Robyn is set to release her ninth studio album, ‘Sexistential’, on 27th March 2026 via Young.
The album features nine pop tracks that are a nod to her previous ‘Body Talk’ trilogy. Describing the album, Robyn said it feels “like a spaceship coming through the atmosphere at a really high speed and crash landing.” She adds, “I’d had all these experiences searching too far out into space, and now I’m crashing back into myself.”
The album, co-produced with Klas Åhlund, explores themes of emotional and biological pleasure. Robyn explains, “Exploring my sensual life is the same feeling as when I make a good song.” The album’s title, initially an in-joke, encapsulates this ethos. “I feel like the purpose of my life is to stay horny,” she continues, “it doesn’t even have to be about sex, but it’s feeling sensual and attracted to things that I enjoy.”
In celebration of the announcement, Robyn has released two new singles from the album. Of ‘Talk To Me’, produced by Klas Åhlund and Oscar Holter, with Max Martin as a co-writer, Robyn explained, “I wrote it during the pandemic when there was no way to be physical. I like talkers, that turns me on.”
The second single, ‘Sexistential’, co-written and co-produced with Åhlund, is inspired by a comment from Andre 3000. Robyn shares, “I have to do this, I have to write a rap about IVF.”
