Robyn on tour in 2003
.In November 2002, Robyn swapped labels at BMG (from RCA to Jive Records) and released the album Don't Stop the Music in Sweden.^ Her following album My Truth was released in May 17, 1999, but not in the US (though it was promised to be) because her American record company RCA didn’t think the album contained any potential hits.

 ^ Shellshocked by the lack of artistic control offered by her label, however, Robyn migrated to Jive records for her third album, but felt disillusioned by their attempt to ship her to America to be shoehorned into the pre-fabricated Xtina template that was depressingly omnipotent in 2002.

 Robyn's new song "Fembot" premiered on her official website in March, 2010.[8]

Personal life

Robyn's parents are actors, and she herself was involved in acting at the age of 9, with an extra role in Kronbruden at the Swedish theatre Dramaten.
.After the release of her second album in 1999, My Truth, Robyn became a UNICEF ambassador and visited, among other countries, Kenya and Tanzania.^ Her following album My Truth was released in May 17, 1999, but not in the US (though it was promised to be) because her American record company RCA didn’t think the album contained any potential hits.

 ^ Even if it took a few years to put together the label and album (and a few more to get the album released everywhere), this is the pop tour de force that Robyn has always had in her.

 During her two years of dedicating herself to this work, she intended to draw attention to UNICEF and their worldwide work for children in need of aid.
In 2000, Povel Ramel awarded her the Karamelodiktstipendiet, a scholarship for her musical achievements where most of the reward lies in the prestige and honour, and not financial incentives.
