FKA twigs’ EUSEXUA is an album that asks us to fully embody ourselves, be present in the moment, and disconnect from technology to find synthesis with those around us.
With her third studio album, EUSEXUA, FKA twigs (born Tahliah Barnett) takes listeners into a visceral world where art, music, and unity intertwine to evoke transcendence. And it looks to be her most ambitious project yet. EUSEXUA captures the raw, euphoric energy of moments spent lost in underground techno raves, weaving them into a world of sound that pushes the limits of pop, electronic, and experimental music.
Barnett describes EUSEXUA as more than an album, it's like a state of being. “Eusexua is the pinnacle of human experience,” she writes, “a feeling of momentary transcendence often evoked by art, music, sex, and unity.” The project, born from late-night inspiration scribbled on the back of her hand in a Prague rave, reflects her deep dive into the spaces where creativity and connection collide.
From the moment FKA twigs burst onto the scene with LP1 in 2014, she proved herself as a transformative artist. With her sophomore effort, MAGDALENE, she scaled operatic heights and mastered pole dancing, creating a body of work that was both physically and emotionally raw. Now, with EUSEXUA, she builds on that legacy, creating an experience that feels like both the culmination of her artistic evolution, and the beginning of something new.
On Twitter, Barnett described EUSEXUA as her “opus” and “a pin at the center of the core of my artist.” The album pulses with the heartbeat of underground culture - booming basslines, hypnotic rhythms, and the intimate connection of shared moments on the dancefloor. The title itself encapsulates this ethos. EUSEXUA is about transcending the ordinary and stepping into a realm of limitless possibility. It’s about sweat-soaked nights, euphoric highs, and the human connection that makes those moments unforgettable.
As an artist who has consistently redefined herself and her music, FKA twigs continues to challenge conventions with EUSEXUA. It’s a deeply personal and universal statement, one that encourages us all to seek out the pinnacle of our own human experience. For the artist, it’s clear that EUSEXUA is a roadmap of where we need to go, a call to live fully, and a reminder that in unity, we can find something extra special.
