FKA Twigs - new album EUSEXUA

[Pipo]

Is this person’s recording career some sort of tax write off?

You must be confusing her with Tinashe

I love it. Most played album of the year so far for me... not that there is much competition but still.

Annoyed that I missed this when it dropped (was on travel mode). Catching up now and it's not as good as Magdalene (WHAT IS tho!), but I'm always here for a collection of slut anthems. Bizarrely, I think 'Childlike Things' might be my early fave. On a collection that's otherwise focused on ambient explorations of intimacy, it feels wildly incongruous to the point where I'm still wrapping my head around it. 'Wanderlust' is also sending me, but that's more expected. Surprised that the record as a whole hasn't made more noise commercially - it's high time that twigs was beloved by more than just the hipster hoes.

her tour kicked off and she's incorporated Madonna's Don't Tell Me choreo into Girl Feels Good. she's truly a stan

“Girl Feels Good” is SO good. I haven’t given the album another go as I didn’t love it overall, but that song is a keeper.

brilliant new single Perfectly from the deluxe (which appears to be seriously titled Deluxua)

 

[Jark]

she's done a somewhat confusing double drop - a Eusexua deluxe (of sorts) and entirely new album Eusexua Afterglow





the deluxe chops 4 songs (including Girl Feels Good - wtf?) and replaces with 4 others - The Dare is my highlight, a lovely All Saints/William Orbit-esque moment



Got to Feel is very much in the vain of Girl Feels Good, which makes it more bizarre that that song was chopped for this version of the album...

I need more time with Afterglow but HARD has jumped out at me so far. overall it's less full of big pop songs than Eusexua and more glitchy. despite the tracklist fuckery, a nice addition to one of the best albums of the year that went a bit under the radar in the end.

Liking The Dare (and it does have a bit of a depressed Pure Shores vibe), I need to investigate the rest.

Who am I to question her artistic vision but is it just too obvious to put the new songs on the new album?

 

[Jark]

she says the album can only have 11 songs because there are 11 eusexua moods/feelings/symbols. or something.

HARD is amazing. Rest of the album is a vibe but nothing else jumped out. Haven't listened to the tracks on the deluxe yet.

OK "The Dare" is amazing and yes it's very William Orbit. I much prefer bright, breezy and relistenable Twigs. That being said, HARD is a bit less breezy but equally as amazing. She certainly didn't slack in this Eusexua 2.0 era.
