FKA twigs: Eusexua review – a hymn to the healing power of the dancefloor
Coining a word to describe a particular state of euphoria, twigs effortlessly juggles left-field digitals and club pop tunes on album No 3
It’s a slippery concept, but FKA twigs’s third album title roughly translates as an instance of feeling perfectly at one inside oneself, the Cartesian mind-body split healed over. “It feels nice,” she choruses simply on Room of Fools, a track that explores the somatic healing potential of the dancefloor with an exuberance that tilts both at Kate Bush and Middle Eastern vocalisations. A hymn to anonymous encounters, Perfect Stranger is club pop powered by a little two-step syncopation, while a more minimal, emotional track such as Keep It, Hold It contains explicit advice for how to get through hard things.
