US EditionRobyn Releases ‘Dopamine,’ First New Song in 7 Years, About ‘Intense, Enjoyable or Painful’ Emotions
Robyn's new single critiques how modern culture decodes emotions via biology and explores embracing human feelings, marking her first solo release in seven years.
- On Nov. 12, Robyn released "Dopamine" via Jamie xx's Young label, her first new solo material since Honey, described as a soaring, sparkling dancefloor anthem.
- Robyn says everyone has a phone to see heart rate and decode emotions through hormones and chemical substances, framing Dopamine's `doubleness` as intense feeling and biological process without choosing religion or science.
- Made with longtime collaborator Klas Öhlund, the single features a striking video by Marili André and follows Robyn's recent surprise appearances with Charli XCX and Gracie Abrams.
- An industry insider told The Sun `Robyn has spent years working on this music and has been really inspired by loads of up-and-coming artists`, and industry reports say the single could presage a full album reportedly titled Sexistential.
- Following surprise appearances and collaborations, Robyn's return with 'Dopamine' is culturally significant for her devoted international fanbase, built over decades.
