The Swedish pop icon and NME Songwriter Of The Decade winner hasn’t released an album since 2018’s critically acclaimed ‘Honey‘, but speculation about her imminent return was fuelled in September when her longtime collaborator, Klas Åhlund, appeared on the Nordmark Pod and said he had “just finished a new Robyn album that’s coming out”.
The House passed a government funding package late Wednesday that will close out the longest shutdown in history.
Members returned to Washington after a 54-day recess to vote on the shutdown-ending bill brokered across party lines in the Senate. They voted 222-209, with just a handful of Democrats breaking with their leadership to get the measure over the finish line.
President Donald Trump then signed the measure into law later in the evening, setting up federal operations to resume Thursday morning.
The package includes a three-bill “minibus” of full-year funding for the Department of Agriculture and the FDA, the Department of Veterans Affairs and military construction projects and the operations of Congress. The trio of bills is the result of months of bipartisan, bicameral negotiations between top appropriators.

Cody Kociemba, the developer behind the Hack/House collaborative project, is waging war against Google. The tech giant recently decided to discontinue the first two generations of its Nest Thermostat, stripping the devices of much of their original functionality. Thanks to Kociemba’s hacking efforts, Nest customers now have an alternative path to restoring the features Google removed.
