Robyn not impressed by Madonna single
Swedish popstar Robyn has claimed that she isn't impressed by Madonna's latest musical direction.

She said she would have preferred the veteran singer to have gone back to her musical roots rather than try to incorporate hip-hop on '4 Minutes'.

The 'Every Heartbeat' musician told the Daily Star: "I was hoping that Madonna would come out with another 'Papa Don’t Preach' so I’m a bit sad, but I haven’t heard the album yet so maybe it will surprise me."

Robyn also revealed that her new single 'Who's That Girl' was inspired by the Madonna track of the same title that reached number one in 1987.

She said: "The line is of course from Madonna. The song is about the concept of her being this pop icon and what I would do with it, my focus.

"People make immediate connections when they hear the title so it’s fun to play with that. It’s more than just a reference to Madonna.

"It’s using a very familiar or famous line but making something different out of it."
