FKA twigs is already so fully developed as an artist that her voice—wispy, breathy, disarmingly operatic—can sometimes be overshadowed by her astonishing performances. They function as demonstrations of her dancer’s command of her body, living art installations, and full-spectrum auditory experience—together, something like live 4DX.?LP1, her first full-length, alluded to the expansive visionary she'd soon become, twisting her nimble voice over a textured palette of glitchy beats and sweeping synths.
LP1?often sounds mournful, upended by her propensity for minor keys, and a notion of sexuality that was widely ascribed to its songs that?may not have been explicitly about sex. This interpretation may have been partly because of how twigs carries herself—a generously candid musician and sinewy dancer—but is also attributable to the complex ways she delves into such topics as autonomy, aloneness, and sensuality in a holistic sense. Lead single "Two Weeks" may have been a break-up song lyrically, but the way she dives into it—vocal cadences interplaying with triple-time bass—elevates it into something like a triumphant prose poem to herself. Released in a crowded year for British experimental electronics, twigs' sense of drama pushed the landscape of heady dancefloor tracks into a blissfully corporeal space. –Julianne Escobedo Shepherd
FKA twigs已經(jīng)是一名全面發(fā)展的成熟藝術(shù)家了。她的聲音纖細、有呼吸感、帶有令人放松的歌劇質(zhì)感,雖然這些優(yōu)點有時會被她驚人的表演所掩蓋。它們的功能是展示這位舞者對她身體的有力掌控,靈活的藝術(shù)裝置,和全譜的聽覺體驗——合在一處即可帶來4D影院般的效果?!禠P1》是她的第一首標(biāo)準(zhǔn)長度專輯,在動感的節(jié)奏和橫掃一切的合成器上靈活跳動的輕快嗓音,暗示了她很快就會成為一個坦坦蕩蕩的夢想家?!禠P1》經(jīng)常聽起來很悲傷,但會被她對小調(diào)的偏愛所顛覆。還有一種性的概念廣泛存在于歌曲中,然而也并沒有得到明確的解釋。部分解釋可能來自于twigs表達她自己的方式——一個慷慨直率的音樂家和強壯有力的舞者——但一種原因也可能是她在整體意義上對自主性、孤獨和性感等主題的復(fù)雜探索。主打歌《Two Weeks(兩周)》在歌詞上可能屬于一首分手歌曲,但她深入其中的方式——與三次低音相互配合的聲樂節(jié)奏——使它升華成一首勝利的散文詩。在英國實驗電子學(xué)扎堆的一年里,twigs發(fā)行了這張專輯,其戲劇感將令人陶醉的舞池音樂推向了一個幸福的空間。
