Along with the coining of the term EUSEXUA, FKA twigs has created THE ELEVEN: eleven pillars of movement, designed to be a form of self-healing, every one being informed by her lifelong study of movement as a dancer.

Describing the album, the singer said: 'EUSEXUA is really this mixture of slightly psychadelic, childlike, playful exploration of what it is to be human.
