FKA Twigs – LP1

Tahliah Debrett Barnett, known professionally as FKA Twigs, is an English singer-songwriter, dancer, and actress. Possessing a soprano vocal range, Twigs’s music has been described as “genre-bending”, drawing on a variety of styles, including electronic music, R&B, trip hop, choral music, industrial, and avant-garde. Her work has been compared to that of Tricky as well as Kate Bush, Janet Jackson, The xx, and Massive Attack, while Slate described her work as distinctive in a way that rises above her influences. LP1 is her debut studio album, released on 6 August 2014 by Young Turks. Production for the album was handled by FKA Twigs herself, alongside Emile Haynie, Arca, Cy An, Devonté Hynes, Clams Casino, Paul Epworth, Sampha and Tic. Upon release, LP1 received widespread critical acclaim, and placed high on several year-end critics’ lists. The album spawned three singles: “Two Weeks”, “Pendulum” and “Video Girl”. The album was nominated for the 2014 Mercury Prize and the award for Best Recording Package at the 2015 Grammy Awards.
