Hot on the heels of the title track from her forthcoming album, Eusexua, FKA twigs has dropped another song and video, this one for the poppier “Perfect Stranger.” The clip—directed by Jordan Hemingway, who was also at the helm of the stunning “Eusexua”—features cameos from Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Yves Tumor.
The video sees twigs slipping into various characters across a series of vignettes, intercut with the kind of bold choreography and forward-minded fashions we’ve come to expect from the English artist. The scenes range from depictions of conventional domesticity (twigs is alternately seen cutting vegetables and bouncing a baby on her hip) and less traditional situationships (her body forms the base of a coffee table while a man watches TV).
In one scene, twigs portrays the sub to Waller-Bridge’s dominatrix. The singer is handcuffed, walking on a treadmill, while the actress, wearing silver-tipped horns around her neck, whips her with a riding crop.

Euseuxa is scheduled to be released on January 24, 2025 via Atlantic Records.
