After years of anticipation, generational pop icon Robyn has officially announced her ninth studio album, Sexistential, set for release on March 27, 2026 via Young. Alongside the announcement, she has unveiled two brand-new singles — “Talk To Me” and the title track “Sexistential” — offering the clearest signal yet of a fearless new creative chapter.
Following the introspective, inward-looking club meditations of 2018’s Honey, Robyn now pivots toward something more playful, physical, and euphoric. Sexistential is a tightly focused, nine-track pop record that reconnects with the emotional immediacy and kinetic rush that defined her era-shaping Body Talk trilogy. Describing the album’s emotional arc, Robyn likens it to “a spaceship coming through the atmosphere at a really high speed and crash landing” — a visceral return inward after years of searching outward.
The album is co-produced primarily with longtime collaborator Klas Åhlund, whose creative chemistry with Robyn has long been central to her sound. Together, they lean into punchy structures, bold melodies, and sensual confidence. Pleasure, vulnerability, and desire are framed not as distractions, but as creative fuel — blurring the boundaries between emotional expression and physical sensation. What initially began as an internal joke evolved into the album’s defining concept, capturing exactly where Robyn stands today as both an artist and a person.
The newly released singles showcase two distinct but complementary sides of this era. “Talk To Me,” produced by Åhlund and Oscar Holter and co-written with pop architect Max Martin, delivers pure pop exhilaration with a modern, razor-sharp edge. In contrast, the title track “Sexistential” pushes further into uncharted territory, transforming deeply personal experiences into fearless, incisive storytelling that feels both intimate and confrontational.
To mark the launch of this new chapter, Robyn is set to perform “Sexistential” tonight on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, a high-profile moment that underscores the significance of her return to the spotlight.
With Sexistential, Robyn doesn’t simply revisit past glories — she reframes them through a lens of hard-earned confidence and renewed creative fire. It’s not just a comeback; it’s a bold arrival, fully recharged and unapologetically alive.
