The latest song to emerge from the impending Arthur Russell tribute album Master Mix: Red Hot + Arthur Russell comes from Swedish pop singer Robyn, who has contributed a version of "Tell You (Today)."

This song comes from Russell's experimental disco project Loose Joints. Robyn embraces the tune's ramshackle strangeness, layering the modern electronic pulse with blaring big-band horns and spaced out laser blasts before the melody flourishes in the excellent second half.

Master Mix: Red Hot + Arthur Russell arrives on October 21 on Yep Roc with contributions from Sufjan Stevens, Hot Chip, Devendra Banhart, Blood Orange, Scissor Sisters, Phosphorescent, Jose Gonzalez, Cults, Richard Reed Parry and more.
