Swedish singer-songwriter Robyn has announced her upcoming ninth studio album “Sexistential” will be released on March 27, 2026.
This marks her first album in eight years, following the 2018 album “Honey”.
The album comprises 9 tracks, produced by Robyn, Klas Ahlund, and Oscar Holter.
Robyn describes the album as, “like a spaceship coming through the atmosphere at a really high speed and crash landing. That's how I felt, like I'd had all these experiences searching too far out into space, and now I'm crashing back into myself.”
Robyn said of the album title, “Exploring my sensual life is the same feeling as when I make a good song. 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.”
From the album, she premiered two new songs “Talk To Me” and the title track “Sexistential” on BBC Radio 1's New Music Show with Jack Saunders.- “Talk To Me” is accompanied by a music video, which was directed by Casper Wackerhausen-Sejersen.
She co-wrote the song with Max Martin, Klas Ahlund, and Oscar Holter. Produced by Klas Ahlund and Oscar Holter. It is the first song that Robyn and Max Martin worked together since the 202 song “Time Machine”.
Robyn said of the song, "I wrote it during the pandemic when there was no way to be physical. I like talkers, that turns me on.” -
“Sexistential” was written and produced by Klas Ahlund and Robyn. The song is about looking for random hookups while she was pregnant via IVF.
She teased the song at Acne Studios' Paris Fashion Week show.
Robyn said of the song, “It was my cue. I have to do this, I have to write a rap about IVF.”
