FKA twigs has announced a new album, EUSEXUA Afterglow. It’s set for release via Atlantic Records/Young Recordings on November 14th. Along with the album announcement, the artist has shared the first single, “Cheap Hotel.” Listen to it below.
Originally envisioned as a deluxe edition of EUSEXUA, FKA’s album released earlier this year (and which topped Consequence’s list of the 30 Best Albums of 2025 So Far), EUSEXUA Afterglow has since evolved into its own body of work, described as a “continuation” with an entirely new tracklist.
With EUSEXUA explained as “a love letter to the techno rave scene and how it can initiate change within,” this new 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,” according to a press release. “Afterglow is a record steeped in the reverence of techno, but the beats now are fractured and derelict, and playful most importantly.”

FKA twigs new album announcement follows a busy year of tour dates and festival appearances, as well as a new song “Perfectly,” which the artist previewed at live shows. The EUSEXUA Afterglow era officially kicked off last month in Seoul, Korea, with an intimate after-party and rave where “Cheap Hotel” was played for the first time.
“Cheap Hotel” is a shimmering and shape-shifting synth-drenched soundscape featuring FKA twigs’ airy, delicate vocals. The atmospheric track’s post-rave perspective is perfectly mirrored in the song’s surreal Jordan Hemingway-directed music video. Watch it below.
Just last month, it was revealed that FKA twigs was cast as the Virgin Mary in the upcoming horror film, The Carpenter’s Son, starring Nicolas Cage as the titular carpenter whose son turns out to be Jesus Christ.
That won’t be FKA twigs’ only foray into film, as she’s slated to star as Josephine Baker in an upcoming biopic directed by French filmmaker Maïmouna Doucouré.
Earlier this year, she settled her sexual abuse lawsuit against her ex-boyfriend, Shia LaBeouf, out of court.
FKA twigs is also set appear at the already sold-out 2026 edition of the Coachella festival in Indio, CA, next April.
