Robyn returns to form
It’s been well over a decade since we’ve heard Robyn this bright and bubbly. “Talk to Me,” like the earlier (and sublime) “Dopamine,” returns her to the studio with Swedish super-producer Max Martin, and the resulting track — in both music and lyrics — traces an effervescent route from near-climax to thrilling release. The new album is called (awkwardly, beautifully) Sexistential, but the songs released so far suggest we’re about to get Body Talk Pt. 3.
