Effective November 14, FKA twigs will drop her EUSEXUA Afterglow full length.
Supported by the Jordan Hemingway-directed music video, the now 37- year old multi-hyphenate released the ‘Cheap Hotel’ single following its Seoul, South Korea debut.
What ultimately became its own entity, Afterglow was originally intended to be a deluxe edition of January’s EUSEXUA, a collection that “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.” “Afterglow is a record steeped in the reverence of techno, but the beats now are fractured and derelict, and playful most importantly,” according to the the press release.
After signing a global publishing deal in June, Jeannette Perez, president and chief commercial officer of Kobalt, said:
“FKA twigs stands as a truly singular talent – a prolific songwriter and artist whose work consistently pushes boundaries. It’s a privilege to welcome her to the Kobalt family, and we are absolutely thrilled she has placed her trust in us as her publishing partner. We are eager to collaborate with her and her team, dedicating ourselves to safeguarding her unique artistry and amplifying her music’s reach across the globe.”
The enthusiasm continued with FKA twigs manager Jon Lieberberg adding “Kobalt has proven time and time again to be an incredible strategic partner – offering top-tier A R and sync support, along with some of the most clear and transparent administrative services in the industry. We’re truly excited about this partnership with Kobalt.”
In addition to her extensive music career, the British-born artist was cast as the Virgin Mary in the upcoming horror film, The Carpenter’s Son, starring Nicolas Cage in the titular role, and she will also portray the legendary entertainer and activist Josephine Baker in an upcoming biopic by French filmmaker Maïmouna Doucouré.
In 2024 twigs made her solo debut as a dancer with the Martha Graham Company and she co-starred with Bill Skarsgard in a modern adaptation of The Crow, directed by Rupert Sanders.
