Listen to this: Robyn releases her first new song in nearly a decade
Queer icon Robyn has released her first new single in almost a decade.
The song “Missing U” is her first release as a solo artist since her “Body Talk” album in 2010. The track was written with Joseph Mount and long-time collaborator Klas Åhlund and recorded in Paris and Stockholm.
“’Missing U’ is a song about this trippy thing that happens when people disappear,” the Swedish hit maker said in a statement. “It’s like they become even more clear and you see them everywhere.”
Reviewers are already praising the new track, with Pitchfork calling it “a song so fundamentally her, it almost makes you forget how long she left us wanting more.”
Robyn
sat down with BBC Radio 1’s Annie Mac yesterday to discuss her upcoming
new album. She said it will have “a
sensuality and a softness to it that maybe wasn’t there before. When I
wrote this album, I was quite tired of myself writing sad love songs...
but then I did anyway."
"Looking back at that now, it's OK to be sad," the singer later added. “Combining it with something bright and strong and powerful is finding your way out of it too.”
