FKA twigs - EUSEXUA Afterglow [Clear Pink]

FKA twigs keeps the party going on EUSEXUA Afterglow, the 2025 companion to EUSEXUA, pressed here on clear pink vinyl.

Released the same year as its predecessor, Afterglow plays less like a pile of leftovers than the moment after the rave, when the lights come up and the feelings come rushing in. twigs has always treated pop as a laboratory, blending club music, R&B and avant-garde production into something that sounds like nobody else, and here she keeps the tempo high while letting the emotions spill over.

Highlights arrive early with opener "Love Crimes" and the club-ready "Cheap Hotel," while "Wild And Alone" brings in PinkPantheress for a sweet-and-sour pairing of two very different voices. "Stereo Boy" closes the record and leaves the door open behind it. The production, shared between twigs and a wide circle of collaborators, throbs and glitters, and occasionally threatens to fall apart in the most exciting way.

Her voice remains the anchor, slipping from breathy intimacy to commanding power without warning, and her ear for detail means every beat, sigh and synth swell feels placed with intent.

Afterglow captures an artist at full creative tilt, and the clear pink pressing suits its glossy, after-hours mood perfectly, like neon reflected on wet pavement.
