If you have ever scream-shouted the lyrics “My style is the bomb didi bom di deng gi deng digi digi” in a dark corner at a gay bar, your time has come. It’s been nearly a decade since Robyn’s last album, but the Swedish pop star is officially back: Per Rolling Stone, she is set to drop her next album, Sexistential, on March 27.
Alongside the announcement, Robyn released the album’s title track — in which she raps about IVF — and “Talk To Me,” both of which she debuted during a New Year’s Eve show at the Brooklyn Paramount. She also dropped the full track list, which includes titles like “Blow My Mind,” “Sucker for Love,” and “Light Up.” In a statement to RS, Robyn said she wrote “Talk to Me” “during the pandemic when there was no way to be physical … I like talkers, that turns me on.”

“Exploring my sensual life is the same feeling as when I make a good song,” she added of the album title. “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.”

Robyn has been teasing new work since November, when she released a new single, “Dopamine” — her first new song (not including features) in nearly seven years. While she’s been busy recording with Charli XCX, SG Lewis, and Jamie xx, she hasn’t dropped any new music of her own since the release of her eighth studio album, Honey, in 2018. The only thing we know for certain is that Robyn’s music rules the dance floor — and at least one classic scene from Lena Dunham’s Girls. Things are looking bleak, but at least a musical shot of dopamine is on its way.
