LP1

Not my scene.

You can really hear how it influenced later 2010's and 2020's pop. Very interesting blend of electronica and alt pop. Does really fall off in the second half though. Doesn't really do enough to keep interest for me.

Delightfully weird! Singer has a pleasant voice. Not sure I would seek this out

And again: no

Definitely wrote this album off when I first heard it in my pretentious radio station days. It's a lot more interesting to listen to now. I thought of the weird electronic effects infused with the R&B aesthetics were there for the sake of being weird but they actually really elevate the songwriting. Pendulum is such a beautiful track with great panning effects giving the song a very titular feel, Lights on as well is very intimate. Two Weeks is a very obvious stand out single. Video Girl has amazing voice modulation. Numbers has a gut wrenching chorus lyrically. Closer almost feels like a church hymn from the future in terms of tone but has a beautiful love theme. There are just so many cool blends of choral tone manipulation, trap influenced R&B beats, eerie yet beautiful synth choices all over this thing.

Beautiful music that is NSFW

This is probably the best time for me to have gotten this album, because I've been listening to a ton of this psychedelic soul/alternative R&B. Frank Ocean, Miguel, Sza, etc, and this album fits in with that headspace. It's dreamy, it's poppy, it's ethereal. It's creative and unique, and it manages to be excellent background music while also being complex and poignant enough that one could sit in a dark room, close their eyes, and just concentrate on the music. 4 stars.

First time listening to this album really enjoyed it, reminded me a bit of a more modern portishead/massive attack, with the chilled out heavy base, added to my frequent rotation.

I like this album. I'm surprised it's over ten years old. Feels younger.

Zugegeben, dass war schon herausgefordernd. Gleich vorweg: Kicks, closer und two weeks sind meine absoluten Favoriten. Liegt auch daran, dass Melodien und Gesang erkennbar sind. Sehr schön. Ja, sonst brauchte ich schon sehr viel Geduld. Ich bin Björk gewöhnt, aber das ist noch einmal anders.

Very interesting sound.

not my style, didn't really enjoy

I do enjoy experimental pop but this one didn’t do much for me. It sounds similar to a lot of good alternative pop of the past 5 years so credit to it for coming out before it. It still was engaging tho Rating: 3.2

fuck man

Did everything I could to like this album but it just isn’t happening. People will repeat ad nauseum that listening music is ultimately a subjective exercise, but I honestly this the point of criticism is to situate any piece of art within its objective situation and contextualise its merits from that vantage. With that in mind, I’m lead to believe that FKA Twigs and the ensemble of producers she had at her disposal were pushing the boundaries of R&B. Incorporating washes of icy synths and soaring vocal effects, the album is at first really quite mesmerising. Additionally, though she is a far cry from the great wordsmiths of popular music, the almost painfully candid manner Twigs deals with the ubiquitous topics of love and heartbreak is occasionally appealing. But there are some objectively deficient aspects to FKA Twigs’ artistry which simply must be called out - though the delusionally ebullient music press would never do so for an artist of her profile, particularly in this genre. But let’s not pretend like this is some milestone of cultural greatness. At it’s best it is simple good, 5/10 atmospherics which couches its earnest pretense in the most obnoxious artifice. In other words, the production which aims at novelty does so aimlessly. I actually really like the other word of some producers on this album (namely, Arca), but the sonic exploration of the mixing desk feels completely clinical here. More novel nowadays would be a producer who opts to serve the song rather than shoehorn another obscure Bossa Nova sample pitch-shifted to sound like Alvin and the Chipmunks. What ultimately gets lost in this labyrinth of sounds are the contributions of Twigs herself. And by the end of this record I was lapsing into the most unforgivable of states when listening to a record - complete boredom. I rate the ambition but this record falls way short of the hype, and is so much less than the sum of its parts.

When FKA twigs hit the charts in 2014 with her trip-hop inspired, electronic R&B, she became a phenomenon with capital F. 10 years later, and everything still holds up extremely well. Includes my second favorite song titled 'Two Weeks'.

Pop has a tendency to age rather quickly. It's a genre closely tied with the present fashion. LP1 is now 10 years old (a lifetime in pop years) and it still holds up brilliantly. The production is stellar, FKA Twigs' vocals are hauntingly beautiful - but the most impressive thing is that if this was released tomorrow, it would still feel new and fresh.

Probablemente, uno de los mejores álbumes de R&B de los 2010's, el cual redefinió los límites del género y su mezcla con la electrónica, estableciendo nuevos cánones y bases para la construcción del pop basado en los sonidos descendientes de esta corriente de música afroamericana. FKA Twigs, a la vez, se posiciona con este trabajo como una de las figuras más interesantes de la escena estadounidense, manteniéndose hasta el día de hoy con un estatus respetado dentro de la industria. Sumamente recomendable, pero no de mi gusto personal.

# 318 : Can't Listen, don't like it, I'm not sure it inspired anyone, but if the music isn't good, I'm not sure I need to hear it before I die. I can't imagine getting hit by a bus and my last thought being, "But I never got to that album from FKA Twigs!".

Smooth, sexy and sad all at once. Pretty good!

Epitome of modern electronic production

Lights On // Two Weeks // Video Girl // Closer // Kicks // 3.5/5

Not terrible, but not my thing.

I truly believe that the apex of modern-day alternative rnb comes in the form of FKA Twigs' music. While she would go on to polish and round out her sound on future records, especially on her impeccable 2019 release 'MAGDALENE', this "rudimentary" release in her discography remains a stunning demonstration of pop, electronic, and rnb fusions 'till this day. With hints of some of The Weeknd's 'Trilogy' EPs and a mildly unsettling, yet ultimately troubled-romantic aesthetic not unlike some of Portishead's works, twigs manages to curate this hauntingly gorgeous piece that's parts experimental, yet undoubtedly still mass-appealing. You'll get stuttering electronic instrumentation and drums, gentle and breathy vocals, falsetto harmonies, ear-candy melodies, and intimate writing here - characteristics that may seem oversaturated now but this album proves that Twigs was (way) ahead of the curve when it came to refining some of these sounds. I'd say this record is best absorbed as a whole, with 40 minutes of consistently lulling music, but individual tracks like 'Two Weeks', 'Video Girl', and the closer 'Kicks' stand their ground as defiant ballad-bops within the genre. Honestly revisiting this thing, I forgot just how great of a debut album it is. I'd also argue that this record is one of the most influential in the genre - there really was no one doing it quite like FKA twigs nearing the mid-2010s. Also, this album cover rules.

sounds like a random persons soundclouf

Though this album has some similarities to Kelela’s “Take Me Apart”, I just didn’t feel this one. Even as background music while it worked, it was almost distracting. I try to give all albums, at least a second lesson before I judge them, but I could only get halfway through the second time before I had to move on. just not my thing.

