st-22nd August, performing completely new material.

Leading the way is ‘Love Is Free’, a song continuing Robyn’s ability to lead heady dance with striking emotion. This is a much more freaky, all-out extension of what she excels in, mind you.

Describing the project, Robyn says: “It’s a band. We started working on this record three years ago. Sadly Christian passed away a year ago, and me and Markus finished this record together. [Christian] was still there, like a ghost in the machine.”

The record’s still in its mixing stages, and it’s set to consist of five / six tracks, due out this summer.

Last year saw Robyn teaming up with Röyksopp for a collaborative album, ‘Do It Again’. Catch up with the DIY cover feature from this time last year.
