2026 may already be bleak, but at least Robyn is officially back.
The pop powerhouse announced today that she is releasing her ninth studio album, Sexistential in March via Young.
The album will be her first since 2018’s Honey — a softer, more meditative club record. By contrast, Sexistential is set to be a return to form of sorts, with Robyn reuniting with longtime collaborator, producer Klas Åhlund. Together with Åhlund, Robyn has made another playful pop record in the vein of her iconic Body Talk trilogy.
“[Sexistential feels] like a spaceship coming through the atmosphere at a really high speed and crash landing”, Robyn says. “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.”
Ahead, see everything we know so far about the project.

What is Sexistential about?
Robyn will be combining the thrilling pop of her early career with her current stage in life, defined by her new chapter as a single mother. Even as she steps into this domestic stage, her music is still an ode to physicality, desire and dance.
With that, her two new singles (released today) explore the pleasures of pleasure, and are a notably transparent peak into the very private artist’s life.
What are the details of new single “Talk To Me”?
“Talk To Me” is prototypical Robyn, combining cutting vulnerability with dance floor escapism. Notably, the song features a powerhouse list of collaborators, including Åhlund, The Weeknd producer Oscar Holter, and perennial hitmaker, Max Martin.
What are the details of the title track, “Sexistential”?
Robyn also released the title track to the album, “Sexistential” which may surprise fans, given that it features Robyn rapping about having one-night flings while 10 weeks pregnant after IVF. Reportedly inspired by Andre 3000 relenting about the incongruity of rapping about being his middle aged years. ‘I got to go get a colonoscopy.’ What are you rapping about? ‘My eyesight is going bad,” Andre 3000 said in a 2023 interview with GQ.
“It was my cue,” Robyn says of seeing that statement. “I have to do this, I have to write a rap about IVF.”
The result is a pulsating, awkward, funny, head-thrashing track that may be one of the most audacious in Robyn’s entire iconic catalogue.
What does Sexistential signify for Robyn’s career?
These two new tracks follow “Dopamine” released in November, which similarly evoked Sexistential‘s dance-forward sonic world.
Now with three tracks revealed from this exciting new chapter, Robyn’s fans from around the world have a fuller sense of just what the pop fore-mother will be offering up following a marquee era that found her reaching a whole new generation as a featured guest on Charli xcx’s Brat remix album alongside fellow Swedish artist Yung Lean.
“Exploring my sensual life is the same feeling as when I make a good song,” she explains of her mindset while making this new album. “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.”
