Robyn debuted songs from her new album ‘Sexistential’ at an intimate show in London last night (Thursday March 26), and treated the crowd to some classic bangers. See footage and the setlist below.
The Swedish pop icon played a one-off gig at the Hackney Empire in the capital to launch her long-awaited new record, which was released today (Friday March 27) as the follow-up to 2018’s ‘Honey’.
She ran through a 21-song set, kicking off with the first live outing of ‘Sucker For Love’ from her ninth LP, per Setlist.FM. Later, Robyn aired recent singles ‘Talk To Me’, ‘Blow My Mind’ and ‘Dopamine’, as well as the ‘Sexistential’ title track.
There were also live debuts for ‘Really Real’, ‘It Don’t Mean A Thing’ and ‘Light Up’ from her latest full-length effort.
Robyn showcased numerous fan favourites from her back catalogue, too. These included the global smash hit and NME‘s Number One song of the 2010s, ‘Dancing On My Own’, as the final track of the encore, and ‘Call Your Girlfriend’.
Earlier, the former NME songwriter of the decade played ‘With Every Heartbeat’, ‘Be Mine!’, ‘Hang With Me’ and ‘Don’t Fucking Tell Me What To Do’. Her 2018 album, meanwhile, was represented by the ‘Honey’ title track, along with ‘Ever Again’, ‘Missing U’ and ‘Between The Lines’.
She performed her 2024 Jamie xx collaboration, ‘Life’, as well, among other cuts. See a selection of fan-shot videos from the show here:
