Robyn 'not a good role model'

Despite enjoying a string of hits and earning a variety of awards, Robyn has admitted that she does not want to be considered a role model.

The singer told NME.com that she even thinks herself to be a "coward" because she does not want to shoulder the burden of people looking up to her, something she thinks is symptomatic of the times.

The 31-year-old told the publication: "I am true to myself and that means I don't make political music, but it means I make music from a girl perspective."

In addition, the Swedish star said she thinks it has almost become a bad thing for women to consider themselves to be feminists.

Robyn enjoyed chart success around the world earlier in the summer with the first of her new releases Body Talk Part 1, with the performer issuing the second volume in the duo of albums at the beginning of September.
