FKA Twigs, the genre-bending artist known for her ethereal and experimental music, is set to release her highly anticipated third studio album, EUSEXUA, on January 24, 2025, through Young Recordings. Drawing from her experiences and inspirations in underground techno scenes, the album promises to transport listeners into a state of transcendence, embracing themes of unity, sensuality, and personal freedom. The term “Eusexua” reflects moments of transcendence and bliss, which Twigs explores through her signature blend of electronic, R&B, and avant-garde sounds, continuing the bold musical journey she began with LP1 and Magdalene.
This new album comes after Twigs’ critically acclaimed mixtape Caprisongs, which saw her collaborate with artists like The Weeknd and Shygirl. On EUSEXUA, FKA Twigs takes her genre-defying sound to new heights, expanding her sonic palette with fresh ideas inspired by her late-night explorations in Prague’s underground techno culture. The album promises an immersive experience where art, music, and emotion converge, continuing her trend of pushing boundaries and redefining expectations of what contemporary music can be. Known for her ability to blend futuristic beats with intimate, emotive vocals, FKA Twigs cites influences from both modern electronic artists like Arca and legends such as Björk.
What sets EUSEXUA apart from previous works is Twigs’ deep dive into the immersive nature of live performance and human connection. This time, she fuses the spiritual and the physical, creating soundscapes that mimic the euphoric moments found on the dance floor. With a diverse background in ballet, opera, and performance art, Twigs continues to draw from these roots, delivering tracks that are both sonically rich and deeply theatrical. Just as she pushed the boundaries of R&B with Magdalene, here she crafts a new musical language that resonates with listeners on an almost primal level. As with previous releases, Twigs worked with boundary-pushing producers such as Koreless, while also aligning with new talents to capture the raw, visceral energy she seeks to evoke.
EUSEXUA comes at a time when FKA Twigs is solidifying her place as a leading figure in avant-garde music. Like her contemporaries, such as Janelle Monáe and Solange, Twigs uses her platform to challenge norms and expectations, both musically and culturally. As with earlier works like Magdalene, which featured collaborations with artists such as Future, EUSEXUA promises unexpected pairings and dynamic compositions that fuse together various styles, from industrial to trip-hop. Fans of her previous releases can expect the same intricate layering of sounds but with an elevated sense of purpose, firmly rooting Twigs as one of the most innovative artists of her generation.
