Loaded Album of the week
By Fred Spanner
Robyn: Sexistential ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Robyn sounds like she’s having the time of her life dissecting love, lust, and identity, and you’re dragged along for the ride, whether you’re ready or not.
This is pop music with a pulse and a PhD, all throbbing basslines, icy synths, and late-night existential spirals. It’s slick, sweaty, and a bit unhinged: exactly what we want right now.
Every track feels like a neon-lit confession, equal parts heartbreak and hedonism, with great hooks.
What really seals it is the attitude. Sexistential is sharp, self-aware, and just the right amount of confrontational.
It’s the kind of album that makes most chart pop feel like it’s still in nappies. Five stars, no argument: this is big, brainy, and brilliant pop.
