FKA twigs: Eusexua [Atlantic/Young]
More than five years after Magdalene, FKA twigs is back with the studio follow-up, Eusexua. The successor to that 2019 opus and the interim mixtape Caprisongs sweeps across the breadth of twigs’ pop multiverse, spanning celestial R&B, industrial sound design, and antic club beats on the epic title track alone. Koreless-produced singles “Drums of Death” and “Perfect Stranger” also feature.
