Synth-pop emergency! Robyn stopped by BBC Radio 2 earlier today, July 15, for a quick performance, during which she busted out a cover of Erasure’s 1994 classic “Always.” She also played three songs from her most recent album, Sexistential: “Dopamine,” “Sucker For Love,” and “Talk to Me.” Watch it all go down below.
The session accompanied Robyn’s appearance in a BBC Radio 6 Music Artist in Residence: AAA film, which is now available to view on iPlayer and BBC Radio 6 Music’s YouTube channel. In the mini-documentary, Robyn chats with Metronomy founder Joseph Mount about Sexistential, detailing her creative process and breaking down how early demos evolved into the final LP.
Robyn is currently in the midst of the European leg of an arena tour in support of Sexistential. She’ll bring the run to North America this fall, stopping in cities including New York, Chicago, and Toronto. Earlier this year, she also released an alternate version of her 2002 single “Blow My Mind,” with new lyrics dedicated to her three-year-old son.