Interesting album, overall I liked it

Eh, not for me. 2.2

I didn't get into this at all. Couldn't finish, but I feel bad with one star because I may have missed the bangers, but I don't feel like I will actually miss any of it.

I enjoyed this quite a bit. Was better with headphones, some parts made my ears feel all weird which was cool. 4/5

3.5

jesus christ, i hated everything about the production on this record, but the percussion that sounded like a malfunctioning washing machine on "Pendulum" was by far the worst single element. she seems to have a nice voice, tho.

The second half of the album is very good. I knew this had a lot of praise ad at 3 songs in I wondered why. But then by the next song everything started to come together. The strange sonic landscapes better matched the the songs and I became interested.

It's a production masterpiece. Is it enough to be on this list? I think not. 2.5/5.

This wasn't great, but I can see why some people may like it.

I enjoy the experimental nature and genre bending that Twigs brings to the table, but the rasp-singing can get grating after a while. I prefer her work in smaller doses, individual songs tend to blend together in a way that lessens their impact. Listened to: on a bus to Montreal. Favorite tracks: Video Girl, Kicks

FLA twigs is making some of the best RnB to come out in recent years and this debut landed with a bang with all the promise that she had shown with her earlier EPs. Not something I go to often but great to revisit after a while.

I think the artistry is there- deserving of a 4 star, but alas it doesn’t completely resonate with me.

Hm. Schwebt an mir vorbei. Bekomme ich nicht zu fassen.

This was a terrible album to add to this list. This has no significance whatsoever.

Vaihtoehtoisulottovuuskenaarioyksinäisyys tätä kuunnellessa... Ketään toista henkilöä ei olisi maanpäällä joka kuuntelisi mielellään tälläistä paskaa jos ei olisi 1001 kirjaa tehtyppä heh... POPPIA mutta ei lainkaan poppia täysin unpopular compositiot kappaleissa eihän tämä käy järkeen.. Genius....ei voi yhtä..

Like so many albums of the early 2010s, this feels as though it was going to decide the future of mainstream electronic music until one day, it just felt like a product of its time. I guess you could say that about most decades. Huh.

Frequently Kinda Awesome: twigs's production twirls, even when songs don't fully bloom.

I listened to this a bit when it came out. My youngest daughter really liked this. So much so that she named her cats Twigs. I do find it very creative and different. Not really my thing but I can appreciate it.

not my kinda

I didn’t like this as much as I was hoping I would. It was interesting to listen to and I appreciate the unique fusion of genres, but it didn’t really captivate me.

Very unique sound. High swooping tones, but not a lot of variety amongst the songs. I enjoyed it!

Not bad

Ugh a lot of tweeting and hooting

I just don’t like it. Electronic music just isn’t for me

The softest, most sensual sides of several genres converge for a sweet sweet album that is so unfortunately marred by a ridiculous tonal or production idea on nearly every song, sometimes enough to tear you out of the experience (wtf even happened on "Kicks"?)

Too "sexy" for me....

This is the musical equivalent of style over substance — all aesthetic, no soul. It tries desperately to be avant-garde, but ends up sounding like a pretentious mess of whispery vocals, awkward rhythms, and production that’s more interested in being “weird” than listenable. It’s as if someone took the concept of emotional depth, filtered it through a fog machine, and forgot to include an actual song. Tracks bleed into one another with little distinction, and while the album clearly wants to be groundbreaking, it often feels hollow and self-indulgent — like a fashion show with no models, just flashing lights and ambient noise. LP1 doesn’t invite you in; it keeps you at arm’s length and dares you to care. In the end, it’s less of a musical experience and more of an endurance test. If this is the future of R&B, it might be time to hit rewind.

Queen

I suppose I am ok with the idea of this album without quite being able to surrender to its rather ambivalent charm.

magdalene is better. LP1 is good, but yet forgettable art pop without distinct artistic voice (mostly reminds of grimes)

If this is a 5 Magdeline is a 6

Vaguely recollect giving this a listen when it was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize. I always listen to the yearly nominations as it is a good source for discovering good albums you might have missed (like this list!) Cannot recollect my reaction to it then but would have been similar to today’s listen. I’m all for experimentation and pushing boundaries but this album goes nowhere and quickly becomes boring. The occasional heavenly vocals are pleasing and these save it from a 1 star. 2/5 23/7/24

2.3.

No. 222/1001 Preface 3/5 Lights On 4/5 Two Weeks 5/5 Hours 3/5 Pendulum 4/5 Video Girl 4/5 Numbers 4/5 Closer 4/5 Give Up 4/5 Kicks 4/5 Average: 3,9 Lush, cinematic pop-extravaganza. What a great surprise this album was.

Nice production value from an interesting artist.

I enjoyed the music more than the vocals. Not much else more to say.

2-

Den kunne jeg ikke blive helt klog på. Første indtryk var ikke positivt, men den voksede på mig i løbet af lytningen. Men tror alligevel ikke den kommer på min bucketlist.

Klart et par bangers ind i mellem. Jeg fik en del associationer med SBTRKT på den gode måde.

Hun har en interessant stemme, og der er nogle quitky beats. Men som helt album bliver det ensformigt og uinteressant.

Some random sound from a freeware music creation tool. Sorry, that 0 is no option.

Meh.

"LP1" by FKA twigs is a seminal work that marked a significant point in contemporary music upon its release in 2014. This debut studio album by the British singer-songwriter and producer, Tahliah Debrett Barnett, known professionally as FKA twigs, merges ethereal soundscapes with raw emotional expression. The album's unique blend of avant-garde production, intricate lyricism, and thematic depth showcases twigs' multifaceted talent and cements her position as a transformative figure in modern music. ### Lyrics The lyrical content of "LP1" is a vivid exploration of vulnerability, sensuality, and introspection. FKA twigs employs a poetic approach, often intertwining themes of love, desire, and pain. The lyrics are marked by their abstract yet deeply personal nature, allowing listeners to engage with the music on an emotional and intellectual level. In "Two Weeks," she sings, "I can fuck you better than her," a bold declaration of confidence intertwined with sensual vulnerability. This line, like many others on the album, balances between raw honesty and a poetic delivery that leaves a lasting impression. The song "Pendulum" encapsulates feelings of longing and instability, with lines like, "So lonely trying to be yours, when you're looking for so much more." Here, twigs addresses the complexities of relationships, highlighting her ability to convey profound emotions through minimalistic yet impactful lyrics. ### Music Musically, "LP1" is an eclectic mix of genres, blending elements of R&B, electronic, pop, and trip-hop. The production is characterized by its experimental approach, utilizing unconventional sounds and structures to create a soundscape that is both immersive and challenging. The album opens with "Preface," which sets the tone with its haunting vocal samples and sparse instrumentation. This track, along with others like "Lights On" and "Video Girl," showcases twigs' ability to create an atmospheric experience that draws the listener into her world. The use of space and silence is a notable feature throughout the album. In "Closer," for example, the minimalistic production allows twigs' ethereal vocals to take center stage, creating a sense of intimacy and immediacy. The beats are often syncopated and layered, providing a complex rhythmic foundation that enhances the overall texture of the music. ### Production The production on "LP1" is nothing short of groundbreaking. Produced by a team including Arca, Emile Haynie, Dev Hynes, Paul Epworth, and Clams Casino, the album's sound is meticulously crafted. The production techniques employed are innovative, with a heavy reliance on digital manipulation and unconventional recording methods. One of the standout tracks in terms of production is "Hours," where twigs' voice is layered and processed to create a multi-dimensional effect. The song "Numbers" features glitchy beats and distorted vocals, exemplifying the album's experimental nature. Each track is meticulously constructed, with attention to detail evident in the way sounds are layered and juxtaposed. ### Themes "LP1" delves into themes of identity, intimacy, and emotional complexity. Throughout the album, FKA twigs explores the interplay between vulnerability and strength, often reflecting on personal experiences and emotions. The recurring themes of love and desire are examined from various angles, presenting a nuanced perspective on relationships. The theme of self-discovery is prominent in songs like "Pendulum" and "Give Up," where twigs grapples with her sense of self in the context of love and longing. The album also touches on themes of empowerment and autonomy, particularly in tracks like "Two Weeks," where she asserts her confidence and control. ### Influence "LP1" has had a profound impact on contemporary music, influencing a wide range of artists across genres. The album's innovative production and genre-blending approach have inspired musicians to push the boundaries of conventional music-making. Artists such as Solange, Kelela, and Björk have acknowledged the influence of FKA twigs' work on their own music. The album's success also paved the way for greater acceptance of experimental and avant-garde music in the mainstream. "LP1" challenged listeners and critics alike to reconsider the boundaries of pop and R&B, contributing to a broader appreciation for innovative and unconventional sounds. ### Pros and Cons #### Pros: 1. **Innovative Production**: The production on "LP1" is pioneering, blending electronic and acoustic elements in a way that sounds fresh and forward-thinking. 2. **Emotional Depth**: FKA twigs' lyrics are deeply personal and poetic, providing a rich emotional landscape for listeners to explore. 3. **Vocal Performance**: Her vocal delivery is unique and versatile, ranging from delicate whispers to powerful crescendos, adding to the album's dynamic range. 4. **Thematic Cohesion**: The album maintains a cohesive narrative, exploring themes of love, identity, and empowerment with depth and nuance. 5. **Cultural Impact**: "LP1" has had a significant influence on contemporary music, inspiring artists and expanding the boundaries of genre. #### Cons: 1. **Accessibility**: The experimental nature of the album might be challenging for some listeners who prefer more conventional music structures. 2. **Pacing**: Some tracks can feel slower and less engaging, potentially affecting the overall flow of the album. 3. **Abstract Lyrics**: The abstract and poetic nature of the lyrics might be difficult for some listeners to connect with on a personal level. 4. **Production Overload**: In some instances, the dense production can overshadow the vocals, making it hard to focus on the lyrical content. ### Conclusion "LP1" by FKA twigs is a landmark album that combines innovative production, intricate lyricism, and profound thematic exploration. Its impact on contemporary music is undeniable, influencing a range of artists and pushing the boundaries of genre and production techniques. While its experimental nature may not appeal to all listeners, those who engage with the album will find a deeply rewarding and immersive experience. "LP1" stands as a testament to FKA twigs' artistic vision and her ability to transform personal vulnerability into a universal and transformative work of art.

This was a pleasantly surprising electronic pop album. I felt it was a blend of bjork and chvrches. The production on this was really good. The use of the electronic sounds mixed well her the falsetto style of singing. Not sure how much I’d revisit it but this was good and enjoyable for the album of the day. 6.6/10

This is not starting off well. I'm beginning to think that either the critics who chose these albums were trying to show how cool and smart they are or I have bad taste. If this album was less interested in sounding weird and being "genre-bending" there's some parts I like. Her voice is lovely. It's getting better. She's like an R&B Annie Lennox with Kanye producing. Two Weeks is good, maybe I was rushing to judgment after one song and after being exposed to some truly terrible albums in this project. Her singing is amazing but the music is distracting sometimes. The songs almost barely hang together at some points. As soon as I think I'm starting to get it, the next song just feels off. Video Girl is sexy as hell though. Every song has something to like, but almost none of them are good through their whole length. I guess I like this. If I listen to it again, I feel like I might not. This is a confusing album.

Good

Woooaaaahhh! The depth of the production on this album is insane. I listened a few times through and picked up new little things every time. twigs has a beautiful and haunting voice that suits the music well. A few moments sound dated but it closes really strong. I am looking for her future projects to be a little more focused and less repetitive but I’m so glad I was forced to sit and listen to this because I would have bounced off quickly if left to my own devices.

Never heard this. Not my kind of music. I appreciate aspects of this but I didn't care for it. "You're younger than I am broken"

It's Ok, but there was nothing memorable - for me.

