Robyn, born Robin Carlsson in Stockholm in 1979, has built a career on songs you can dance to while your heart is quietly breaking: bright, upbeat pop with melancholy running underneath. Her debut, Robyn Is Here, arrived in 1995 and sent "Do You Know (What It Takes)" and "Show Me Love" into the Billboard top 10, and My Truth and Don't Stop the Music followed at home in Sweden.
Then she took control. She set up her own label, Konichiwa Records, went independent, and came back in 2005 with Robyn, which earned a Grammy nomination and gave her a UK chart-topper in "With Every Heartbeat" alongside "Be Mine!". The real triumph came in 2010, when she spread a trilogy of mini-albums across the year and gathered them into Body Talk. "Dancing On My Own" is the one that lasts, a slow-burning hit that became her signature and put her career back on the front foot, all pulsing synths and a voice that refuses to crack; "Hang with Me", "Indestructible", "Call Your Girlfriend" and the defiantly titled "Don't Fucking Tell Me What to Do" sharpened the same blade.
Collaborations with Röyksopp and La Bagatelle Magique followed, then Honey in 2018, with the aching pulse of "Missing U", and the Nordic Music Prize in 2019. After an eight-year break, Sexistential arrived in 2026.
