The song positively glimmers. I mean: those beats! Those impassioned ad-libs three-quarters through! I'm cry. In the fan-dedicated video she released a few days ago, Robyn described "Missing U" as a song that uncovers the beauty and sadness of what happens in the state of absence. If there are two things Robyn has absolutely mastered, it's beauty and sadness. Let's also add the rare quality of uninhibited dancefloor euphoria to that list. BRB, on a high for the rest of the week, see you later when I crash back to earth. Listen forever below.
