Love Is Free
Robyn & La Bagatelle Magique (Ft. Maluca)
“Love is Free” is the title track of the “mini-album” by Robyn & La Bagatelle Magique.
The one thing that — for me — that set the whole agenda for the whole record, not just what it sounds like musically, but what it means, is the line ‘Love is free.’ I think it’s genius. Christian found that sample.” This is Robyn, talking about Christian Falk, one of her conspirators in the trio La Bagatelle Magique. “But he wanted to turn it into a sad love song. He’s like, ‘I want it to be about when you’re on the dance floor and you’re crying.’ Cause he knows that I get that kind of stuff. And he’s like, ‘And then you’re saying to yourself, ‘You’re gonna make it.’ I was like, ‘No! This has to be happy!’” And now Robyn is pounding the table. “Like, ‘Love is free! It’s a celebration, these things you can’t control.’ You know? When life takes you into a spin and you have to just kind of embrace it and jump ahead of yourself and let go?
