New Music Recommendations

UK Alt-Pop icon, FKA twigs, dropped her new record EUSEXUA. FKA twigs has always been able to cultivate these supernatural soundscapes in her records, but this time, she’s brought it to the club. “Eusexua is for the girls who find their true selves under a hard metal silver stiletto on the damp rave floor” - FKA twigs. Give it a spin
