“SO THERES NO DELXUA?”: Netizens react as FKA twigs announces new project ‘Afterglow’ at Lowlands Festival

FKA Twigs has set social media abuzz following the announcement of her upcoming musical project, Afterglow, which she revealed during her performance at the Lowlands Festival on August 16, 2025. The British singer, songwriter, and performer told the crowd about her new work near the end of her show. She also mentioned that fans can expect the album to come out in September 2025, but she didn't give an exact date.

“New music. I am so in abundance and ready to give birth. Her name is Afterglow. And my labour shall commence next week,” the artist said.

The news comes after she dropped her previous album Eusexua in January 2025. This release marked her comeback following a five-year break, as her last studio album Magdalene, hit the shelves in 2019. In a January chat with NPR, she talked about the ideas behind Eusexua.

"It's pure presence. It's a moment of nothingness. Or it's the moment before a really incredible idea. I've experienced 'eusexua' when kissing someone I don't know really well, but I really like. So it's this ego-less presence which is just filled with this kind of tingling clarity," she said.
