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’
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.”
