Two years after the success of CAPRISONGS, FKA twigs returns on January 24, 2025 with her third studio album EUSEXUA and gives fans the title track of the same name.
But what is the Eusexua?
Between techno and synth sounds, EUSEXUA begins to take shape, an intimate and sensory journey: the song starts with the sound of a heartbeat, gradually turning into a deep story, describing the beginning of a new life path.
What immediately jumps to the ear is, however, a strong opposition between the use of an angelic voice and loud, reverberating, hypnotic beats; a dynamic sound that ends up being a brilliant solution, capable of uniting mind and body in a single sensual dance leading to the achievement of the apex, impossible to explain with words alone. It’s here to revolutionize contemporary R&B once again.
This song comes to life in Prague, where the artist moves, falling in love with techno sounds. It is also presented with a trailer, where a group of people, among whom we see present Skin of the Skunk Anansie, describes what the neologism EUSEXUA means to them; FKA twigs describes it personally as:
"EUSEXUA has been my training for the years it’s been in production. It’s my opus and it really seems to be the core of my being an artist. EUSEXUA was born from an illegible handwriting, written on the back of my hand in a bathroom at a rave in Prague, 'in this room of fools LET’S DO SOMETHING TOGETHER' and we do it. We delirious, sweat, kiss, make love with the clattering of culture.
EUSEXUA is a training.
EUSEXUA is a way of being.
EUSEXUA is the pinnacle of human experience"
The power of change
The singer-songwriter, therefore, invites us to reflect on the beauty of introspection, in search of one’s own self that emerges with force; a path that goes beyond conventions, in which what matters is the pure human essence, made of deep connection, vulnerability and so much freedom.
Through its history of rediscovery, FKA twigs builds little by little a safe space in which to fully express themselves.

Here you can find the lyrics:
Wonder how you feel
Wonder how you feel
Words cannot describe, baby
This feeling deep inside
King sized, I'm vertical sunrised
Like flying capsized
Free, I see you are
Eusexua
Do you feel alone?
You're not alone
And if they ask you, say you feel it
But don't call it love, Eusexua (Eusexua)
Wonder if you see
Wonder if you see
The way that we transcribe it, baby
Can change the course of time
King sized, I'm vertical sunrised
Like flying capsized
Free, I see you are
Eusexua
Do you feel alone? (Lost out at sea)
You're not alone (Under the stars)
Do you feel alone?
You're not alone
And if they ask you, say you feel it
But don't call it love, Eusexua (Eusexua)
Do you feel alone?
No, you're not alone
And if they ask you, say you feel it
But don't call it love, Eusexua
Eusexua
People always told me that I take my love too far
Then refused to help me
I was on the edge of something greater than before
But nobody told me
Eusexua
