Album Review: FKA twigs - CAPRISONGS

Album Review: FKA twigs - CAPRISONGS

“While it’s been given the classification of mixtape, which could suggest a more disposable release, it’s just as meticulously written, crafted and produced as any of her other work. The decision to call it a mixtape seems to be an acknowledgement of the relative lightheartedness of the sounds, the divergence in styles across its 17 tracks, and the amount of varied voices appearing as interstitial clips and featured artists. And, like a mixtape, CAPRISONGS is a gift; a thank you made for her friends – and by extension the fans – who have supported and encouraged through the difficult past couple of years.”

I reviewed the utterly wonderful new ‘mixtape’ from the one and only FKA twigs. Head to BPM to read it.
