Robyn - Hang with me

Robyn's new single "Hang with me" (not the acoustic version from "Body talk pt. 1") is apparently starting to make the rounds. Hear a radio rip at YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCI1YkP5zyc
As for her Letterman appearance that so many people are buzzing about, I think it's okay, but it's a bummer that she's so reliant on pre-recorded backing vocal tracks. Doesn't sound very "live", y'know?
