Upcoming third release from FKA Twigs who began teasing the album in January 2024 through a string of posts on her Discord. Having relocated to Prague "a couple summers" prior, she fell in love with techno; while she explained that the album would not consist of that genre but would bear its "spirit," and she described it as "deep but not sad." Twigs further revealed that she had teamed up with electronic duo Two Shell who helped her craft the era from scratch after 85 of her demos were leaked in October 2023. https://tinyurl.com/3xc6f2za In an interview with British Vogue in March 2024, she explained the meaning behind the word "eusexua," saying that she came up with it to describe the "sensation of being so euphoric" that one could "transcend human form." |

Ab-Soul sampled the hook in this song for "Illuminate" (featuring Kendrick Lamar). The song was originally composed by Patrick Leonard as an instrumental for the score of Paramount's film "Fire with Fire," but Paramount rejected it. Leonard then presented the track to Madonna, who decided to use it for "At Close Range," a film starring her then-husband Sean Penn. |
