FKA Twigs has never been one to play by the rules. Since her 2014 debut LP1, the British artist has consistently pushed the boundaries of music, art, and performance, crafting a sonic universe that is as hauntingly beautiful as it is deeply personal. With her latest album, Eusexua, Twigs takes her artistry to new heights, delivering a record that is both a cathartic release and a celebration of self-discovery.

Released on January 24, 2025, Eusexua (pronounced yoo-SEK-shoo-ah) is a term coined by Twigs herself, blending the Greek words for “true” and “desire.” The album is a sprawling, 14-track odyssey that weaves together elements of electronic, R&B, classical, and even flamenco music, creating a soundscape that feels both futuristic and timeless. But more than anything, Eusexua is a deeply introspective work, with Twigs laying bare her struggles with love, identity, and the scars of her past.

“Eusexua is about finding the courage to be vulnerable,” Twigs explains in an exclusive interview with Rolling Stone. “It’s about embracing every part of yourself—the light and the dark—and realizing that true strength comes from authenticity.”

The album opens with “Eclipse,” a haunting ballad that sets the tone for the journey ahead. Over a sparse piano melody and ethereal harmonies, Twigs sings of heartbreak and rebirth, her voice trembling with raw emotion. From there, the album takes listeners on a whirlwind tour of Twigs’ psyche, from the pulsating beats of “Skinless” to the hypnotic rhythms of “Crimson Tide.”

One of the standout tracks is “Venus in Retrograde,” a collaboration with Spanish flamenco guitarist Paco de Lucía Jr. The song is a fiery blend of twangy guitars and electronic beats, with Twigs’ vocals soaring over the mix like a siren’s call. It’s a bold fusion of genres, and yet it feels perfectly at home in the world of Eusexua.

But perhaps the most poignant moment on the album comes with “Mirror, Mirror,” a stripped-down ballad that finds Twigs confronting her own reflection—both literally and metaphorically. “I used to hate what I saw in the mirror,” she admits. “But now I see strength. I see resilience. I see beauty.”

Eusexua is not just an album; it’s a statement. It’s a reminder that vulnerability is not a weakness, but a source of power. And it’s a testament to FKA Twigs’ unparalleled ability to turn pain into art.

As the final notes of the closing track, “Phoenix,” fade away, one thing is clear: FKA Twigs has once again proven herself to be one of the most innovative and fearless artists of our time. With Eusexua, she has not only raised the bar for herself but for the entire music industry.

Eusexua is available now on all streaming platforms.
