Robyn and Röyksopp to release mini-album

Robyn has announced a "mini-album, Röyksopp ahead of her forthcoming tour with Röyksopp. The Swedish singer and Norwegian DJs have collaborated on a five-song collection called Do It Again, which they will release on 26 May.

"This doesn't sound like Röyksopp featuring Robyn, or Robyn produced by Röyksopp – it's just something else entirely," Röyksopp said in a statement.

The Dancing on My Own singer appeared on Röyksopp's 2009 single The Girl and the Robot, while DJs Svein Berge and Torbjørn Brundtland produced Robyn's track None of Dem, from her album Body Talk. They have reportedly been collaborating on new material since early 2013. "It started to feel more like a band thing than songs for a Röyksopp or Robyn album," Robyn said recently.

Although the term mini-album might seem like a fancy nickname for an EP, the musicians have emphasised Do It Again's "cohesive ... diversity". The title track, which will be released as a single on 28 April, is described as an effervescent, "accidental pop song" that began as a "rave-inspired throwback". They have described the track as "big thumping house", while Inside the Idle Hour Club is "a pensive, slowly evolving soundscape".

On Monday, Robyn and Röyksopp unveiled a snippet of Monument, the 10-minute song that opens the album. They co-wrote the song's lyrics, drawing inspiration from a sculpture by Brazilian/American artist Juliana Cerqueira Leite, whose work Robyn said gave her a "physical experience of what it's like to define yourself or stand for something or figure out who you are".

Robyn's last full-length, Body Talk, was itself a compilation of three "mini-albums". Released in 2010, it reached only No 168 on the UK album chart.
