Robyn Gets Sentimental With New Remdition of 2002 Hit “Blow My Mind”

Ahead of her album Sexistential, out March 27, the Swedish pop icon revisits her discography with a new self-cover dedicated to her son
This week, Robyn tapped into nostalgia, unveiling the fourth and final single from her upcoming album: a punchy reworking of “Blow My Mind” from her 2002 album Don’t Stop the Music, now dedicated to her three-year-old son.
“I was in that early stage when I was with him all the time, and something about that closeness opened the song up to me again,” the singer says. “Listening back to the original, I thought, ‘ I think it’s one of the best songs I ever recorded, and I’m just gonna do it again.’ I rewrote the lyrics, and I love this version’s rawness. It’s not cute because it’s not cute with children. They’re cute, but the experience isn’t. It’s very punk.”

It’s not often you get to watch one of the musical greats successfully come back, nor come home. In real time, Robyn is doing both. For the first time in eight years, the Swedish pop-sensation is returning with a new album, Sexistential, releasing on March 27th. The highly anticipated record is set to be brazenly vulnerable, electric, and a bit nostalgic—co-produced with Klas Åhlund, her longtime production collaborator since 2005, and co-written in a reunion with Max Martin.
Originally an in-joke, the album’s title soon proved to say everything she wanted it to. “Exploring my sensual life is the same feeling as when I make a good song,” she explains. “It’s such a beautiful kind of sensitive vibration that takes so much work to keep afloat. I feel like the purpose of my life is to stay horny—it doesn’t even have to be about sex, but it’s feeling sensual and attracted to things that I enjoy, and not letting anything take over that.”

Beginning in June, Robyn will embark on her first major tour since 2019, kicking off in Ireland and wrapping in Australia. The tour will include some of her biggest ever headline shows, including London’s O2 Arena and three consecutive hometown nights at Stockholm’s Avicii Arena. She’ll also be joining Harry Styles in Amsterdam for ten nights as he celebrates his new record, Kiss All the Time, Disco Occasionally.
