Robyn featuring Snoop Dogg “Bum Like You (Remix)”
First presented as a chugging, acoustic rock ballad on the original Swedish edition of Robyn’s critically-slobbered over self-titled triumph before being updated into a sharper, Euro-dance pop confection for the album’s international drop, “Bum Like You”, Robyn’s canny “I’m in love with a scrub” ditty, has now been re-worked yet again for inclusion on, wait for it…ONE MORE RE-RELEASE of the three-year old project (Talk about stretching out a good thing).
This time around, Robyn isn’t found alone in her questionable (yet so relatable) infatuation with average-looking deadbeats; featured guest Snoop Dogg pays her back for her work on the Fyre Department remix of “Sensual Seduction” from earlier this year, instilling himself within “Bum”‘s clubby fizz for a little hook harmonizing before relating his own inability to eject a certain mooch-ess out of his heart: “You got no job/ No life/ It’s so wrong/ But it’s so right…”.
It’s an okay additional thirty seconds of new material that Robyn fanatics will surely eat up, but all these revisions don’t hide the fact that as much as she’s universally adored, the singer really needs to finally put Robyn to bed and start working on the next full-length project.
