Robyn debuted two new songs during a New Year’s Eve show in New York.
The Swedish pop icon performed at Brooklyn Paramount for a concert billed as “Robyn and friends,” which included sets from Kindness, Olof Dreijer, Danny Krivit and Dee Diggs.
Along with her well known hits, the show saw Robyn debut two new songs – ‘Talk To Me’ and ‘Sexistential’.
The former is an upbeat disco-pop song which sees NME Songwriter Of The Decade winner singing the lyrics: “Just hit me up and talk to me“.
The latter meanwhile, is a darker moodier track filled with heavy beats. You can listen to both below.

During the set, she also performed ‘Dancing On My Own’ and early hit ‘Show Me Love’.
She is due to perform at the same venue again tonight (January 2).
Earlier, Robyn performed in Times Square during Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper’s annual shindig, which saw her perform her recent single ‘Dopamine’.
It comes after she made her live return at the Fonda Theater in Hollywood, Los Angeles for her first full performance since 2019, in November 2025.
Robyn hasn’t released an album since 2018’s critically acclaimed ‘Honey‘, but speculation about her imminent return was fuelled last September when her longtime collaborator, Klas Åhlund, appeared on the Nordmark Pod and said he had “just finished a new Robyn album that’s coming out”.
She also recently previewed new music at Acne Studios’ show at Paris Fashion Week.
Her last studio effort ‘Honey’ was awarded four stars by NME, in a review that noted: “From an artist who conjures up so many lofty titles – pop genius being one of them – this is a record that takes an altogether different tack to cut through to the raw, complex tangle of emotion.”
In the years since the release of ‘Honey’, she’s appeared on a few tracks with other artists, including ‘Call My Name’, a 2021 collaboration with the Swedish duo Smile, and a remix of Charli XCX’s ‘360’ with Yung Lean in 2024.
Last year, she made a few live appearances, starting off by teaming up with David Byrne for a rendition of ‘Dancing On My Own’ at Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary concert, and later with Gracie Abrams at Lollapalooza.
In March 2025, she made a surprise appearance, joining Jamie xx on stage in Copenhagen for a live version of their track ‘Life’, which was released on his album ‘In Waves’ in 2024. She previously teamed up with him on the track at Glastonbury.
More recently Jamie xx also shared a trancey remix of ‘Dopamine’.
