Ladies and gents, we officially have our J-A-M of the Summer, 2014 edition. Robyn and Röyksopp are teaming up for a globe-trotting tour later this year — it hits Boston’s Blue Hills Bank Pavilion on August 22 — and to get us all worked up properly, the Swedish posse is dropping a mini-album next month.
Do It Again drops on May 26, and here’s the first single, the heart-throbbing title track that’s pretty much our new favorite song.
Annie Mac premiered it a few days ago on BBC Radio 1, and she says Robyn and the boys described it as an “accidental pop song.” It was conceived, like most things, during a fun night out on the town.
