EUSEXUA: FKA twigs’ Art of Transcendence
With EUSEXUA, FKA twigs delivers a genre-blurring, transcendent sonic experience that redefines human connection, blending club euphoria, avant-garde production, and deeply introspective themes into her most immersive project yet.
FKA twigs fine-tunes a new state of being.
FKA twigs’ new album isn’t just sound — it’s a heady concept of individuality, more installation than record: immersive, shifting, and built to change the body in motion.
The concept as artwork
Twigs coined the word “Eusexua” to describe a peak state of connection — not romance, not lust, but something harder to define. It’s philosophy disguised as pop. Each track becomes a panel in a larger series, testing whether sound can hold an experience that normally resists language.
Where fashion and music cross
It’s telling that the title track first appeared at Valentino’s Paris runway. That placement staged the song as both atmosphere and architecture — a sonic fabric woven into clothing, movement, and gaze. Like an installation, the song wasn’t background; it was environment.
Collage and transformation
The album itself works like collage. “Drums of Death” pulls in fragments of G-Dragon, while “Striptease” mutates mid-song from a trap-pop lull into a drum-and-bass storm. Each track shifts scale, as if the music is constantly repainting itself in front of us. The collaborators — Koreless, Yves Tumor, Nicolás Jaar, Eartheater — are not just guests but pigments in the palette.
The Prague imprint
Twigs’ time in Prague’s underground club scene saturates the record. The city’s pulse enters the album like texture, grounding its high-concept themes in something physical — bass that rattles the ribcage, rhythm that dissolves separation between bodies. It’s ritual pop with the pulse of the club, turned into communion.
EUSEXUA as installation
Listening to EUSEXUA is stepping into an immersive environment built out of sound. It asks whether transcendence can be crafted, rehearsed, shared. Like performance art, its impact isn’t just in the material (beats, vocals, production) but in what happens to the listener’s body and perception while inside it.
Twigs isn’t just releasing an album. She’s staging an intimate exhibition — one that blurs music, philosophy, and sensation into an art form you feel more than you explain.
