Transcription

Critical reception

The song has been highly praised by critics and it has been often pointed out as one of the highlights of the album. "The Girl and the Robot" was named "Song of the Day" by Popjustice before the album was released, with reviewer calling it "a demented, choral, electronic masterpiece" and "brilliantly obsessive, bunnyboiling extravaganza."[3] BBC Music labelled it "album-stealer",[4] The Guardian called it "tremendous",[5] Pitchfork Media wrote it is "a frigid, winding bit of electro that combines a powerhouse vocal with some slippery chord changes and one of the biggest choruses of 2009 so far"[6] and Chewing Gum for The Ears noticed the track "features an excellent vocal performance by super-Swede Robyn in a techno-tinged tale of a lonely girl and her hard-working lover that's both emotional and a little goofy".[7] The Line of Best Fit described the song as "possibly the most successful [track], ... a curious tale of an ill-fated romance between a girl and… a robot",[8] while Resident Advisor called it "charming" and "over-the-top pop"[9] and Edwin's Raisin declared it "a soaring, theatrical powerhouse".[10]

The Jean Elan Remix of the track was nominated for the 2010 Grammy Award for Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical.[11] The song was ranked number sixty-eight on Pitchfork Media's list of The Top 100 Tracks of 2009.[12]

Music video

The official music video for the song was filmed in London on 27 April 2009.[13] The video stars Robyn, Torbjørn Brundtland, and Svein Berge. It was released online on 21 May 2009.
