Robyn Makes Tiny Desk Concert Debut: Watch

Robyn stopped by the NPR office to perform her first-ever Tiny Desk Concert .

The four-song set featured selections from across Robyn’s catalog. She kicked things off with a lovely performance of “Ever Again,” a highlight from her 2018 album Honey . She continued with “Light Up,” the closing track off her newest project, this year’s excellent Sexistential .

After “Light Up,” Robyn slowed things down for a sparse, ballad-esque rendition of her breakout hit, “Show Me Love.” “This is my wonderful band, and we’re on tour right now, we do this song in the set, and it’s special for me to play it here,” she said while introducing the song. “For me, this is where it all started, in a way.” Ditching percussion almost entirely, Robyn gave “Show Me Love” a soulful rework that brought a wistful, reflective quality to the set.

She then geared up for her final song, Sexistential ‘s “Sucker for Love,” and offered a short anecdote explaining her half-shorts, half-jeans look: “I had to cut one leg off of my jeans because my son threw up on me while we were driving,” Robyn said. With a drum machine keeping the momentum and some warm synths coloring the atmosphere, Robyn closed out her Tiny Desk Concert with a sugary high. Watch the full concert below.

Robyn returned this year with Sexistential , her first album in eight years. We named the album one of the best of 2026 so far , and hailed the song “Talk to Me” as one of the best tracks of the year . Robyn is also set to make her return to Coachella after 16 years next spring.
