}} ''Do It Again'' is an extended play (EP) by Norwegian electronic music duo Röyksopp and Swedish singer-songwriter Robyn, released on 23 May 2014 by Dog Triumph. The extended play coincides with Röyksopp and Robyn's joint tour, the Röyksopp & Robyn Do It Again Tour 2014, featuring shows in Europe and North America. Following her Body Talk Tour, Robyn travelled to Bergen, Norway, where she began working on new music with Röyksopp in early 2013, having previously collaborated with the duo on the songs "The Girl and the Robot" (2009) and "None of Dem" (2010). The extended play was met with generally positive reviews from music critics, who praised its music as "flawlessly-produced" and "adventurous". ''Do It Again'' reached number three in Norway and number 20 in the United Kingdom, while becoming the first number-one album on ''Billboard''s Dance/Electronic Albums chart for both artists. It was preceded by the singles "Do It Again" and "Sayit", the former of which attained moderate success on the charts. The EP was nominated for the 2015 Grammy Award for Best Dance/Electronic Album. ==Background and development== Röyksopp and Robyn first collaborated in 2009 on the song "The Girl and the Robot", which was released as a single from Röyksopp's third studio album, ''Junior''. The two artists collaborated again in 2010 on "None of Dem", a track from Robyn's fifth studio album, ''Body Talk Pt. 1''. On 9 December 2013, Röyksopp and Robyn announced plans to embark on a joint tour titled the Röyksopp & Robyn Do It Again Tour 2014, which would include dates across Europe and North America. After concluding her Body Talk Tour, Robyn felt uninspired to record a new album. She decided to travel to Bergen, Norway, where she started working on new music with Röyksopp in the beginning of 2013 "with no real agenda".〔 "I've been going back and forth to Bergen to record and write with the boys up until recently. Collaborating with Robyn also stated that she wanted to work with the duo "from scratch". "I thought it would be interesting. In the beginning we just decided to make music. No one said, 'We should make music for this album' or 'We should make music for that album.' Then I had this idea where, you know, maybe we can create something ''together''. I had no real wish to start recording an album right away. I'd just gotten off tour. I wanted to just play around and do stuff and collaborate. Secretly in my mind I wanted us to be a band, but I didn't think it seriously. Then we turned into a band. Carrying the weight together is something that I think changes the music." According to Berge, the three of them were "in a particular place and space in our lives, where things were perhaps a bit bleak. So, in a way, we were all starting from square one, with no real intention other than to take our time and make what we wanted. And value every opinion, and I think that that translated well into the music."〔 The duo commented that ''Do It Again'' "doesn't sound like Röyksopp featuring Robyn or Robyn produced by Röyksopp, it's just something else entirely. The word 'collaboration' has never before been more justified in the world of music!"〔 In April 2014, it was reported that ''Do It Again'' would serve as an introduction to Röyksopp's then-untitled fifth studio album, ''The Inevitable End'', which was released in November and features two songs from the EP.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Do It Again (EP)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
