Robyn Announces New Album Sexistential, Drops Two Songs

"Robyn has finally announced her new album, 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."

"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.""

Robyn announced her ninth studio album, Sexistential, due March 27 via Young. She released two new songs: "Talk to Me" with a Casper Sejersen-directed video, and the IVF-themed "Sexistential" with a lyrics visual. The album title began as an in-joke but came to represent a focus on sensuality and sustained desire as a creative purpose. Robyn enlisted Max Martin to co-write "Talk to Me" and co-wrote the title track with Klas Åhlund, turning the song into a response to André 3000 and incorporating a rap about IVF. The album follows her 2018 comeback and signals a return to pop songwriting, with "Dopamine" as the lead single performed on New Year's Eve.
