Everyone has a phone where they can see their heart rate, and we are learning to decipher our emotions through the hormones and chemicals in our bodies. It's almost like we don't accept that we're human anymore, like we're trying to get out of it and explain absolutely everything—which I think is great, but it's also why the world is fucked up, this idea that you can figure out and win at life or something. The duality of 'Dopamine' is having an emotion that is super real, super strong, intense, pleasurable or painful, and at the same time knowing that this is just a biological process in my body—and then not choosing between religion or science. Simply accept that they are both there together and be able to move between them,” the artist explained in a press release.
During the last years, Robyn has remained present through collaborations with SG Lewis, Jónsi of Sigur Ros, Neneh Cherry, Jamie xx and Yung Leanreaffirming his position as one of the most influential figures in contemporary alternative pop.
With “Dopamine”, Robyn opens a new chapter in her story: one that promises to reconnect emotion and the dance floor with the intensity that only she knows how to transmit.
