Swedish pop superstar Robyn has revealed the title of her first album in eight years, Sexistential, and shared two new tracks from the release.
Out March 27 via Young, Sexistential was co-produced with longtime collaborator Klas Åhlund and marks Robyn’s first album since 2018’s Honey.
Following lead single ‘Dopamine’, Robyn has dropped two new tracks – ‘Talk To Me’ and ‘Sexistential’. The first is classic Robyn, an upbeat dancefloor filler produced by Åhlund and Oscar Holter and co-written with hitmaker Max Martin. “I wrote it during the pandemic when there was no way to be physical,” Robyn explained. “I like talkers, that turns me on.”
The title track was co-written with Åhlund and inspired by a GQ interview with Andre 3000 where he said nobody wants to hear him rap about having a colonoscopy. “It was my cue,” Robyn said. “I have to do this, I have to write a rap about IVF.”
Check out both tracks below.

Speaking about the album title, Robyn revealed it was an inside joke at first before realising it made perfect sense. “Exploring my sensual life is the same feeling as when I make a good song,” she said in the album press release. “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.”
‘Talk To Me’ and ‘Sexistential’ by Robyn are out now. Listen here. Sexistential arrives Friday, 27 March. Pre-order here.
