“Eusexua is a practice. Eusexua is a state of being. Eusexua is the pinnacle of human experience,” declares a title screen in the song’s video
FKA Twigs is giving fans the first taste of her upcoming album, Eusexua, by dropping its title track’s dystopic video. She also announced that the album will release on Jan. 24, 2025.
The Jordan Hemingway-directed video opens with Twigs showing up late to work at an office called Cronecorp. As she’s confronted by her boss, a supernatural wave seems to hit the room before Twigs and her co-workers start an intense, almost alien-like choreography.
Suddenly Twigs starts to dance in only her undergarments. The video then transforms to show Twigs as a humanoid creature crawling over dirt while surrounded by a group of stretching men. “Do you feel alone?/You’re not alone,” Twigs sings. “And if they ask you, say you feel it/But don’t call it love, Eusexua.”
At the end of the video, a title screen flashes with the words: “Eusexua is a practice. Eusexua is a state of being. Eusexua is the pinnacle of human experience.”
Twigs launched the Eusexua era with a teaser earlier this month, explaining the significance of the term. The clip includes model-like figures exploring their own definition of the Twigs term. “Eusexua takes over who you are,” someone adds, while another likens the feeling to “shimmering rose petals on my skin.”
“Have you experienced Eusexua?” Twigs asked on social media while announcing the record. “Discover September 13.” A time stamp on the musician’s official website reads: “05:00:00, 14.09.24, London.” She previously previewed the record during a listening party in New York City.
Eusexua marks her first full-length release since 2019’s Magdalene. She also dropped mixtape Caprisongs in 2022. Her musical return comes after she scrapped dozens of songs that were leaked last year. “I got hacked, somebody leaked 85 of my demos,” she wrote on Instagram Stories in October. “Well done, no new music for a while now.”
