FKA twigs isn’t one for predictability, despite what the title suggests. “Predictable Girl” dropped on 11 November 2025 ahead of Friday’s EUSEXUA Afterglow release (14 November via Young/Atlantic).
The glitchy textures cut through the mix like broken glass while that blown-out bassline does serious work underneath. There’s real grit here, the kind that rattles your chest when the volume’s up.
The two-step beat keeps things moving, but twigs and her production team (Oli XL, Mechatok, Manni Dee among them) have deliberately fractured the arrangement. Nothing sits quite where you’d expect.
The bass distorts beautifully, giving the track a satisfying heaviness that feels almost industrial at points.
Jordan Hemingway’s music video matches the sonic chaos perfectly. Twigs tears through neon-lit streets on a motorbike, confronting her doppelganger in choreography that blurs fighting with something more intimate.
The whole thing glitches out before any real resolution, which feels intentional because the track does the exact same thing.
Here’s where it gets frustrating though: the song builds brilliantly but stops short of the payoff you’re craving. You keep waiting for that final chorus, one more escalation to push it over the edge.
Instead it ends right when things should explode. The structure works on its own terms, but you’re left wanting more. Specifically, that climactic moment it teases but never delivers.
Still, as a preview of what Afterglow offers, it’s effective. Where EUSEXUA was all about the euphoric rush of the dancefloor, this follow-up explores the comedown, that restless energy when the lights come up and you’re still buzzing.
“Predictable Girl” nails that feeling of being stuck between the high and reality. It’s immediate and fun, but the deliberate lack of resolution keeps you suspended in the afters, wanting the night to continue.
Afterglow’s shaping up to be a solid companion to the earlier record, and if the rest matches this energy, we’re in for something special.
