Roll out the red carpet, break out the bubbly, and prepare to extend a warm American welcome to European pop royalty. Robyn, the fantastic long-player from a rejuvenated Robyn Carlsson, is finally coming to the U.S. in 2008-- some three calendar years after it initially landed over in Sweden, and one since the UK got theirs.

An Interscope rep tells us that Robyn will grace U.S. shops in non-import form at last thanks to subsidiary Cherrytree Records (who also sent the Pipettes our way; keep 'em comin', guys!). As mentioned, it's due at an unspecified point in 2008, not-- as reported in a recent EW.com article-- on December 4. Tracklist details have not yet been finalized, but it's looking like Kleerup collaboration "With Every Heartbeat" (not found on the original Robyn) will make the cut!

What's more, word is Robyn is planning to make an official U.S. visit-- what us commoners might call a tour-- sometime in 2008. Hot damn! For the moment, however, she's making the rounds in the UK.
