New Robyn Video - "With Every Heartbeat"

Any day we get to blog Robyn is a good day. The Swedish pop singer's sensational Konichiwa Bitches included this track in its UK release, and the vid treatment sees mini-Robyn working an intense asymmetrical bob, longing looks, and proving just how seriously she refuses to look back -- while walking through a crazy dangerous set of building blocks in some dude's studio. Why have building blocks in a control booth? No idea.

OK, maybe not the coolest clip ... but trying to resist that song is an exercise is futility.
And after the visual treatment for "Konichiwa Bitches," she's allowed to take a song off. (We put it after the jump, just 'cause it's the best video ever and all.)

Oh, stop being such indie snobs. Pop music is what it is, and that's a nice little pop tune.

And you'd all check out Konichiwa Bitches if you knew what was good for you.
