Robyn says she's releasing a new album this year, which is objectively the most exciting news of 2018 so far.

Replying to a fan on Twitter, Robyn revealed what we've all wanted to hear for nearly a decade: she's got a new album coming. And it's coming soon. We're unbelievably excited.

I do. Some time this year honey

Robyn hasn't officially released solo music in a long time (Body Talk was released in 2010), but earlier this year she contributed an impressive fragment of a track called "Honey" to the final season of HBO's Girls. Maybe it's a coincidence, but she refers to the fan as 'honey' - could it be a not-so-subtle title clue?

Robyn has had a surprisingly busy past few years - she guested on Metronomy's new record, spent time writing frontman Joe Mount, and rolled out the massive RMX/RBN series. She also played a handful of huge shows and spearheaded her own Tekla fest. In the (too many) years since Body Talk was released, the Swedish star has released music with the likes of La Bagatelle Magique, Mr. Tophat, Todd Rundgren, Kindness, and Röyksopp. She also released a Tack tour film and announced a reissue of Body Talk on vinyl (where is that?).
