Pop kids, Queen Robyn has returned at long last with “Dopamine,” her first new solo single in some seven years.
“Everyone has a phone where they see their heart rate, and we’re learning how to decode our emotions through the hormones and chemical substances in our bodies,” Robyn says of “Dopamine.” “It’s almost like we don’t even accept that we’re human anymore, like we’re trying to shoot ourselves out of it and explain every single thing – which I think is great, but that’s also why the world is shit, this idea that you can figure out and win life or something. The doubleness of Dopamine is having an emotion that is super real, super strong, intense, enjoyable or painful, and at the same time knowing that this is just a biological process in my body—and then not to choose religion or science. To just accept that they’re there together and to be able to go in between.”
Robyn’s last album came in 2018 with the “lovely but brutal” Honey. Since then, the Swedish songstress has made a series of sporadic appearances and other collaborative releases. That includes appearing with David Byrne during the SNL 50th anniversary concert; teaming with Jamie XX for 2024’s “Life” (including subsequent performances in Copenhagen and at Glastonbury Festival); and duets with both Neneh Cherry and Smile in 2022 and 2021, respectively.
