Description:

Sexistential is the most ecstatic record that Robyn has ever made, the sound of one of contemporary musics most influential artists coming home. After the club music meditations of 2018s Honey, the album features nine, deeply playful pop songs that tie back to her era-defining Body Talk trilogy, designed to feel like a spaceship coming through the atmosphere at a really high speed and crash landing, she says. Thats how I felt, like Id had all these experiences searching too far out into space, and now Im crashing back into myself.

Co-produced mainly with longtime collaborator Klas hlund, Sexistential is emphatic and punchy, defiant about both emotional and biological pleasure, need and softness. The albums title started life as an in-joke before she realised it said everything she wanted to say. Exploring my sensual life is the same feeling as when I make a good song, she explains. Its 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 doesnt even have to be about sex, but its feeling sensual and attracted to things that I enjoy, and not letting anything take over that.

To celebrate the news, Robyn released two new tracks from the album. Building on the success of acclaimed first single Dopamine, new singles Talk To Me and Sexistential further reveal one of the decades most celebrated comebacks. Talk To Me produced by Klas hlund and Oscar Holter, and featuring Max Martin as a co-writer (their first collaboration since 2010s Time Machine) is pure, unadulterated fun, like Robyn trying to write a Prince or Gap Band song but underpinned with uber-contemporary production. I wrote it during the pandemic when there was no way to be physical, Robyn says. I like talkers, that turns me on.

The album news comes among a run of recent public appearances - including a performance on CNNs New Years Eve Live with Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen and two sold-out shows at Brooklyn Paramount - that have created huge anticipation and speculation around new Robyn music. Whether performing with David Byrne to celebrate Saturday Night Live's fiftieth anniversary, making show-stopping live appearances with the likes of Charli xcx and Gracie Abrams, collaborating with Yung Lean and Charli for a version of Brats 360, or soundtracking Acne Studio's 2025 Paris show, Robyn continues to shape and influence popular culture in truly unique ways.