It sounds kind of like music I've possibly heard in a mall in LA. But now at least I know who sings "Two Weeks" and have been educated. Not as bad as I expected, and I liked a few of the songs - "Numbers" and "Closer" with it's churchy hymn style. Not something I would listen to normally, but I didn't hate the experience.

Nope. Nope. Nope. Next.

I can see why some might like listening to this...but it's just not for me.

This is a way easier listen than it has any right to be. It's really good. It's got a really good vibe and flow. I'd never heard anything by this artist before, so it was all new to me. Lights On was the first track that stuck out to me. Really good. It's the same standard the entire way through. But more than anything, it's a really really easy listen

These are the albums that should be on the list, fresh and unique. I enjoyed a few songs but each one got to a point where it’s like it dropped the ball at some moment. Hard to describe but I’d wait for some crescendo or beat and it either didn’t come or it twisted into something else.

No way! Love FKA Twigs, this isn't her best album (that title ABSOLUTELY goes to Magdalene), but it's a great introduction to her catalog. I always thought "Water Me" was on here, but that was an EP before this. The big one I return to is "Two Weeks," but some other great songs on here too. This gets a strong 3.5 stars from me, with the acknowledgement that my version of this list almost definitely replaces this album with Magdalene. Favorite tracks: Two Weeks, Pendulum, Lights On, Give Up. Album art: Love it, very bold and striking. Excellent colors, extremely surreal image. To this day, I'm not sure if it's a picture or CGI of her fact, but I also don't want to know. I like being freaked out. 4/5

You know, I don't want to downplay the work of FKA twigs on her debut album. However, if I had to explain how I feel about LP1, I think my best way to do it is by comparing her to another artist. I know, that's probably not the best way to go about doing things, but I'm not really comparing her to another artist. I'm comparing how I feel about her to how I feel about another artist. The way LP1 makes me feel is similar to how I feel about a Bjork album. Not a specific one, just Bjork albums in general. Is this the kind of thing I'd listen to on my own time? No. It's not my daily music. However, I hear a lot of talent on this album and highly respect it. This is pretty good. The production is immaculate. It's very well put together. The pacing is also nice. I like the connected themes throughout the album. It makes LP1 a concept album of sorts in regards to its provocative theme. The singing is nice, the instrumental sounds are pleasant to listen to, and the album doesn't go on for too long. It feels distinctly modern without a lot of the problems that make people dislike "modern pop music." Overall, this is a pretty good album, even if I probably won't go back to it much. Low 4/5.

Slow paced ambient electrono pop. Not particularly exciting.

I don’t mind this album but I don’t know why it’s on the list

Wow this album is really my style.. I have never listened to FKA Twigs before but I had no idea she made such good music! I can see why this album is on the list it sounds so fresh for something released in 2014.

Why am I listening to somebody's GCSE project?

Ass

Right then, sort of a poor man's Kate Bush but without the ability to make it consumable by the masses. was my first impression. But it improved with the last few tracks. Unfortunately it was followed on my player by Bjork and I realised that she also made a far superior job of it. Can't do better than a 1.

If a complete mish mash of electronic sounds with squeaky breathy vocals is your thing then give this a go. It’s not my thing so I wish I hadn’t bothered. It screams pretentious hipsters to me!

I remember listening to it a few times when it came out after all the hype. For alternative R&B it's excellent. But where it fits for me, It's just ok, off the wall enough for it to pique my interest back then. But nowadays it's not got enough going on for it to be a regular listen.

Lotta people I know are into this kind of thing. I have nothing bad to say about it, but it doesn't Speak to me at all. I prefer a more *staccato* layered soundscape.

Nope!

Not my cup of tea. Wasn’t entirely bad though.

great voice, interesting ideas, i’d probably listen again, wasn’t too bad

Such a beautiful voice! Album cover not so beautiful.

It is easy to forget, seeing how ubiquitous the sound is now, the hype and the buzz the girl formerly known as Twigs generated in the early 2010s with her transition from dance to electronic music. Her twisted, formless songs, aided by productions from Arca, Clams Casino, Blood Orange, et al., filled the then-present void of unconventional female pop singers breaking the mold and recontextualzing it in their own image. Ten years on, whether it was bested or not, LP1 remains the best start point of Twigs' discography. Favorites: Lights On, Two Weeks, Hours, Video Girl, Numbers, Kicks.

Baby portishead.

I’ve never listened to FKA twigs and I’m sad that it took me a decade from this album release to hear it! And that Spotify has never recommended it based on being similar to music I already listen to. She’s heading into the rotation!

I get it, but it could've done with a decent beat.

AWFUL noise!

Not bad at all. I had expected something much more esoteric. At some points the music reminded me of Protishead. However, the sound is a bit too ethereal for me. Interesting, but I don't have an urgent desire to listen to it again. 3/5

More arty than music

Really happy this is on here though I don’t like it quite as much as the follow up, Magdalene.

Did nothing for me

No thanks!

There are stretches of this album that are basically unlistenable. I want to like it, but I just don't get it, truthfully, or how anyone could enjoy this. 3/10.

boring

New to me. An interesting sound, will listen to more…

This was unexpectedly good.

Weird electric poppy high singing music

Certainly a specific vibe. Maybe being over 40 makes me not so into it. I could see if this came out in my 20s I would have known every song.

Really like the use of stereo sound in Pendulum. This is good music to vibe to.

Pretty good. Very creative modern kinda trippy sad British pop. Songs all a bit samey, but good

Ligts on on upea kohottava biisi - tulee keikkafiilikset! Vaikka äänityksessä ei ole mitään kovin orgaanista. Äänimaailma on eheä läpi levyn ja voisi olla tylsä, mutta mun mielestä ei ole, kun annetaan koneiden kolista ja herätellään hyvin asetelluilla kirosanoilla. Vahva kolme puol, nelosen puolella sen takia, että on tuttu levy mulle aiemmin.

Oho, Flow-festarin alkuillassa leijailevia säveliä, jotka ottavat kappaleiden muodon - ja koukkujen! Two Weeks herättää kunnioitusta.

I can no longer enjoy EDM unless it’s chill and melodic. This was too chaotic

Wouldnt be in my top million. After Portishead came out all this after is meh. Slow electronica is NOT my jam.

