Robyn Returns with Provocative New Album 'Sexistential': "I Feel Like the Purpose of My Life Is to Stay Horny"
For her first new album in nearly a decade, Swedish pop sensation Robyn has announced that she's pushing boundaries like never before. The forthcoming release, titled 'Sexistential', is expected to drop on March 27 via Young, and judging by its title track and accompanying singles, it promises to be a game-changer.
Robyn kicked off the promotional campaign with a New Year's Eve show in Brooklyn, where she debuted two of the album's tracks: "Talk To Me" and "Sexistential". The former is a hypnotizing exploration of happiness, produced by Robyn's longtime collaborator Klas Åhlund and Oscar Holter, with co-writing credits to Max Martin. According to Robyn, the song was written during the pandemic, when physical connections were scarce - she confesses to having a crush on "talkers", people who spark her desire.
However, it's the latter track, "Sexistential", that truly captures Robyn's attention-grabbing style. A provocative exploration of intimacy and technology, with a haunting delivery that highlights the challenges of modern dating in the age of IVF. As for inspiration, Robyn cites André 3000's dismissive comments about rapping over medical procedures, which she promptly turned into a bold statement on her own track.
Robyn's decision to create an album centered around sex and intimacy is part of her artistic journey back to itself after years of creative drought. When asked in a statement what drives this new work, Robyn revealed that it all boils down to one thing: staying horny - not just about sex but the essence of feeling sensual, attracted to experiences she enjoys. This realization is both liberating and disquieting, echoing her long-standing exploration of themes like desire and vulnerability.
In 'Sexistential', we're witnessing a re-emergence of an artist who's never shied away from uncharted territory, even when it sparks debate or provokes discomfort. A new chapter awaits Robyn in the world of music, pushing us to engage with the complexities of pleasure, intimacy, and our alluring desires.
The title track "Sexistential" is set to be performed live on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert later this week, as fans eagerly await the release of 'Sexistential' in various colors of vinyl.

interesting how Robyn is going for a provocative approach with her new album 'Sexistential'. She's always been unafraid to push boundaries and now she's doing it with sex and intimacy as her main focus. I love how she's embracing her sensuality and desires, it's like she's finally found herself after years of creative drought

I love how she's tackling topics like intimacy and technology in a way that's both haunting and liberating.
it's like she's speaking my language lol. i feel like staying horny is a universal goal, am i right? 
and that you're exploring desire & vulnerability is so on point! i've been following her journey back to creativity and it's amazing to see her pushing boundaries again 
. I mean, she's always been a bit provocative in her music, but this seems like a really honest and personal exploration of desire and vulnerability 
. It's not every day you hear someone say they feel like the purpose of their life is to stay horny 
. But seriously, it's refreshing to see an artist who's unapologetic about their desires and willing to push boundaries in their work 
. I'm definitely intrigued by this new album and can't wait to give 'Sexistential' a listen 
. The fact that she's tackling topics like IVF and modern dating also shows me that Robyn is still interested in exploring the complexities of human experience 
.
can't wait to see her perform it live on stephen colbert! i love how robyn is embracing her sensuality and desire for pleasure - we need more artists like her who are unapologetically themselves 
her music always makes me feel something deep, and this new album is already promising to be a wild ride 
bring it on march 27!!
. Like, I get it, she's been gone for a minute and we missed her, but does she have to make an entire album about sex now? It feels like the whole world has turned into one big, never-ending Tinder date 
. And don't even get me started on the title track - "Sexistential"? More like " Sex Exhausts Me" if you ask me 
.
. She's always been known for pushing boundaries, but is this really the most provocative thing she can come up with? It just feels like she's trying too hard to be edgy and cool 
?
.
. I love how she's embracing her sensuality and not apologizing for it - it's like she's saying, "Hey, I'm still here and I'm still horny 
. Robyn is unapologetically herself and that's something we can all learn from 
. Bring on March 27th - I'm ready to dive into this album and explore all the complexities of sex, intimacy, and pleasure 
.
. for me, robyn's music has always been about exploring those deeper feelings and sensations, but this new album feels like a more personal and introspective journey 
. she's not just writing about sex, she's writing about the essence of feeling alive and connected to herself and others 
. can't wait to dive into this album and see where she takes us on this sonic journey 
!
. Bring on March 27! 
she's always been an icon to me and i'm so excited to see what she's got in store now. btw have you seen the title track video? 
As a nostalgic, I love that she's finding her voice again after a long hiatus, but some of these tracks are gonna be super uncomfortable for me... like in a good way? Maybe it's because Robyn's one of those artists who can make you feel like you're doing something wrong just by listening to her music 
. Can't wait for March 27th to drop! 
Let's get ready for some bold music that'll make us think and feel things. March 27 can't come soon enough!
