Robyn has unveiled new single ‘Dopamine’, her first new music in over seven years, released today (13 November) via new label home Young.

For the track, the Swedish pop icon teamed up with longtime collaborator Klas Åhlund for one of the decade’s most anticipated comebacks.

On ‘Dopamine’ Robyn stakes a claim for staying connected to the mysteriousness of desire. “Everyone has a phone where they see their heart rate, and we’re learning how to decode our emotions through the hormones and chemical substances in our bodies,” she says. “It’s almost like we don’t even accept that we’re human anymore, like we’re trying to shoot ourselves out of it and explain every single thing – which I think is great, but that’s also why the world is shit, this idea that you can figure out and win life or something. The doubleness of Dopamine is having an emotion that is super real, super strong, intense, enjoyable or painful, and at the same time knowing that this is just a biological process in my body—and then not to choose religion or science. To just accept that they’re there together and to be able to go in between.”

The single is accompanied by a stunning performance video starring Robyn by acclaimed photographer Marili Andre, who also shot the ‘Dopamine’ cover artwork.
