Sexistential is the most ecstatic record that Robyn has ever made, the sound of one of contemporary music's most influential artists coming home. After the club music meditations of 2018's 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. "That's how I felt, like I'd had all these experiences searching too far out into space, and now I'm crashing back into myself."

Co-produced mainly with longtime collaborator Klas Åhlund, Sexistential is emphatic and punchy, defiant about both emotional and biological pleasure, need and softness. The album's 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. "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."

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 decade's most celebrated comebacks. "Talk To Me" – produced by Klas Åhlund and Oscar Holter, and featuring Max Martin as a co-writer (their first collaboration since 2010's "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 CNN's New Year's 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 Brat's "360," or soundtracking Acne Studio's 2025 Paris show, Robyn continues to shape and influence popular culture in truly unique ways.

Artwork

EDIT: Looks like the listings on townsend.com just went down. But the cover is her topless with the title separated by her name inside a Venn diagram. (sexi) (robyn) (stential)

Based on how it's worded it feels like she's dropping Talk To Me and Sexistential at the same time! (probably today since the listings went up just now and she has a performance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert tonight)

not 9 songs after so many years

Gag

Re-releasing Blow My Mind because people didn't get it the first time

9 songs is pathetic. Love her to bits but only 9 songs is a joke. She could have even put Life on the end to make it 10

March 27 omg yess

This is so exciting. Idc if it's 9 songs, many great albums have 9-10 songs so it's all good. PERCHED

After 8 years....

not the title track being short as hell. I see a 2:16 length. @Robyn fix it, please!

well, Talk To Me balances the situation, it's longer than 3 minutes.

@Robyn stop messing up with the lengths and give us proper bangers!

I prefer 9 good songs than 15 songs with half of them being interludes. Y'all doing too much

Don't get me wrong, I love her but we already got a song I'm not in love with, 9 tracks after nearly a decade and now a title track that's not even 2.5 mins, that's not.....