An odd album. Soft pop with ethereal sounds and choir-like vocals. I liked it.

Well this was one from out of nowhere. I had only known the name FKA Twigs from an unsubstantiated map on Facebook showing best-selling artists from each UK county, and not having a clue who Miss Twigs was despite her being the representative of the county I reside in. The album is husky, sultry and sexually charged, a bit of M.I.A., a bit of Lourde but with quite a bit of FKA Twigs. Good stuff!

Better than I thought it'd be

good ideas but not my cup of tea.

This album surprised me, I didnt expect that sounds

A disconcerting, unsettling, unnerving cross between Portishead and Bjork…but it’s RnB. Drug addled and stoned, heavy and dank…icy cold. Disturbing cover image….can’t work out if I hate this or love it. Probably deserves higher than I’m giving it today, but some of the production choices really annoy me (as in the bleeps and bloops are often overdone). ‘Numbers’ and ‘Give Up’ are the two standout tracks on here for me, because the balance between experimentation and the actual songs/music is at the right level. ‘Closer’ with its annoying chipmunk vocals run through a vocoder, or some sort of filter, (or whatever the fuck) is the low point. It’s that kind of album.

Je peux pas dire que c'est un mauvais album. Par contre, je peux m'étaler sur pourquoi je n'aime pas ce genre d'album; l'instrumentation sonne tout droit sortis d'une banque de musiques stock, les paroles sont incompréhensibles et le fin filet de voix qui s'échappe de la bouche de la chanteuse sont des éléments me gossent jusqu'aux creux de mes veines et m'empêche d'apprécier le moment présent.

This was like listening to somebody sing out pages from their diary with ambient almost-dance computer music. I was a bit disappointed as F‘Twigs has brought out a couple of songs on other albums that I like. But nothing caught me here.

That was interesting and not bad. I'm not going to delete it right away and it will probably end up in the permanent collection

I really hated this. It was like, they've taken the worst kind of easy listening crap and made it electronic. Don't get it at all.

I'd say it's fine. The production is certainly the highlight and sounds really fantastic listening with quality earphones. I think what the album lacks is any sort of cohesive songwriting (a lot of repetition, probably to leave room for the production to shine) and really just weak hooks (the songs just ain't that catchy). 7/10

I remember this album coming out and all the buzz that was around it. I enjoyed this but was hoping for a bit more. It's a little less upbeat than I was expecting. Oh well. Decent listen.

Today's album is a weird one. I don't necessarily hate it, but don't know how I feel about it. It's like art pop mixed with trip hop and R&B. Kinda quirky like Bjork or Kate Bush, but more modern. More electronic influences, and you can tell that the music is more manufactured by laptops than created using instruments, which is a sound that I really have a problem with. Any cock weasel can stand behind a computer and press buttons, but it takes real talent to literally play those sounds using musical instruments. But irregardless of all that, she does have a beautiful voice. When the fuck did people forget how to name a band ffs.... All new bands these days have random capital letters, random spelling mistakes, and usually the word Lil in their name. Like.... Hey guys, my name is Lil MSHRUM cOk.... Listen to my shitty music please..... Fuck off. I looked up artists similar to her to see if any familiar artists were listed.... Nope. A bunch of weird random named "artists". Doechii..... Sevdaliza....Tinashe! 333...... Eco2k....... Wtf kinda names are these?!? I'm so out of my element. I really don't like modern pop. Favourite songs: Give Up, Kicks, Lights On Least favourite songs:... I didn't necessarily hate, but didn't care for most of this album. I can't really pick a Least favourite song because the whole record kind of ran together and I couldn't really focus on any of it. 2/5

I've been a huge fan of Twigs for some years now, and her art never gets old. LP1 is a strong output that should not be underestimated. I've always preferred MAGDALENE (2019), but LP1 (2014) is pretty impressive as well.

This was a nice counterpart to the Destiny's Child album I had yesterday. Doing similar things in mixing pop with a UK hip-hop edge, but it's also darker and more experimental.

This was interesting. Some okay mixing and looping, decent voice and a decent shot of the vibe she was going for. Not exactly my style. It almost vaguely feels like it's trying to influence the mood of the listener versus being direct on anything. I doubt I'll relisten. Not sure if this makes sense on the list.

I listened through once. I liked some music like this back when this came out, but this wasn't for me. I couldn't do a second listen.

Some pretty interesting effects, pretty impressive for a first album. Would be good with earbuds. Bjork, St. Vincent, FK twigs all have a thread running through them. There really wasn't a memorable tune.

Dig it, very good.

Never listened to this before but had been meaning to. Kind of what I expected, decent album but not really my thing. Fav tracks: Two Weeks, Kicks, Lights On

3.5 stars. More of an avant-garde electronica take on R&B which makes it an interesting listen. Lyrical themes centered on intimacy. Standout is the catchy "Two Weeks".

Weird, and I feel like there’s better executions of the same ideas (see Blood Orange)

I could not tell the difference in the songs after listening a few times. Not bad music but this feels like an attempt to put "modern" music in the book. Really chill sound, which is not intrusive, but hard to remember once I turned it off.

21st century albums have a great reputation on this list, especially from the 2010s.

I remeber when this album was on everyone's lists for AOTY. Back then I just didn't get it. Upon relistening 10 years later I kinda get it now. Some beautiful vocals that are honestly underutilized and a largely cohesive album, just not one that hits for me.

I had not previously heard of the artist or album. It's a bit out there. It has high pitched (maybe falsetto) R&B-leaning female vocals over a kind of sparse electronic pop instrumentation. A lot of the songs sound very similar to me. The top song didn't really stand out from any other songs on the album for me, but I can see why it would be popular as a single. As an album, this not really something I enjoyed or would see myself listening to again.

