Robyn has announced her new album ‘Sexistential’ and shared the title track and single ‘Talk To Me’ – find all the details below.
The Swedish pop icon’s ninth studio LP – her first since 2018’s critically acclaimed ‘Honey‘ – will land on March 27 via Young. It will be released on CD, limited cassette and digitally, along with magenta, white and alternate art vinyl formats. You can pre-order it here.
Following her recent comeback single ‘Dopamine‘, Robyn has now shared the title track and the song ‘Talk To Me’, both of which you can listen to below. The former is described as “possibly the world’s first rap about having one-night stands while 10 weeks pregnant after IVF” in a press release.
She said: “It was my cue. I have to do this, I have to write a rap about IVF.”

The latter, which was co-written by Max Martin, their first collaboration since 2010’s ‘Time Machine’) meanwhile is described as “pure, unadulterated fun”. Robyn added: “I wrote it during the pandemic when there was no way to be physical. I like talkers, that turns me on.”

Co-produced with longtime collaborator Klas Åhlund, Robyn said of the album: “Exploring my sensual life is the same feeling as when I make a good song.”
She added: “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.”
The full tracklisting for ‘Sexistential’ is:
1. ‘Really Real’
2. ‘Dopamine’
3. ‘Blow My Mind’
4. ‘Sucker For Love’
5. ‘It Don’t Mean A Thing’
6. ‘Talk To Me’
7. ‘Sexistential’
8. ‘Light Up’
9. ‘Into The Sun’
Robyn recently played two shows at Brooklyn Paramount where she debuted ‘Sexistential’ and ‘Talk To Me’.
Speculation about her imminent return was fuelled last September when Åhlund, appeared on the Nordmark Pod and said he had “just finished a new Robyn album that’s coming out”.
Her last studio effort ‘Honey’ was awarded four stars by NME, in a review that noted: “From an artist who conjures up so many lofty titles – pop genius being one of them – this is a record that takes an altogether different tack to cut through to the raw, complex tangle of emotion.”
In the years since the release of ‘Honey’, she’s appeared on a few tracks with other artists, including ‘Call My Name’, a 2021 collaboration with the Swedish duo Smile, and a remix of Charli XCX’s ‘360’ with Yung Lean in 2024.

Last year, she made a few live appearances, starting off by teaming up with David Byrne for a rendition of ‘Dancing On My Own’ at Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary concert, and later with Gracie Abrams at Lollapalooza.
In March 2025, she made a surprise appearance, joining Jamie xx on stage in Copenhagen for a live version of their track ‘Life’, which was released on his album ‘In Waves’ in 2024. She previously teamed up with him on the track at Glastonbury.
More recently Jamie xx also shared a trancey remix of ‘Dopamine’. In 2019 her classic hit ‘Dancing On My Own’ was voted NME‘s Best Song Of The Decade.
