She's a bona fide pop star overseas with chart-topping hits across Europe, and now Robyn is gearing up to take on North America.

The Swedish singer released "The Rakomonie EP" on iTunes earlier this year to give people a taste of her pop candy. The EP includes her #1 U.K. smash "With Every Heartbeat." Her new U.S. single "Handle Me" was released last week and is taken from Robyn's full-length self-titled album that will be in stores on April 29.

Robyn and I caught up a few weeks ago in Europe for our podcast interview. She was at home in Sweden and I was traveling in Amsterdam. We were connected via New York, which explains the slight echo on the line. Half-way through our call, Robyn's cell phone battery gave out and we reconnected again the next day. I did some minor edits to the sound file to create one smooth podcast for you.

Robyn talks candidly about her progression as an artist, being her own label boss, her fashion and sense of style, her inspiration and the importance of her gay fans. A very special thanks to everyone that submitted questions for Robyn.