"LP1" is the debut album by English singer-songwriter FKA Twigs. Avant-garde pop, alternative R&B and electronic. All of those work. There were a lot producers used including Arca, Emile Haynie, Sampras, Devonte Hayes, Clams Casino, Cy An, Paul Epworth and FKA Twigs herself. The lyrics deal with sex, sexual relations and intimacy. The album had wide-spread critical acclaim and was nominated for 2014 Mercury Prize. Commercially, it hit #16 in the UK and #30 in the US. "Preface" opens the album with an echoing voice. There's an electronic drumbeat and various synth noises. This music is very robotic and futuristic sounding. The first single "Two Weeks" was produced by FKA Twigs and Emile Haynes. There's chanting and a stark electronic background. FKA is singing delicately and the vocals are layered. The synth melody and vocals build. Very mysterious sounding. She's moving away from a sexless relationship. The second single "Pendulum" continues the layered vocals. Knocking echoing percussion and synth keys. Emoitional and melancholy vocals as she is lonely trying to be a girlfriend. The third and final single "Video Girl" slows things down. There's an interesting electronic beat. FKA is trying to separate herself from the girl in the video (FKA Twigs was actually in a number of music videos). My favorite single might be "Give Up." There's the echoing synths and electronic drums but the melody is just great and the song builds. She's not going to let her lover give up on her. The music on this album is spacey, stark, druggy and futuristic. The songs use synths, an electronic drumbeat and FKA Twigs' vocals. I have to admit; the first time though this music sounded like something you'd hear in a very trending louge or restaurant. Upon repeated albums, the songs became hypnotic and I started noticing all the details and really appreciated the production and instrumentation. This is an easy album to listen to and worth the effort. I find her next full-length album, "Magdalene" even better.

It had a few good moments that I appreciated, but it is not something that I would seek out listening to again; not that it was unpleasant. I honestly don't know what genre of music this is.

Art pop? Minimalistic production lots of low key sounds and whisper singing. Abstract avant-pop? This came out in 2014 and certainly sounds like it could have come out yesterday in 2024 and would not be out of place at all. I've listened to this several times and I'm not sure what I think about it. I do think I need more time with it. I went and read some reviews and it turns out that it's a polarizing album. People either love it or hate it, but more people love it. 2/5

Surprise album for me ! I didn't know anything about this group. Most of songs are interesting and fascinating, Added to my Lounge folder To re-listening again 4/5

I liked this! Pretty different than anything I've heard before.

Can't work out if this is genius or whether it falls into the same category that Alt J/the XX etc did - 2010s breathy alternative pop that sounds immensely deep but after 10 listens you realise it's actually quite shallow. Ill have this on rotation to check but it could go either way - I'll start off by going down the middle. This could very easily be a 2 or a 4 by next week.

Vet ikke om det er rart eller bra

FKA Twigs... She sings very well with a lot of feeling, but somehow doesn't leave me feeling anything. There are lots of interesting sounds an rhythms, but I was bored after a couple of songs. It just felt like a music student composing and performing a piece that ticks all the boxes to get a good grade.... But it don't sound good.

I hated this so much

Das Cover sagt „Finger weg!“ Stimmt! Grausam!

Interesting 3/5

I found this to be another hipster album. It close to what i call Noise pop. Most famous artist is Flume that is can think of. The songs tend to get annoying after a while. I wishi FKA twigs would let her voice shine as she has a great one, but this whispery singing is definitely not my style. Overall, listen to it once but i wont be back for seconds.

Not my sort of thing although I appreciate the artist's talent.

Bro this shit is a bunch of doo doo 💩 💩💩💩🕴🏻

4.0

Was vibing with this a bit, but overall feel it’s one of those artsy albums that gets a lot of praise, but one that’d I’d never think to listen to again. Almost like an Oscar movie which definitely has artistic appeal, but not broad appeal.

Generally a good album. Not my usual style of music but I mostly enjoyed it. The lyrics were good. My favorite song was Video Girl. It’s probably nothing I’ll come back to, but I can appreciate it

No

I actually liked it a surprising amount. I thought it was going to be rap, but it ended up being quite nice.

The same people who hate the harsh, processed synth sound would've loved it if it were done by some underground new wave band no one's heard of.

Artsy but lacked a hook to pull me in.

One of the few new albums on this list that I listened to it twice. At my first listen I had some things to do and I listened to it in the background. Since I didn't remember anything I listened to it once again. It's not a bad thing that I didn't remember it - it didn't distract me and it wasn't annoying either. In fact at my second listen I thought it's quite an intereseting avantgarde/pop/electro album. The production is really good. I don't think I loved it enough for a 4 but it's close to it; overall it was a good surprise.

Interesting, but no.

Irritating.

Should be commended for some of the interesting stuff she does electronically, but overall didn't really land for me. I didn't find the ambience as sensual as I think I was intended to. I wasn't aware that this website covered modern editions of the book, so that should be interesting for the future.

hard to get into but so so so good once you do.

Strange and extravagant. Went to the grimes school of music. Sometimes gets a bit lost in the crazy atmosphere of the album. I’m glad she’s since done more pop-focused projects, she’s got the chops for it! I think she deserves more mainstream recognition for the space she’s carved out for herself in contemporary music.

Inte min grej. Första låten lät lite som aphex twin men det blev snabbt ointressant.

Ok, by track three I’m already checking how much longer I have to listen to this. So boring. It feels too manufactured. It’s trying too hard to be interesting, and really just giving me a headache. It’s like an album of falsetto ASMR. Irritating.

Not my thing but I've heard worse.

Generally pretty okay, with nice production but not super unique melodies. One song I think was called ‘Two Weeks’ I remember from an annoying ad, though, so there’s that.

This is a serious album and it shows a high degree of intelligence. There are real highs here and there is real innovation here. I don't love it, but I am impressed by it. The biggest challenge it doesn't overcome for me personally is that it's a female vocalist with R&B vibes. That formula has never been winning for me personally and has never had a home in my ears. Besides that, this one is very interesting, and worthy of praise.

A 2010s album that didn’t immediately get removed from the list! Likely because FKA Twig’s debut is fresh and genre-bending. It’s described as avant pop, alternative R&B, and electronic, but it also gives off lots of trip-hop vibes. I enjoyed “LP1” more and more as it progressed, and then went back for several more listens over the next week. A much buzzed about artist that lives up to the hype, glad to have been finally pushed to check her work out. A very strong ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, and a few more listens might even push it into ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ territory.

Great find, reminds me a little of the song Roads on Portishead's Dummy. A modernized 90s trip hop vibe, I dig it.

