Robyn’s ‘Sexistential’ album is set for release on March 27 via Young and is available to pre-order here. Fans have already heard several tracks from the record, beginning with comeback single ‘Dopamine’, followed by the title track and ‘Talk To Me’.
The title song was described by Robyn as “possibly the world’s first rap about having one-night stands while 10 weeks pregnant after IVF”. ‘Talk To Me’ was co-written with Max Martin in their first collaboration since 2010’s ‘Time Machine’, with the singer calling it “pure, unadulterated fun”.
Talk of new material began circulating last September when longtime collaborator Klas Åhlund appeared on the Nordmark Pod and revealed he had “just finished a new Robyn album”.
Momentum continued in November when Robyn performed her first full live show since 2019 at the Fonda Theater in Hollywood. She later played two nights at Brooklyn Paramount, where both ‘Sexistential’ and ‘Talk To Me’ received their live debuts.
Since releasing her 2018 album, Robyn has teamed up with Swedish duo Smile on the track ‘Call My Name’ and released a remix of Charli XCX’s ‘360’ featuring Yung Lean.
She started 2025 with a surprise appearance alongside David Byrne for a performance of ‘Dancing On My Own’ at Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary concert, before joining Gracie Abrams on stage during the latter’s set at Lollapalooza.
Back in 2019, ‘Dancing On My Own’ was named NME’s Best Song Of The Decade, and earlier this year Robyn was also announced as one of the support acts for Harry Styles’ upcoming stadium tour.

Brad Paisley has called Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding “one of the least pretentious weddings he’s ever seen”.
The country star attended the ceremony alongside his actress wife, Kimberly Williams-Paisley. They joined around 1,000 guests at New York City’s Madison Square Garden earlier this month as the global pop icon married the American football star.
Although the celebration attracted enormous attention and involved tight security and a stunning makeover of the famous arena, Paisley said the occasion never came across as excessive.
“Ironically, (it) was one of the least pretentious weddings that I've ever seen or ever will see,” Paisley told The Associated Press during an interview. “It meant a lot to be (invited). It was, kind of, a big thank you from her to invite us.”
Paisley, who chose Swift as an opening performer for his tour when she was a teenager in 2007, said he was delighted to be included in what many considered the biggest celebrity wedding of the year.
“They were very clear with the invite, and I took this personally when I got the invite, because in the invite, it said, ‘If you're getting this, you mean a lot to us,’” he revealed.
The musician also explained that guests were not told the wedding’s exact location until the date drew nearer.
“It was really fun to watch the cat and mouse game of, like, ‘We can tell you roughly where it's going to be, we're not gonna say what building... and here's the date. If you're in, we'll tell you more,’” he continued. “I went to my wife, I said, ‘Want to go?’ and she said, ‘Absolutely, we gotta be there!’ So, we did it, it was RSVP yes.”
Other famous attendees included Brad Pitt, Gigi Hadid, Bradley Cooper, Ed Sheeran, Sabrina Carpenter, Hugh Grant, Haim and Tom Hanks.
