FKA twigs Announces New Album “EUSEXUA”, Premieres Title Track “Eusexua” on BBC Radio 1
British singer-songwriter FKA twigs has announced her upcoming third studio album “EUSEXUA” will be released on January 24, 2025 via Young and Atlantic Records.
As the album, this marks her first album in six years since the 2019 album “Magdalene” and comprises a 11-track.
As the project, it is her first project in three years since the 2022 mixtape “Caprisongs”.
FKA twigs said of the album, “EUSEXUA has been my practice for the years that it has been in creation. It is my opus and truly feels like a pin at the centre of the core of my artist. EUSEXUA was birthed in chicken scratch, written on the back of my hand in a toilet at a rave in Prague, 'this room of fools WE MAKE SOMETHING TOGETHER' and we do. We rave, we sweat, we kiss, we make love to the booming thud of culture. EUSEXUA is a practice. EUSEXUA is a state of being. EUSEXUA is the pinnacle of human experience.”- From the album, she premiered the title track “Eusexua” on BBC Radio 1's New Music Show with Jack Saunders.
The track was written by Alexandra Drewchin, Ethan P. Flynn, FKA twigs, and Lewis Roberts, Produced by Koreless, FKA twigs, and Eartheater.
The accompanying music video was directed by Jordan Hemingway.
FKA twigs told Jack Saunders about the song, “I spent a few months living in Prague a couple of years ago, and I really discovered the underground techno scene there. And it was just incredible. I was like driving an hour to the middle of nowhere, to the side of a motorway, thinking, surely, nothing exists there. And then through the fog, I just would hear the four full beat of the dance music. So I found Prague incredibly inspiring. And through that, I've just kind of been on the hunt to feel that feeling that I feel I call you Eusexu over and over again, over the past couple of years.” -
FKA twigs told Rolling Stone about the album, “I describe Eusexua as a pinnacle of human experience. It’s what I hope the Movers are feeling right now in that room. It’s the feeling of dancing all night and losing hours to the beat. It’s the feeling of having a great idea and the moment, just before a brilliant idea. That moment of complete clarity before you have the idea.”
She continued, “There’s a lot of writers in here today and when I write songs sometimes, I’m trying to think of what I want to say and I can’t get it out. You get that moment where you think it’s not going to happen and then ping! All of a sudden, you can write a whole page in 10 minutes. That’s Eusexua.”
She added, “I describe it as being like the moment before an orgasm. A moment of nothingness. It’s just a pinnacle of human experience and in this busy world that’s what I feel like I missed.” - source : BBC Radio 1