Very much reminds me of Björk. Not necessarily the music, but rather the feeling, the avant-garde-ness. It’s thought provoking through its musical paradigm change. It’s also odd enough that I’m not so sure I enjoyed the music as I appreciated the feeling of listening to it if that makes sense.

Kende haar niet maar dit album bevalt mij wel.

Honestly, I love the name of the album and the artist more than the music. Not that it's difficult to listen to. It's rather pleasant, but there's not a lot to hang my hat on here. It's ethereal. I've used that word a lot.

Lush electronic soundscape. I am intrigued by the layered music and cool beats. Her waify voice goes well with the music, but because there really aren't any catchy melodies or driving music, its a bit hard to "get into it"... it seems more atmospheric and kind of a background music vibe. Worth listening to.

Quite enjoyed, but only as a background tinkle. Favourite track: Kicks

She could have a good voice but it's hard to tell with the autotune. Not really my thing.

2/10. Nice voice just not for me

I can definitely see the appeal and did enjoy some parts of a couple of the songs but overall didn’t enjoy the album.

Not for me.

Background music. Nothing that stands out.

All sounded pretty generic

This was initially exciting, but ultimately it was 10 indistinguishable tracks

Immaculate vibes. Didn't feel like any of the melodies transcended, but good listen all the same.

2.6 As a fan of electronic music, I appreciated some of the elements involved. Granular synths, glitchy off beat drums caught my ears for sure. Did not love the vocals on this album again. Just felt flat for the most part. 2.6 may even be a little generous but I did like the track ‘Two Weeks’ produced by the legend Clams Casino. Will probably never listen to the album again, but that’s alright I guess.

This album was pretty mid. I enjoyed listening to it, but it didn't do anything special. I was waiting for a song to bring the album home but it never came. Gave a nice lofi/R&B vibe to read to, but nothing much more than that. Favorite track was Give Up. Did not add to my Spotify library.

If I was opening up a brand new H & M at a local mall and was looking for some music to play inside of it, this would be a 5. While I can appreciate the production value of the album I have no desire to listen to any of it ever again. This is white woman music and I am not a white woman. The only time I can consider ever listening to this album again is if I picked up some artsy coed and she put it on her JBL speaker while I am balls deep in her.

1/10. Next

Honestly didn’t even have time but definitely gave me Grassi music vibes

There was not enough Sydney Sweeny in this episode of Euphoria. Although the production is pretty darn good here, it sometimes sounds like they recorded this album in the echoed bowels of the sewers. And she had to whisper sing to keep the ghouls and goblins from finding her.

not my thing

Horrible album cover, doesn;t even listen.

NNot my cup of tea. H&M music

First time I’ve even heard of this artist. Interesting listen.

A couple of tracks in this was heading to ones ville but Two Weeks is a very good song, probably the second best song with the same title. And there was enough about the rest to ultimately drag it to a 3

Well produced but that's it. Maybe I'm just not cool enough.

Best Song: Kicks. This really felt like the culmination of all the best parts of the album: the strongest vocal performance and the most ambitious production. Worst Song: Closer. The only song on which I found the production annoying. Kind of sounded like Baby Yoshi was jumping on the track. Overall: Excellent production, and I thought the vocals were mostly interesting but I did start to fatigue on that how much of the vocals sat in that upper register.

Listened 3/13/24. I listened to the first half and then listened to about the first minute of the remaining tracks. No idea why this has received such acclaim. It is well produced, but I found it boring.

Album felt dark.

A fine art pop release that is a tad glitchy for my ears.

I’m open to all types of music but this doesn’t satisfy in any way. There’s no momentum to it, there’s no stand out song. It’s like it’s meant to be music for wales. Her voice often stays in the higher tone as she rambles over a collage of musical instruments. If this was the album that got her noticed then excuse me, I have music to make.

Repetitive

strange 2 stars

great artist, good album 3.7

Didn't like it. Didn't get it.

First listen Saved 6/10: Lights On Hours Pendulum Video Girl Numbers Kicks

I like it, would I reach for it though? I will ponder that further.

Stop pretending to like things that you think will make you seem cool

I’ve listened to - and very much enjoyed - her album “Magdalene,” but I hadn’t heard this one before. While still very good, it seemed a little more meandering than Magdalene, and I didn’t enjoy it quite as much. Ethereal and haunting, if a little lacking in substance.

this one is not for me, I absolutely prefer Magdalene, her album after this one, but here the experiments are not resonating with me. I want more songs, in a way that is kinda close to songwriting, that's why I think Lights On is a perfect song here, it experiments with sound over an expansive and great production while also giving you wonderful verses and a great hook

Not bad but not really my thing

Cool

This was horrible. If I were trapped in a haunted dollhouse - this would be the soundtrack.

Ok, techno-pop with naughty lyrics. I'll give it a go........ Not for me. I found this somber and uninvolving. Music to sleep by.

not for me

Very good

fada sinestésica!!! essas fãs racistas do Robert Pattinson têm que tomar tudo no cu!

Maravilhoso!! Ótimo. Delicioso de ouvir... Gorgeous.

FINALMENTE uma artista solo feminina. E a FKA ainda. Que produção, o álbum passou voando.

forwarding thinking bed room pop with synthetic glitches, chords, and artificial sound that makes for a soundscape of computer-y love songs that have a very real lyricism that contrasts the sound.

great voice, terrible lyrics

Waaaaaay too low key/low energy/passive for me.

Atmospheric, ethereal and all around pretty interesting listen. 3.5 stars

Very ambitious young woman with loads of talent. Hope she has staying power—she seems to have a lot of support. I’m too far past my ability to keep up with the dizzying array of niche artists that populate the music scene now, but I liked her stamina and grit. Glad I listened—I wish her success in her career and personal relationships.

This feels extremely generic to me. It got better as it went on and I can see it's value as a vibe, but I'm not sure it's distinct enough from similar pop to help me understand it's place here.

It's a good album, but outside of the 4-5 standout tracks every song sounds the same.

I'm old. I can't hang with modern pop music. It's just so... bad. This is a *bit* more interesting and creative than some but it's still shit I would never choose to listen to.

I think I gave this more of a cursory listen than it deserves but Two Weeks took me straight back to driving around in the Ashcroft truck with Triple J blaring. Ultimately a bit too atmospheric for me but definitely in the same universe as Alt J etc from that time.

