Album Announcement
Robyn Announces Ninth Album Sexistential, Drops Two Boundary-Pushing Singles
Swedish pop visionary Robyn has officially announced her ninth studio album, Sexistential, set for release on March 27, 2026, via Young. The long-awaited LP marks her first full-length project since Honey (2018) and arrives alongside two new singles: the genre-bending title track “Sexistential” and the flirty, vocal-forward “Talk to Me.”
A Pop Re-Entry, Engineered for Impact
Robyn describes the album as a high-speed emotional re-entry—“like a spaceship coming through the atmosphere at a really high speed and crash landing.” Co-produced primarily by longtime collaborator Klas Åhlund, the record reflects a gravitational pull inward, exploring identity through sensuality, self-awareness and emotional turbulence. “Exploring my sensual life is the same feeling as when I make a good song,” Robyn said in a press release, framing desire as a sustaining creative force rather than a literal theme.
Singles That Signal a Fearless Era
The album’s title track is already being hailed as one of her most audacious sonic experiments. In press materials, it’s described as “possibly the world’s first rap about having one-night stands while 10 weeks pregnant after IVF.” Robyn confirmed the inspiration came from a cultural opening created by André 3000’s 2023 comment that no one wants to hear rap about a colonoscopy. “It was my cue. I have to do this, I have to write a rap about IVF,” she said.
Meanwhile, “Talk to Me” is billed as “pure, unadulterated fun,” co-written by Max Martin—their first collaboration since “Time Machine” (2010). The track was born in isolation during the pandemic, leaning on the power of voice and personality. “I like talkers, that turns me on,” Robyn added.
The single arrives with a visually lush music video directed by Casper Sejersen, following the photographer-director’s distinct editorial aesthetic.
Live Comeback Momentum & Fan Frenzy
Robyn has already returned to stages in anticipation of the album, delivering two sold-out shows at Brooklyn Paramount, where both singles were performed live for the first time. She also appeared on CNN’s New Year’s Eve Live, performing alongside Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen, reigniting global conversation around her return.
Her comeback narrative gained traction after Åhlund teased the album’s completion on Nordmark Pod, confirming he had “just finished a new Robyn album that’s coming out.”

Since 2018, Robyn has remained culturally omnipresent via collaborations—including Jamie xx, Charli XCX, Yung Lean and Gracie Abrams—while her 2010 anthem “Dancing On My Own” continues to dominate pop canon, earning NME’s Song of the Decade and the Best Song of the 2010s.
With Sexistential, Robyn appears poised to redefine pop once more—combining futurism, vulnerability, humor and raw human frequency into a new era of boundary-less dance music.
