It comes after the musician reportedly played her new album in full during a New York listening party earlier this month.
The project, reportedly titled ‘Eusexua’, comes as the long-awaited follow-up to her 2019 album ‘Magdalene’.
One of those in attendance at the listening event wsa Uncut Gems star Julia Fox. Taking to her Instagram Stories after the event, Fox told fans that the LP was called ‘EUSEXUA’ and contained an abundance of emotional honesty from Twigs.
“The whole room was pulsing with electricity and raw emotion. I love u twigs, thank u for everything u do for us,” she wrote.
Now, Twigs has shared the new poster teasing the project’s arrival date as September 13. Check it out here:

Although the singer – real name Tahliah Debrett Barnett – hasn’t released a full album since 2019, she did drop new material back in March via the Two Shell duet, ‘Talk To Me’.
It arrived on the heels of her teasing her new album on Discord, and saying that while the songs won’t be techno, they were inspired by a trip to Prague where she “fell in love” with the genre (via Rolling Stone).
Last October, Twigs also confirmed that she was writing the album from scratch again after a hacker leaked dozens of demos.
At the time, it would have marked the follow-up to her 2022 mixtape, ‘CAPRISONGS‘. In a four-star review, NME said of that project: “After pouring her darkest moments into ‘Magdalene’, this varied and playful mixtape represents a moment of release, though it remains to be seen whether Barnett will head further into this direction, or enter a new album era recharged. You suspect, knowing twigs and her crew of chameleon-like collaborators, that she’ll probably continue to do both at once.”
That same year, FKA Twigs was announced as the recipient of the Godlike Genius gong at the BandLab NME Awards 2022. At just 34, she became the youngest-ever winner of the prize.
“To see my name amongst the iconic likes of The Clash, The Cure and Blondie is unreal!” she said after winning the award. “I am so proud to be the first Black female artist to have been honoured, still baby-faced, and inspired as hell. Here’s to the next decade of making art and music.”
She also told NME about what to expect from new material then too, explaining that she was looking to expand her sound going forward, but in a way that meant she didn’t lose sight of her roots.
“It’s not going to change my ethos. I only make music that I want to make. But I don’t want to stay the same – that’s the kiss of death for an artist, a sidestep into nothingness. I always want to learn more and keep growing,” she explained.
“As an artist, you drink from your own thumb… Like, if the inspiration is coming from yourself, if you’re drinking from your own thumb, then your art is always going to feel very honest and authentic and real. So that’s how I stay in tune with what I should do next.”
