During the conversation, she revealed that she was in the studio working on her new album with electronic musician (and frequent collaborator) Coreless . Twigs hinted that more "talented friends" will appear on her next album, which is "coming out this year."
“I moved to Prague a few years ago and fell in love with techno,” he told NME. He added that his next album "isn't techno, but the spirit is real."
Twigs also noted that the tone of the album is lighter than her previous music. "It's deep but not sad," he said. "I'm not sad any more."
The album will be a sequel to 2022's Caprisongs . He said his previous release was "rich in collaborations" and that the next project will be less intense. "I don't like to repeat myself," he wrote.

Twigs' talk about her upcoming music follows controversy surrounding her Calvin Klein ad in March 2023. Britain's Advertising Standards Authority announced on Jan. 10 that her ad had been banned because it portrayed her as a "stereotypical sex object", claiming that the image was "probably offensive".
In one of the black and white photos from the campaign, Twigs posed nude but wearing a Calvin Klein T-shirt that covered most of her body. Twigs responded to the ban with a post on Instagram, writing that she "didn't see the stereotypical sex object I was called." Instead, he thought the image showed a strong, beautiful, dark-skinned woman whose incredible body had endured more pain than anyone could imagine.
"I take pride in my physique and hold the art I create with my craft to the level of women like Josephine Baker, Eartha Kitt and Grace Jones ," she added, noting that these images "break down the barriers of what you look like." “We took it down.” Be." is empowered and utilizes a unique embodied sensuality.
Calvin Klein responded to the ASA's decision by denying that the photographs were harmful, noting that Twigs and Kendall Jenner , who also posed for the same spring campaign, said the photographs gave them a "sense of strength and confidence."
The ASA's decision also sparked a public backlash, with many citing a double standard after The Bear 's Jeremy Allen White similarly posed nude for Calvin Klein's Spring 2024 campaign; However, his photos did not incur the wrath of the ASA.
