“EUSEXUA has been my practice for the years that it has been in creation. it is my opus and truly feels like a pin at the centre of the core of my artist. EUSEXUA was birthed in chicken scratch, written on the back of my hand in a toilet at a rave in prague, ‘This room of fools WE MAKE SOMETHING TOGETHER’ and we do. We rave, we sweat, we kiss, we make love to the booming thud of culture. EUSEXUA is a practice. EUSEXUA is a state of being. EUSEXUA is the pinnacle of human experience,” wrote FKA twigs in introducing the world to the first chapter of her next album. The term “album” probably doesn’t do that vision justice fully, since there will be visually stunning music videos, live performances, and even a Sotheby’s movement art exhibit to accompany its release. If all of that sounds daunting to consume from the vantage point of a listener seeking out the higher state of being such an advertised steamy twigs’ banger might bring, “Eusexua”, the song and title track from the album is a tantalizing mediation that coexsists between that space and the scope of her ambitions. Syncing itself electronically with an immediate club energy produced by twigs, Koreless, and Eartheater (who also appears in the listen’s backing vocals,) it only needs to soft touch the senses to stimulate you fully. “And if they ask you, say you feel it / But don’t call it love.” No, that’s that FKA twigs euphoria only she can create.
