After returning with her first new song in 7 years and playing her first full shows in 6 years, Robyn has officially announced her new album. As teased, it’s called Sexistential, and it’s due out on March 27 via Young (pre-order on white or black vinyl). She co-produced it with her longtime collaborator Klas Åhlund, and she says, “Exploring my sensual life is the same feeling as when I make a good song. It’s such a beautiful kind of sensitive vibration that takes so much work to keep afloat. I feel like the purpose of my life is to stay horny – it doesn’t even have to be about sex, but it’s feeling sensual and attracted to things that I enjoy, and not letting anything take over that.”
Sexistential includes her euphoric comeback single “Dopamine,” and she’s shared two more new singles. “Talk To Me” was produced by Åhlund and Oscar Holter, and features Max Martin as a co-writer. “I wrote it during the pandemic when there was no way to be physical,” Robyn says. “I like talkers, that turns me on.” The title track, meanwhile, was co-written and co-produced with Åhlund, and a press release describes it as “possibly the world’s first rap about having one-night stands while 10 weeks pregnant after IVF.” She’ll perform it tonight on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and you can hear both below.
