Friday Flash(back) - Robyn - Sexistential

Sexistential is the ninth studio album by the Swedish pop queen Robyn.

Also this is the finale 2026's first season of the Friday Flash(back).

The album was supported by singles Dopamine, the double A-sides Sexistential + Talk to Me, along with Blow My Mind. 

She began to work with Swedish producer Klas Åhlund to provide a sound that would be reminiscent of her previous project, Body Talk (2010) trilogy. 

Robyn described Sexistential like a spacecraft crash-landing through the atmosphere at a really high speed, saying she felt like she had experienced exploring space too far, and now she was colliding with herself again.

Robin Miriam Carlsson, otherwise known (like Kylie) as just Robyn.

Robyn's 1995 debut album Robyn Is Here produced two Billboard Hot 100 top 10 singles: Do You Know (What It Takes) & Show Me Love. Her second and third albums, My Truth (1999) and Don't Stop the Music (2002), were released in Sweden.

Robyn returned to international success with her fourth album, Robyn (2005), which brought a Grammy Award nomination. The album spawned the singles Be Mine! & With Every Heartbeat – the latter of which topped the charts in the United Kingdom. 

Robyn released a trilogy of mini-albums in 2010, known as the Body Talk series. They received broad critical praise and three Grammy Award nominations, and produced three top-10 singles: Dancing On My Own, Hang with Me & Indestructible. 

The sleeper hit Dancing On My Own is often credited as her signature song and helped rejuvenate her career. Robyn followed this with two collaborative EPs: Do It Again (2014) with Röyksopp, and Love Is Free (2015) with La Bagatelle Magique. 

She released her eighth solo album, Honey, in 2018 to widespread acclaim.

The Friday Flash(back) will be back later in the year. Expect updates throughout autumn. That's if it ever comes. This summer if hectic!
