The late '80s and early '90s marked a shift in how electronic music was perceived worldwide: the neon lights, all-night dancing, big-room sound, and utterly over-the-top nature of "rave" became a cultural phenomenon, much like the term itself suggested.

There are a handful of jarring moments on Rye Rye 's long-delayed debut that remind us of the music industry's comically strange state of artist development limbo.

Rye Rye, 'Go! Pop! Bang!': Rapper's Eclectic Debut Finally Sees Release

In 2008, things were moving quickly for Rye Rye. Her debut track, "Shake It to the Ground" -- released at the end of '07, when she was only 17 -- had caught the attention of Diplo and later electro-pop artist M.I.A. , who recruited the Baltimore teen as a hype-woman for two tours and later signed her as the first artist for her newly minted Interscope subsidiary N.E.E.T. And then Rye Rye, known for her energetic dance moves and rapid-fire delivery, caught the postponement bug.

Rye Rye “Boom Boom”

A minute or so into Rye Rye 's latest single "Boom Boom" one can't help but already feel the onslaught of comparisons to hit the 'Net involving another colorful female rappa-sometimes-sanga with a POP!!-ular single that also features the word "Boom", but really…let's not act like B-more-born Rye Rye hasn't held a certain appreciation for radio-ready hooks and fizzier-than-fizzy sonics from the beginning (not to mention the oft-ignored idea that the world doesn't have to come to an end if more than one lady rapper is successful at a time).

We caught Robyn and Rye Rye live on stage together in LA last night (opening for Katy Perry) right about the same time as the rest of the world was able to see their (pre-taped) appearance on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno , where the dynamic duo performed "Never Will Be Mine." We think our favorite JetBlue passenger is being an awfully good sport about promoting the up-and-coming rapper ( on tour, with TV appearances like this, and in the video ) even though the Robyn tune it samples, "Be Mine," hails all the way from 2005 and the "Call Your Girlfriend" crooner has Body Talk singles of her own to promote.

We're still waiting on this new full length from Baltimore's banging princess Rye Rye , but a string of singles will have to do for now, with the latest one (this one, duh) featuring the honey-voiced Robyn revisiting one of our favorite songs of hers, "Be Mine", in a syrupy tempo instead of an upbeat dance hit, with young Rye Rye rhyming over her instrumental about lost love, waiting on something that won't come and dealing with all of the tangles throughout.
