Jamie xx remixes Robyn’s ‘Dopamine’ in rare new release: Listen
Jamie xx returns with his first remix in three years, reworking Robyn’s comeback single ‘Dopamine’ into a hypnotic, club-focused journey. Although the original marked Robyn’s first solo single in more than seven years, Jamie’s reimagined version now gives the track a new life on dancefloors with his signature finesse.
Speaking about the project, Jamie xx said: I had a blast making this remix… Looking forward to playing it on some dance floors v soon. His interpretation amplifies the emotion and tension already baked into the original, pushing Robyn’s vocals into a deeper, more immersive space.
Released on 12 November via Young, ‘Dopamine’ reunited Robyn with longtime collaborator Klas Åhlund, instantly setting off one of the most anticipated pop returns in recent memory. Moreover, the track captures the chemical rush of early desire — that blurred moment when feeling and biology collide — with a pulsating, euphoric production that fits her unmistakable delivery.
The single quickly earned major acclaim. The Face called it an addictive rush of arena-ready pop, while The Guardian highlighted its complexity and emotional depth. Additionally, Pitchfork praised the arc of hesitancy and release in Robyn’s vocal performance, noting how her phrasing remains unmatched.
Beyond the studio, Robyn has fueled excitement with a string of high-demand shows, including an intimate night at the Fonda Theater in Los Angeles and a sold-out New Year’s Eve performance at Brooklyn Paramount. Furthermore, her appearances alongside Charli xcx, David Byrne, Gracie Abrams, and Yung Lean reinforce her cultural influence across pop, electronic music, and fashion.
Now, with Jamie xx reshaping ‘Dopamine’, the momentum behind Robyn’s return surges once again – and the remix signals a thrilling new chapter for both artists.
