Robyn

Robin Miriam Carlsson (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈrɔ̌bːɪn ˈkɑ̌ːɭsɔn]; born 12 June 1979), known professionally as Robyn (pronounced [ˈrɔ̌bːʏn]), is a Swedish pop singer, songwriter and producer. Musically, she is noted for performing upbeat dance-oriented songs that often feature melancholic lyrics, and has been called the "stateswoman of alt-pop" by The Guardian.

Her 1995 debut album Robyn Is Here produced two Billboard Hot 100 top 10 singles: "Do You Know (What It Takes)" and "Show Me Love". Her second and third albums, My Truth (1999) and Don't Stop the Music (2002), were released in Sweden. After forming her own label, Konichiwa Records, and becoming an independent artist, Robyn returned to international success with her fourth album, Robyn (2005). The album brought a Grammy Award nomination and spawned the singles "Be Mine!" and "With Every Heartbeat" – the latter of which topped the charts in the United Kingdom.

Robyn released a trilogy of mini-albums in 2010, with all parts culminating in her seventh studio album, Body Talk (2010). They received unanimous critical acclaim and three Grammy Award nominations, and produced three top-10 singles: "Dancing on My Own", "Hang with Me" and "Indestructible". The sleeper hit “Dancing on My Own” is often credited as her signature song and helped rejuvenate her career. Robyn followed this with two collaborative EPs: Do It Again (2014) with Röyksopp, and Love Is Free (2015) with La Bagatelle Magique. She followed this with her eighth solo album, Honey (2018) to widespread acclaim. After an extended hiatus of eight years, she released her ninth solo album, Sexistential (2026), which received critical acclaim and featured the top-ten single "Dopamine".
