• Track Listing

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 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 with longtime collaborator Klas Åhlund, and featuring Max Martin among the writing credits, Sexistential heralds one of the decade's most celebrated comebacks. Featuring singles "Dopamine", "Talk To Me" and "Sexistential", it's emphatic and punchy, defiant about emotional and biological pleasure, need and softness. The album's title started 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."

The album news follows a run of public appearances - including performing on CNN's NYE Live with Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen and two sold-out Brooklyn Paramount shows - that have created huge anticipation for new music. Whether performing with David Byrne to celebrate SNL's fiftieth, making show-stopping live appearances with Charli xcx and Gracie Abrams, collaborating with Yung Lean and Charli or soundtracking Acne Studio's 2025 Paris show, Robyn continues her immeasurable impact on popular culture.
