Robyn has finally announced her first new album in eight years, which boasts her most Robyn-esque title yet; Sexistential is out March 27 via Young. The Swedish pop star is dropping not one, but two new songs today to ring in the big news. “Talk to Me” comes with a music video directed by Casper Sejersen, while the IVF-themed “Sexistential” gets its own lyrics visual. Give those singles a listen below.
While the album title started as an in-joke, Robyn soon realized it encapsulated her overarching beliefs and moods. “Exploring my sensual life is the same feeling as when I make a good song,” she explained in a press release. “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.”
Naturally, Robyn followed through on that with Sexistential by tapping Max Martin to co-write “Talk to Me,” uncorking her inner Prince and divulging one of her biggest turn-ons. Equal parts rousing and determined, Sexistential’s title track was co-written with Klas Åhlund as a direct riposte to André 3000 claiming nobody wants to hear him rap about his colonoscopy. “It was my cue,” said Robyn. “I have to do this, I have to write a rap about IVF.”
Sexistential is Robyn’s ninth studio album and follows her 2018 comeback LP Honey. It’s billed as a return to her pop songwriting and in line with her Body Talk era. She recently performed “Dopamine,” her first new song in seven years and the album’s lead single, live on New Years Eve.
