FKA Twigs Teases ‘Eusexua' Deluxe Version With New Single ‘Perfectly'
FKA Twigs FKA Twigs kicked off the year with, in her words, a 'booming thud of culture' with the release of her third studio album Eusexua. The 'Childlike Things' singer kicked off her Eusexua Tour in the spring, and in June, she teased the release of a deluxe version of the album with a listening event with fans. It appears that Twigs is preparing for the next chapter of the Eusexua era with the release of the new single 'Perfectly.' 'And so the offerings begin again,' she wrote in an Instagram post seemingly inaugurating the rollout. 'If 'Eusexua' was the tip of the tongue, 'Perfectly' is the esophagus,' she said. 'I wonder what lays in the belly of the beast.' An upbeat club track complemented by Twigs' ethereal vocals, 'Perfectly' embodies the best of what Eusexua has to offer and shows that the shelf life of the album is nowhere near over yet. "Another day, leave it all to another day / Leave it all to another day, another me / And when I'm done, they'll say I did it perfectly," she sings on the track. 'A sky of blue, a sea of green / A messy room, fits perfеctly / Inside my head I have thе best time / Yes, in my head, I have the best time.' Twigs previously explained on social media what Eusexua means to her, not just as a project of alt-dance music but as part of her artistic identity. 'Eusexua has been my practice for the years that it has been in creation. It is my opus and truly feels like a pin at the center of the core of my artist,' she said. 'Eusexua was birthed in chicken scratch, written on the back of my hand in a toilet at a rave in Prague: 'This room of fools, we make something together' and we do. We rave, we sweat, we kiss, we make love to the booming thud of culture.' The Eusexua Tour wraps up Aug. 9 in Budapest.
