Robyn meditates on horniness and doom with synths in new album Sexistential
Robyn re-enters the conversation with Sexistential, her forthcoming album and first since 2018’s Honey, stirring the waters of synth-pop introspection and erotic inquiry. She teases the project with two tracks—“Can’t Get Enough” and “To the Moon”—both hinting at the interplay between desire and existential fatigue.
In her own words, she claims her life’s mission is “to stay horny,” delivering this manifesto not with bravado but with a wink, threading sensuality and satire through strobing rhythms and icy beats.
