Following a play as Annie Mac’s Hottest Record on BBC Radio One, the nearly-mythical title track and new single from Robyn's forthcoming album 'Honey', out on October 26th, is available.
The song 'Honey' has been the linchpin to making the album of the same name. In late 2016, Lena Dunham contacted Robyn and asked if she would consider creating a song specifically for the show’s final season. Already working on new music, she agreed, and sent some ideas to Dunham. She picked a song, and the first incarnation of 'Honey' was introduced to the world.
Fellow UMPG writer Markus Jägerstedt collaborated on the track.
Over the next two years, Robyn experimented with softer sounds and ideas and brought in Metronomy’s Joseph Mount. She also worked with long-time collaborator Klas Åhlund, Adam Bainbridge (a.k.a. Kindness), Mr. Tophat and Zhala, putting it all together in studios in Stockholm, London, Paris, New York and Ibiza.
According to Robyn, the album is:
"this sweet place, like a very soft ecstasy. Something that’s so sensual, and so good. I danced a lot when I was making it. I found a sensuality and a softness that I don’t think I was able to use in the same way before. Everything just became softer."
Robyn will also make a secret gig on October 27th in collaboration with Red Bull. The location is a secret and the only way to get tickets is through a game...
"Come get your Honey! This is your chance to get two tickets to the premiere show of my new album. No buying - just playing. Ps. Collaboration/helpfulness will get you further in the game (and life)."
