Robyn & Röyksopp - Do It Again (Official Video) [+ Review]


Robyn and Röyksopp are doing it again with their new black and white music video (watch below) to accompany their track 'Do It Again'. The electropop trio have teamed up again and the result is another epic collaboration, in which Robyn sings beautifully (we especially like the humming parts). A feverish display of electronic vibes, 'Do It Again' is all about chaos and knowing that it's wrong, but still wanting to 'Do It Again', in this case with another person who evokes that type of behaviour in you. This is echoed rather poignantly in the lyrics 'We should not be friends/ We'll just do it again/ If you stay around/ We'll just do it again'. 

The video echoes this sentiment rather aptly, as it features a rather chaotic environment, in which angry townspeople are running around all over the place, people are drinking, and a girl who has her leg in a brace gets up and walks into the light. The track is all about the momentum that builds until breaking point and after that feeling is over, you want to feel it again - and this is reflected in the building of the tempo as the track reaches its breaking point with Robyn's repetition of 'Again' signalling the madness ensuing. It's a rather clever affair of striking imagery, with the video sure to keep you watching as there is purely so much going on. It's a rather magnificent pairing and the two keep on bringing the killer tracks and dramatic videos. Watch (and listen to) Robyn and Röyksopp's video below:
