""Everyone has a phone where they see their heart rate, and we're learning how to decode our emotions through the hormones and chemical substances in our bodies," Robyn says of "Dopamine." "It's almost like we don't even accept that we're human anymore, like we're trying to shoot ourselves out of it and explain every single thing - which I think is great, but that's also why the world is shit, this idea that you can figure out and win life or something."
"which I think is great, but that's also why the world is shit, this idea that you can figure out and win life or something. The doubleness of Dopamine is having an emotion that is super real, super strong, intense, enjoyable or painful, and at the same time knowing that this is just a biological process in my body-and then not to choose religion or science. To just accept that they're there together and to be able to go in between."
Robyn released the single "Dopamine" with a video directed by Maril Andre. She links the song to contemporary habits of measuring bodily signals and decoding emotions via hormones and chemicals. She describes a doubleness in which emotions feel intensely real while also being recognized as biological processes. She urges not to choose between religion or science but to accept both and move between them. Robyn's most recent full album appeared in 2018 and was called "lovely but brutal." Since then she has made sporadic appearances and collaborations, including work with David Byrne, Jamie XX, Yung Lean, Charli XCX, Neneh Cherry, and Smile.
