Inspired by her recent move to Prague and the techno-scene, the eleven-song album includes creative, surprising outros and EDM beats to accompany her thoughtful lyrics. During a three-year music hiatus, the female artist has been busy experimenting with other art forms, including modelling and dancing, seen through her social media accounts. In 2020, she received a Brit nomination for Best Solo Female Artist and is now on her fourth studio album.
Announcing the album’s release on Instagram, FKA Twigs captured in her own words that EUSEXUA is a “practice”, “state of being” and “the pinnacle of human experience” and that it was “written on the back of … [her] hand in a toilet at a rave in prague”. In quite a poetic way, she describes the essence of the aesthetic and the philosophical thought behind it: “we rave, we sweat, we kiss, we make love to the booming thud of culture.”
In this techno-esque, alternative pop eleven-track creation, the lyrics offer thought-provoking messages put forward by the artist, as well as explorative sounds, making it an interesting listen. FKA Twigs collaborates with Koreless on 'Drums of Death' and North West, the 11-year old daughter of rapper Kanye West, in 'Childlike Things', where the young star is the voice of childhood imagination in a Japanese rap segment.
This up-beat compilation of sensual, pulsating sounds and meaningful lyrics is not just a chart-topping album, but a project of the heart for FKA Twigs. Her cross-section of passions, talents and beliefs about life are evident through this inspiring creation. If a futuristic techno-pop journey about the energy and joy of the human experience is what you need, this should be your next favourite album.
