Lp1 by FKA twigs

It’s always good to start the new year with a new artist who you suspect will become a new favourite. This album opens with ethereal vocals over a glitchy piece of electronica, somewhere between Madonna circa Ray of Light and Bjork’s Volta, but also different from both of those reference points. Other tracks bring in dreamy soundscapes, with elements of trip hop and classical choral vocals.

It’s been called avant-pop and alternative R&B, but I honestly think that she might be on the verge of defining a genre of her own with this album. I’m now on my second listen and already looking forward to my third, before listening to the rest of her albums. This is really very good indeed and absolutely a five star album.
