After channelling the club on 2018's Honey, Robyn's new record was designed to feel "like a spaceship coming through the atmosphere at a really high speed and crash landing," she explains, linking back more to her Body Talk trilogy from 2010. “That’s how I felt, like I’d had all these experiences searching too far out into space, and now I’m crashing back into myself," she added.
A co-production with longtime collaborator Klas Åhlund – who worked on a handful of tracks on Honey – Sexistential also features Max Martin as a co-writer on "Talk to Me", which she premiered live during her New Year's Eve show in Brooklyn along with the record's title track. It's the first time the pair have worked together since 2010’s “Time Machine”. Both tracks are also officially released today.
The album’s title came from a realisation: "I feel like the purpose of my life is to stay horny," states Robyn. “Exploring my sensual life is the same feeling as when I make a good song. It’s such a beautiful kind of sensitive vibration that takes so much work to keep afloat.... 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."
