As Madonna announced her reunion with English producer Stuart Price on a follow up to 2005’s genius Confessions on a Dancefloor – the pair are pictured together from a recent Insta post – Swedish pop icon and LGBTQ+ trailblazer Robyn is also poised to make a long-anticipated return to music with a new album reportedly completed and ready for release. This revelation came from her longtime collaborator, Klas Åhlund, during a recent appearance on the Nordmark Pod. Åhlund expressed his pride and excitement about finishing the project, though he refrained from offering further details. The news has sparked considerable enthusiasm online, with fans eagerly awaiting what promises to be a significant addition to her discography.
Robyn’s upcoming album will mark her first full-length release since Honey in 2018, which followed the groundbreaking 2010 Body Talk—an era-defining work widely celebrated for its emotional depth and electronic innovation. The timing of this album aligns with a series of recent steps that signal a Robyn renaissance. Notably, she is set to release a 20th-anniversary special edition of her self-titled 2005 album, pressed on limited-edition “coke bottle-clear” vinyl. This reissue, situated between her past milestones and future projects, underscores her enduring impact on modern pop music.
Recognised for hits like Call Your Girlfriend and the anthemic Dancing On My Own, Robyn’s influence has long resonated within both pop culture and the queer community. Her work has inspired reinterpretations, such as British singer Calum Scott’s renowned cover of Dancing On My Own, which achieved global commercial success and added a fresh, queer perspective to the song. Over recent years, Robyn has gradually re-emerged in the public eye through collaborations with leading artists like Charli XCX and Jamie xx, as well as notable live performances including the SNL 50 concert alongside David Byrne.
