The singer released track “Cheap Hotel” on Thursday, calling her upcoming album “hungry, raw and ready to be adored”
After FKA Twigs led us into the pulsating corners of the club world with Eusexua, her follow-up album Eusexua Afterglow seeks to channel the “euphoria of movement” that lingers after leaving the party.
While her upcoming album was initially conceived as a deluxe LP to Eusexua, Afterglow will now be an entirely new body of work that serves a continuation of its predecessor and is set to arrive on Nov. 14, per a press release.
“AFTERGLOW, a visceral waterfall, as you leave the rave in search of your next wonder, give her your consent to kiss, splash and caress your naked skin,” Twigs wrote in an Instagram post on Thursday. “EUSEXUA stripped you down and her aftermath is hungry, raw and ready to be adored.”
The announcement of the release date arrived alongside a new track titled “Cheap Hotel” and music video. The cinematic feature directed by Jordan Hemingway sees Twigs and her friend book a room with an unlucky fellow’s credit card as the scene evolves into a provocative hotel rendezvous sans fellow. The party takes a surreal turn as Twigs pauses the music and everyone in the room freezes while she exits to grab a drink from a vending machine outside. Yet Twigs saves the best for last when the card’s owner eventually shows up and gets an unexpected surprise waiting behind the door.
Afterglow will follow Twig’s successful tour, which kicked off in Paris in March, and festival run in support of Eusexua. A Rolling Stone review of her third studio album detailed its “techno beats, house production, and unforgiving industrial tones.” Writer Julyssa Lopez praised the “unpredictable” album for its focus on “complete freedom and impulse,” as Twigs “recharges and transforms, becoming stronger and at times even unrecognizable.”
