Robyn rejects working with Madonna

Robyn says she would not work with Madonna unless she focuses on music, and that her new single's title is a deliberate reference to Madonna.

Robyn has said that she wouldn't work with Madonna unless she focuses more on her music than being a celebrity. The singer, whose new single shares its name with Madonna's 1987 number one hit 'Who's That Girl' said: "I don't expect to work with her! Anyway, I don't collaborate with celebs, I work with musicians". Although, she did provide backing vocals for Britney Spears' single 'Piece Of Me', released earlier this year. Is Britney a celebrity or a musician these days?

Anyway, I digress. Speaking about her latest single, Robyn said that the Madonna connection was not coincidence. "The line is of course from Madonna, [but] it's more than just a reference to Madonna. The song is about the concept of her being this pop icon and what I would do with it. People make immediate connections when they hear the title so it's fun to play with that".
