""I know it's just dopamine/ But it feels so real to me," Robyn sings on "Dopamine," exploring the tension between chemistry and emotion, questioning how physical stimuli can evoke such profound feelings."
"Sexistential's primary entry point is the young rush of love and sensuality counterbalanced by Robyn's newfound wisdom around long-term relationships, parenthood, and middle age."
"Robyn revives her now-signature sound for another round of dance pop catharsis, but she can't seem to stop herself from messing with the machinery, pushing against the rigidity of the genre."
"In the title track, Robyn reflects on her romantic situation, rapping about trying to get some during IVF treatment and swiping on dating apps while breastfeeding."
Robyn's album Sexistential delves into the complexities of love, desire, and parenthood, juxtaposing youthful passion with mature insights. The lead single "Dopamine" questions the nature of emotional experiences as mere chemical reactions. Throughout the album, Robyn reflects on her personal journey, including her experiences during the pandemic and her role as a single mother. The music retains her signature dance pop sound while challenging its boundaries, creating a blend of euphoria and introspection that marks her evolution as an artist.
