New Sounds: Robyn gets ‘Sexistential’ on the dance floor

We’re just a few days into 2026, and Robyn is already set up to own the year ahead. And boy, do we need her. The Swedish alt-pop queen rang in the New Year with a raucous party in Brooklyn, where she debuted new music and regaled us with the classics over an 18-song set, and her unbreakable electro-pop bop “Hang With Me” is featured prominently in Netflix’s new rom-dram People We Meet on Vacation (we simply stan Emily Bader forever and ever).

Now Robyn has unveiled word of new album Sexistential, out March 27 via Young, her first long-player since 2018’s Honey, and with the news comes two new bangers fit for various hours of the nightlife.

“Talk To Me” is classic modern-era Robyn, a party-starter with the same melodic euphoria of the Body Talk-era with a heavier dose of glittery beats n’ treats. The other is the album’s title track, a bass throbber fit for that break when night becomes morning and the dance floor’s still thumpin’.

Both tracks inform Sexistential in seductive ways, and here’s what Robyn has to say about that: “Exploring my sensual life is the same feeling as when I make a good song,” she says. “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.”

Whether in the club or on vacation, hang once again with Robyn below.
