Baker's Dozen

Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

11. RobynBody Talk

This is the pop record that everyone is still trying to make. Period. This is as good as it gets. So powerful and muscular and tender all at once. I live for this album. I don’t know – everyone’s been trying to do this record since then. The economy of it is just so amazing, but still so powerful. There are some really intensely emotional songs, that are on the edge of being like children’s songs. They’re so pop and then lyrically they’re so good. The production’s so simple, but so banging. Just somehow, it’s a paradigm.

Selected in other Baker’s Dozens: Ray Aggs, Neneh Cherry
