What was originally an acoustic offering on Body Talk Pt.1 serves as the lead single from Body Talk Pt.2, the cautionary "Hang With Me" gets a Robyn-pop upgrade that gives the track more focus and edge than it's strummed contemporary. She keeps up the melancholy on "Hang With Me", encouraging a friends with benefits situation but advising against letting emotions develop as it will just end in heartbreak. An interesting counterpoint to "Dancing On My Own" to be sure. Robyn punctuates the lyrics with the subject of the video, which she spends on tour. A traveling pop singer has little time for love. What the video also proves is that, while they serve as ample tools to promote her across formats, Robyn videos are more like a "gift with purchase" than what really sells her music. These songs stand and attract notice on their own, but please enjoy the video anyway.
