Eusexua Afterglow

In August 2025, during a festival performance as part of the promotion of her third album Eusexua (2025), Twigs stated that she was releasing another album soon, titled Eusexua Afterglow.^[1] Pitchfork confirmed it to be "not a deluxe version, but rather a whole new album".^[2] The album was initially conceived as a deluxe edition of FKA Twigs's previous album, but it later evolved to a new project described as a sequel and containing a standalone track listing.^[3][4][5] "Perfectly", released on 16 July 2025, was originally intended to serve as the lead single from the deluxe edition of the album, but was ultimately excluded from the final tracklist.^[6] In August 2025, during a festival performance, Barnett announced that as a promotion of her album Eusexua, she would be releasing a new project soon, titled Eusexua Afterglow. The track "Margarita", now titled "Sushi", was teased in snippets at several of Barnett's performances. Pitchfork confirmed that Eusexua Afterglow would be an entirely new album, and not a deluxe edition of Eusexua, as suspected earlier by several fans.

FKA Twigs officially announced Eusexua Afterglow on 26 September 2025, along with an album trailer, which teased the track "Slushy".^[7] According to a press release, FKA Twigs created the word "Eusexua" to "describe the nothingness and focus one feels in the moments leading up to an orgasm", and the album "expands on the feelings that come after experiencing Eusexua, transmuting them into a soundtrack for the hours after the rave and extending that high into the afters".^[5][3] The lead single "Cheap Hotel" was released on the same date, and was accompanied by a seven-minute music video directed by Jordan Hemingway, which stars FKA Twigs alongside Shannon and Shannade Clermont.^[8][9] The album's second single, "Predictable Girl" was released on 11 November 2025.^[10] It was accompanied by a music video starring Barnett and Shivawn Joubert, directed by Jordan Hemingway.

Eusexua Afterglow was released on 14 November 2025 through Young and Atlantic Records. The music video for the track "Hard", directed by Jordan Hemingway, was released on the same day. The music video for the track "Love Crimes", directed by Jordan Hemingway, was released on 1 December 2025.

FKA Twigs is scheduled to embark on the Body High Tour in North America and Europe from March to June 2026 in support of the album.^[11]
