Robyn is doing her best to avoid "old patterns and behaviours" when it comes to her new music, whilst creating the follow-up to her three-part 'Body Talk' album series in 2010.

The past five years have seen her take a break, but she's also been busy working on collaborations with fellow Swedish artists such as Royksopp, whom she released an EP alongside last year - 'Do It Again'.
Speaking to BBC News, she said: "I've been questioning if I really want to keep doing what I've always done. Both this [La Bagatelle Magique collaboration] and the Royksopp album are things I've been doing in the meantime, while figuring that out.
"It's so easy to fall into old patterns and behaviours. There's always a time for change. I don't know exactly where that's going to lead me."
Now promoting new EP 'Robyn & La Bagatelle Magique', she worked on the record with Markus Jagerstedt and the late Christian Falk, who died last year from pancreatic cancer.
"He taught me so much about music. He started out as a punk bass player and then got into house music in the 80s and 90s, and from there he moved on to hip-hop and all kinds of music. He was like a magpie."
The singer's lethal diagnosis took place whilst the pair were working on music for the new album, with Robyn admitting it was "really hard" for her and Markus to return to the studio following the passing.
"We kept working as much as we could. Then of course when he, at the end of his fight with cancer, it got really difficult to be in the studio.
"We kept playing things to him, all the way up to the end. We mixed the first song two months before he died."
'Love Is Free', the first single from the new EP is to be released on August 7.
