Pop icon Robyn steps into a new chapter today, announcing her ninth studio album Sexistential, arriving March 27 via Young/Beggars. To mark the moment, she releases two new tracks — “Talk To Me” and “Sexistential.” “Talk To Me,” produced by Klas Åhlund and Oscar Holter with Max Martin as co‑writer, was born in the stillness of the pandemic. “I wrote it during the pandemic when there was no way to be physical,” Robyn says. “I like talkers — that turns me on.”
The title track, co‑written and produced with Åhlund, pushes even further. It may well be the first rap song about a one‑night stand while being ten weeks pregnant through IVF — a direct response to André 3000’s claim that no one would want to hear him rap about his colonoscopy. Robyn disagreed. She wanted to hear that rap — and decided to write her own. “It was my cue,” she says. “I have to do this. I have to write a rap about IVF.”
Both singles arrive with visuals: a lyric video for “Sexistential” and a Casper Sejersen‑directed music video for “Talk To Me.”
Sexistential is Robyn’s most ecstatic record yet, largely co‑produced with longtime collaborator Åhlund. After the club‑meditative world of Honey (2018), this new album delivers nine deeply playful pop songs that echo the era‑defining electricity of her Body Talk trilogy. She describes the album’s energy as “a spaceship coming through the atmosphere at a really high speed and crash landing.” “That’s how I felt,” she adds. “Like I’d had all these experiences searching too far into space, and now I’m crashing back into myself.”
The album is bold and unguarded — exploring emotional and biological pleasure, desire, and tenderness with fearless clarity. The title began as an inside joke, until Robyn realized it captured exactly what she wanted to express. “Exploring my sensual life is the same feeling as when I make a good song,” she says. “It’s such a beautiful, 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 about feeling sensual and attracted to things that bring joy, and not letting anything take over that.”
The announcement follows a run of standout performances: CNN’s New Year’s Eve Live with Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen, two sold‑out nights at Brooklyn Paramount, a special appearance with David Byrne for Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary, and collaborations with Charli XCX, Gracie Abrams, Yung Lean, and Charli on a rework of “360.” She also scored Acne Studios’ Paris show in 2025. Through every project, Robyn continues to shape and shift pop culture in her own unmistakable way.
