fka twigs announces her highly-anticipated third studio album, EUSEXUA, set for release on 24th January 2025 via Young Recordings. Eusexua is a state of being—a fleeting transcendence sparked by art, music, sex, and unity. It leaves in its wake a blissful state, a sense of boundless possibility. Often described as ‘the pinnacle of human experience’, eusexua emerges when we fully embody ourselves, existing in the moment, untethered from technology, and in harmony with those around us. Born from twigs’ late nights in Prague’s underground techno scene, these moments of eusexua inspired the creation of EUSEXUA the album.

The band say of the album, “This is a record of opposites colliding – of dialectics trying to find a path of resolution. While the music has an effervescence and an elegiac uplift, most of the words deal with the cold analysis of the self, the exception being the three lyrics by James (Dean Bradfield) which look for and hopefully find answers in people, their memories, language and beliefs.

David Gray is back doing what he does better than almost anyone, and fans of complex, serious, lyrical songcraft should rejoice. Dear Life may be the deepest, strangest, loveliest album this pioneering British singer-songwriter has ever delivered. Years in the making, it is an album of emotional crisis and resolution, mortality and faith, reality and illusion, love and heartbreak, magic, science, loss and acceptance. Dear Life is David Gray’s 13th album. It’s the result of “a starburst of songwriting … it just seemed like the gods of songwriting were being kind. An album of emotional crisis and resolution, mortality and faith, reality and illusion, love and heartbreak, magic, science, loss and acceptance. While it is full of yearning and hope, there is an undercurrent of darkness, a tension between competing forces of hope and despair: a cavalcade of emotions in what is his most lyrically-focused collection to-date.
