=== 2004–2009: Konichiwa Records and ''Robyn'' ===
The decade-long relationship between Robyn and her label ended in 2004. When Jive Records reacted negatively to "[[Who's That Girl (Robyn song)|Who's That Girl?]]{{"'}}s new [[electropop]] sound, the singer decided to release music on her own. In early 2005, she announced that she was leaving Jive to start her own label.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.timeout.com/newyork/music/swede-relief|title=Swede Relief |last=Vincentelli  |first=Elisabeth |work=Time Out |location=New York |date=30 January – 5 February 2008|access-date=21 February 2018}}</ref> [[Konichiwa Records]] was created to liberate Robyn artistically. She said on her website that her new album would be released earlier than anticipated, with notable collaborators including [[Klas Åhlund]] from [[Teddybears STHLM]], Swedish duo [[The Knife]] and former [[Cheiron Studios]] producer [[Alexander Kronlund]].

Robyn released the single "[[Be Mine! (Robyn song)|Be Mine!]]" in March 2005. Her fourth album, ''[[Robyn (album)|Robyn]]'', was her first number-one album in Sweden when it was released a month later. Influenced by electronica, rap, R&B and [[new-age music]], ''Robyn'' was critically praised and earned the singer three 2006 Swedish Grammy Awards: "Årets Album" (Best Album), "Årets Kompositör" (Best Writer, with Klas Åhlund) and "Årets Pop Kvinnlig" (Best Pop Female). The album evoked global interest in Robyn, who was recognized for co-writing the song "Money for Nothing" for [[Darin Zanyar]] (his debut single). She released three more singles—"Who's That Girl?", "[[Handle Me]]" and "[[Crash and Burn Girl]]"—from the eponymous LP, which was popular in Sweden. Robyn appeared on the [[Basement Jaxx]] track "[[Hey U]]" from their 2006 album, ''[[Crazy Itch Radio]]'', and contributed "[[Dream On (Christian Falk song)|Dream On]]" and "C.C.C" to [[Christian Falk]]'s ''People Say'' (his second album) that year. In December 2006, Robyn released ''[[The Rakamonie EP]]'' in the UK as a preview of her more-recent material; this was followed by the March 2007 release of "[[Konichiwa Bitches]]". A revised edition of ''Robyn'' was released in the UK the following month, with two new tracks—"[[With Every Heartbeat]]" (a collaboration with [[Kleerup]]) and "[[Cobrastyle]]" (a cover of a 2006 single by Swedish rockers [[Teddybears (band)|Teddybears]])—with slightly altered versions of the original music.

The second single from the release in the United Kingdom was "With Every Heartbeat" with [[Kleerup]], which was released in late July 2007 and topped the [[UK Singles Chart]], becoming the second single by Swedish artists to top the charts in Britain during the 2000s decade after [[Eric Prydz]]'s "[[Call on Me (Eric Prydz song)|Call on Me]]" in September and October 2004. Robyn appeared on [[Jo Whiley]]'s [[BBC Radio 1]] showcase show, ''[[Live Lounge]]''. In Australia, where ''Robyn'' reached the top ten of the [[iTunes Store]]'s album chart, "With Every Heartbeat" received attention on radio and video networks. Robyn contributed vocals to [[Fleshquartet]]'s single, "This One's for You", from their ''Voices of Eden'' album that year. Konichiwa Records signed an international licensing deal with [[Universal Music Group]] to distribute Robyn's music globally, and her UK recordings are released by [[Island Records]]. ''The Rakamonie EP'' was released in January 2008 by [[Cherrytree Records]] (a subsidiary of [[Interscope Records]]), and the US version of ''Robyn'' was released in April of that year. "With Every Heartbeat", "Handle Me" and "Cobrastyle" were top-10 club singles, and "With Every Heartbeat" received airplay on US pop and dance radio stations. Robyn provided backing vocals on [[Britney Spears]]' 2007 single, "[[Piece of Me (Britney Spears song)|Piece of Me]]", and appeared on the Fyre Department remix of "[[Sexual Eruption]]" by rapper [[Snoop Dogg]]. She made a brief US tour to promote ''Robyn'', and was the supporting act for [[Madonna]]'s [[Sticky & Sweet Tour]] on European dates in 2008.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.madonna.com/news/title/robyn-to-support-madonnas-sticky-and-sweet-tour |title=Robyn To Support Madonna's 'Sticky & Sweet' Tour |website=Madonna.com |access-date=28 May 2014}}</ref> In January 2009, Robyn received a 2008 Swedish [[Grammis]] Award for Best Live Act.<ref>{{cite web |first=Anna |last=Lindström |url=http://www.expressen.se/noje/musik/1.1424764/robyn-ett-pris-som-manga-vill-ha |title=Robyn årets liveakt – tackade Madonna |work=Expressen |access-date=3 July 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110614125230/http://www.expressen.se/noje/musik/1.1424764/robyn-ett-pris-som-manga-vill-ha |archive-date=14 June 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
