Welcome to the Rolling Stone interview podcast. I'm Julisa Lopez, deputy music editor at Rolling Stone.

Recently, I sat down to talk with FCA Twigs, the British experimental artist and polymath

known for her genre-bending sounds and gravity-defying dance moves. In a wide-ranging conversation,

we talk about her new album, Usexual Afterglow, and what it means to find healing on the dance floor.

She also tells us her funniest club stories, takes us behind the scenes of her new movie, The Carpenter's Son, with Nicholas Cage,

You can watch the full conversation on Rolling Stones YouTube channel and Spotify video,

or listen wherever you get your podcasts.

Please enjoy.
