What the press is saying about EUSEXUA:
“On Eusexua, though, the focus is complete freedom and impulse, [twigs] recharges and transforms, becoming stronger and at times even unrecognizable. Hearing such a transformation is all the more powerful, given how vulnerable she’s been in the past.” Rolling Stone
“Twigs’ third album brings club music into her sensual, supernatural world. It’s a masterful pop-star moment for the artist.” Pitchfork, Best New Music
“Eusexua” tests how much she can remain herself within pop’s constraints. The answer: quite a bit. The New York Times, Critic’s Pick
“FKA twigs has become one of the music industry’s foremost iconoclasts, blurring the lines between singer, dancer, producer, visual artist, collaborator, actor, spokesperson, and activist.” The FADER
"FKA twigs' third full-length is a triumph" Consequence
“An astonishing, delicate take on techno.” NME, The 50 Best Songs of 2024
“rarely has movement been prioritized so squarely in her music, and delivered so effectively” Billboard, 100 Best Songs of 2024
“she has engineered a kind of euphoria that's difficult to touch, and even harder to hold.” Resident Advisor

(November 7, 2025) - As she prepares for the release of her fourth studio album, FKA twigs earns a Grammy nomination for her critically acclaimed album, EUSEXUA. Released in late January via Atlantic Records/Young Recordings, EUSEXUA is a love letter to the techno rave scene and how it can initiate change from within. The album title is a word of her own making, which she defined as the “moment before an orgasm: pure nothingness but also pure focus in a state of eusexua. That’s kind of the way I want to live my life right now,” in her April 2024 cover story for British Vogue.
EUSEXUA was executive produced by twigs herself alongside longtime collaborator Koreless and features additional production from Dylan Brady, Eartheater, Ethan P Flynn, G-Dragon, Jeff Bhasker and Nicolas Jaar, among others. It contains her previously released singles “Eusexua,” “Perfect Stranger,” “Drums of Death,” “Striptease,” and “Childlike Things.”
Upon its release in mid-January, EUSEXUA received rave reviews from outlets such as Rolling Stone, Billboard, Vulture, Variety, NME, and received a Best New Music stamp from Pitchfork and a Critic’s Pick from The New York Times. It has been included in several midyear roundups from Consequence, which described EUSEXUA as “a triumph,” Rolling Stone, Variety, NPR, Vulture, Harper’s Bazaar, Stereogum, Paste Magazine, and more.
FKA twigs is now preparing for the release of EUSEXUA Afterglow due next week. Initially conceived as a deluxe album to EUSEXUA, Afterglow has now evolved into a full-fledged body of work, with an entirely new tracklist set. Afterglow sees twigs expands on the feelings that come after experiencing EUSEXUA, transmuting them into a soundtrack for the hours after the rave and extending that high into the afters. It is the experience of having left the rave but still feeling the pulse of the music and the euphoria of movement still inside you even though you have physically left that space. Afterglow is a record steeped in the reverence of techno, but the beats now are fractured and derelict, and playful most importantly. Afterglow is the culmination of all the skills that FKA twigs has developed across her acclaimed catalog — the adoration of the dancefloor evident across EUSEXUA, the playful hooks of CAPRISONGS, the vulnerability of MAGDALENE, the sensuality of LP1 and the waviness or her earliest EPs.
Listen to EUSEXUA and pre-save/order EUSEXUA Afterglow above and stay tuned for more from FKA twigs coming very soon. |
