Review
FKA twigs’ third studio album, Eusexua, released on January 24, 2025, is a testament to her continual evolution as an artist. The album’s title, a term she coined, encapsulates a state of euphoria and transcendence, reflecting her experiences within underground rave cultures. This influence permeates the album, resulting in a fusion of electronic, avant-pop, and R&B elements that challenge and captivate the listener.
The album opens with the title track, “Eusexua,” setting a psychedelic tone that carries through the record. Standout tracks include “Girl Feels Good,” which echoes Madonna’s “Ray of Light” era with its uplifting energy, and “Perfect Stranger,” a collaboration that brings a fresh dynamic to her sound. Notably, “Childlike Things” features an unexpected yet delightful appearance by 11-year-old North West, who delivers a rap verse in Japanese, adding a unique layer to the album’s eclectic mix.
With Eusexua, FKA twigs delves into themes of personal growth, emotional exploration, and the pursuit of transcendence. The album’s innovative blend of genres and introspective lyrics offers a rich, immersive experience, solidifying her position as a boundary-pushing force in contemporary music. - Carlie
