Fittingly for the breakup mixtape highlight of 2005′s Robyn (which will be “2008′s Robyn” by the time it hits the U.S.), the video for “Be Mine” is downhearted and downcast and gray all over. Robyn walks around a darkened town and shoots some pool with her pint-sized pal, spies her former beau with his new lady, and has an “I miss you bad” fit on her bed. Some might complain that this is like yr average Robyn funfest with the color and life leached out, but cmon, did you expect pink puppies and rainbow-horned pegasuses for a song that’s the synthpop equivalent of stiff-upper-lip sniffles?

Me + Robyn = total fanboy crush
Good to see Robyn is practicing her second amendment right to bear arms.
WHY DID IT NEED A NEW VIDEO?
And why is the new video so damn lesbotic?
And what’s with the Magical Negro?
I DON’T UNDERSTAND.
The first chorus features the most awkward gyrating on a bed I’ve
ever seen. I don’t know, maybe it’s me. Maybe I’m doing it wrong.
Is she miming Tawny Kitaen? Is that why I like this?
