Get Into It: FKA twigs

In a plush voice that elevates the intensity of the listener’s mood with twisted, breathe taking ballads, FKA twigs is a perfect contender for today’s ingenious R&B genre. The 25-year-old Londoner introduces something new from the typical UK singer with glitchy, symphonic dubstep vibes. She pushes the norm with her lofty sonic style of voice, that can be compared as broad from Aaliyah to an early Janet Jackson and Björk.
The young songstress signed to UK imprint, Young Turks, home of the acts such as xx and SBTRKT. Her latest effort, EP2, is produced by emerging beatsmith Acra, who also contributed to Yeezus. It also doesn’t hurt that she’s mastered being visually striking to the eye. Her videos can be considered superb minimalism, but she charges the canvas with open female sexuality in a clean, artistic approach. The next fashion darling?
With the never ending evolution of current R&B music, acts such as twigs are embraced for their rage against the machine mentality, challenging the way the average music consumer balance digests the content. Two snaps for twigs! Get into FKA twigs with jams, “Papi Pacify” and “Water Me” below.
