Robyn will release a new album this March.

Sexistential is the Swedish artist’s ninth full-length effort in all, and is her first since 2018’s Honey. After singing to Young last year, she remerged with the single ‘Dopamine’, which appears on the new album.

Spanning nine tracks, the album is, Robyn said in a statement, designed to sound “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.”

The LP was co-produced with longtime collaborator Klas Åhlund. Breaking down its title, Robyn said: “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.”

To mark the announcement of Sexistential, the artist has shared the title track and another new song, called ‘Talk To Me’. You can listen to both, as well as the previously released ‘Dopamine’, below.

Young will release Sexistential on 27 March 2026.
