Robyn – Blow My Mind
Generational pop icon Robyn today releases her new single “Blow My Mind,” the fourth song from her anticipated album Sexistential.
Produced by Klas Åhlund, it’s a tricked-out redux of “Blow My Mind” from Robyn’s 2002 Don’t Stop The Music album, rewritten in tribute to her three year old son. “‘Blow My Mind’ is the one song on the album about my son.” she says. “I was in that early stage when I was with him all the time, and something about that closeness opened the song up to me again. Listening back to the original I thought, ‘ I think it’s one of the best songs I ever recorded, and I’m just gonna do it again.’ I rewrote the lyrics and I love this version’s rawness. It’s not cute, because it’s not cute with children. They’re cute, but the experience isn’t. It’s very punk.”
Released via Young on March 27th, Sexistential is the most ecstatic record that Robyn has ever made, the sound of one of contemporary music’s most influential artists coming home.
After the club music meditations of 2018’s Honey, the album features nine, deeply playful pop songs that tie back to her era-defining Body Talk trilogy, designed to feel “like a spaceship coming through the atmosphere at a really high speed and crash landing”, she says. “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.”
Co-produced with longtime production collaborator Klas Åhlund, and reuniting her with Max Martin for their first co-writes since 2010, Sexistential is emphatic and punchy, defiant about both emotional and biological pleasure, need and softness. The album’s title started life as an in-joke before she realised it said everything she wanted to say. “Exploring my sensual life is the same feeling as when I make a good song,” she explains. “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.” Robyn recently further explored these themes in cover features with The Face and The Cut (where she fielded questions from the likes of Carly Rae Jepsen, Esther Perel, Charli xcx, Troye Sivan and more).
Robyn also recently announced The Sexistential Tour, taking place in arenas across Europe, North America, and Australia. It’s Robyn’s first major tour since 2019 and will feature her biggest ever headline shows, including London’s 20,000 capacity O2 Arena and three consecutive hometown nights at Stockholm’s Avicii Arena. She’ll be joined by an exciting lineup of special guest openers including Erika de Casier (Dublin, Paris), Smerz (Glasgow, Brussels, Stockholm), 808 State (Manchester), Saya Gray (London), Mechatok (Berlin), Romy (Copenhagen, Oslo, New York), Zhala (Manchester, Berlin, Stockholm) and Becky and the Birds in Stockholm. In North America, dates will also spotlight Nourished By Time (Washington, DC), Peaches (Chicago), Grace Ives (Toronto), Lykke Li (Mexico City), and horsegiirL (Los Angeles), bringing together a mix of boundary-pushing artists who are both friends of Robyn and among the voices that inspire her.