Decent for background music.

wow this was bad. not much of a discernable rhythm, it felt like more of a mish-mash of electronica and vocals than anything arranged. Maybe it sounds better on heroin.

This is the soundtrack to a sad lap dance from your goth girlfriend

Pretty ethereal and spare. 3 stars.

Such an interesting artist! I'm glad this project introduced me to her work. Beautiful, unusual, and creative songs on this album. Superb performances, too. Love it. Will need to find more of her music.

This is the kind of music that would annoy me if I heard it in a restaurant or a shop.

Good dance album, and I think I'd used a song on my workout playlist before.

Not great

Interesting but too one-noteish for me

Not my style

This album is… interesting. I love how Twigs’ voice compliments the sparse instrumentals very well. This album just flows with a combination of the two, and the result is very intriguing. Certain songs on the album kind of overstimulate me, like “Numbers”, but the album as a cohesive whole is very minimalist. I appreciate the songwriting, too. I really like a lot of the layered electronic elements from this album, but a lot of the songs almost sound the same (if you take key and BPM factors into consideration). Overall, it’s a decent album. Would I listen to it again? Probably not. 3.5/5 Fav: “Video Girl”, “Give Up” Least Fav: “Numbers”

I wanted to like this more...

I'm just having a hard time because her voice is so... breathy. It's making it hard to tell what she's singing. And because of that, the songs blurred together a LOT. A lot of them had very abrupt endings, like she couldn't tell how to end them. I kinda liked the riff in "Closer". Otherwise... nope, not feeling it. Next.

Meh. A little bit of a trippy sound, decent vocals. Not sure everything has to be high-pitched or like she's inhaling though. Got a little monotonous. I guess I didn't dislike it. More background music.

Somehow or another this was Time's Album of the Year in 2014. Don't know what that says about 2014. Not a big fan. Lots of weirdness, plus lyrics that are a bit ugh. Sorry, I like my sexual innuendos to actually have innuendo. Moments that I liked: Lights On (weird moments, but I liked the acoustic bass and the vibe in the chorus), Closer (generally a good track but still has weirdness), and Give Up (had to get pretty far through the album to find songs I liked).

I tried. I really did. There’s nothing here. Hollow sounds.

My expectations for this were very tempered, honestly because though I've heard of FKA twigs, I had no idea what their music sanded like. But I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed this quite a bit from the get go. Once I got a sense of pretty quickly on the first track, I just sat back and enjoyed it. Obviously a talented artist. Not really for me by any means but this was great.

This is definitely not my style. Too random, too breathy, to un-focused.

Surprisingly good!

The layers and depth of sound is enthralling. This is music that could drag you down in a good way. Not really my thing, but I can appreciate the attention to detail that went into the creation. Amazing artist.

I can feel magic in this album

I don't like using word 'beautiful' in recs because what does it even mean? But I don't know how else describe this album, every single song was simply beautiful and I loved it from first to last second.

There is nothing interesting for me. Music is too minimalistic. I don't enjoy that type of vocal.

Dreamy elektro RnB, gar nicht meins

Eh.

Favorites were "Lights On" and "Kicks"

good sound, not my taste

Interesting but nothing grabbed me tbh. I just plodded through my listen (2.5/5)

Really cool, inventive and weird pop record. I think she topped it with Magdalena though!

Twigs' vulnerability is transcendent. I first heard Two Weeks listing to a mix, and stopped what I was doing to listen to the full album. There's a paradoxical intimacy to the lyrics and delivery that, even though it was released as an album, it makes me feel like I've stumbled on someone's private diary, and I shouldn't be listening to this because I'm crossing someone's boundaries. Incredible work.

Only listened once. Sounds quite beautiful but in a soundscape avant garde sort of way, hard to get in to but even though it's not feels more like jazz.

Boring

Futuristic neo-soul, something to listen to while you watch the city lights through the rain on the window of your sleeping pod.

Sounds a bit too forced artsy

I'm not sure if it's ethical to keep a woman on the edge of orgasm for the recording of an entire album but now we know what it sounds like.

Meh

Highly produced, very good sound quality, but it kinda felt like I was just on xanax the whole time

puh puh puh - not my style

"Two Weeks" was kind of cool back then, but now it's a bit worn out, like the rest of the album.

Oh hell no.

Discount purity ring

I liked this. Took 2-3 tracks to find my ear and then as it ended I just played it again. 4

Intro and the first song on this album sounded very promising, I was actually visualising myself liking r'n'b for the first time, but well, it all turn to same old story after that. I do think that LP1 is a pretty original album, with unique style that I haven't heard before, but that didn't mean I would like to hear it at all. It was just a bit too much for my liking, music stuck on a loop, with vocalist that has constipation problems, or at least has an issue with use of words. I'll give it a 3, but only because I like those first two songs.

How to create a "modern classic": 1. Record a completely generic pop album (make sure to not put any effort into the vocals); 2. Put random glitchy beep-boops everywhere; 3. You're now officially avantgarde and experimental, congratulations on the 9/10 Pitchfork review. Fake weirdness. TikTok music. A slab of processed ham wrapped in gold foil is still a slab of processed ham. 2/5 because the first two songs were actually promising.

Maybe a 4.5, I dunno, but the way experimental early 10s dance music is fused into pop forms is so mesmerising. On this relisten, the interpolation of Air Supply's "I'm all out of love" as it drops into Two Weeks is a levitational moment.

Interesting.

Started listening on my phone only, big mistake as couldn't hear the lush fuller bass sounds. This is a good album I think, but not really "my sort of thing". Interesting

Totally new to this artist; really enjoyed and was intrigued by the first couple of tracks and I do think it’s a decent album overall. The effect was lessened by the lack of variety in pace/delivery from track to track however, so what I thought at the start could have been close to a 9/10 ended up more like a 6.

An artist I knew of but don’t know. I found it quite difficult to listen to. I doubt I’ll be listening again

Slaps.

Trippy opening on 1st cut - as 2nd cut opens up, this is an album made for headphones. "When I trust you we can do it with the lights on" - repeat ad nauseum. "Higher than a motherfucker dreaming of you as my lover" "I can fuck you better than her" "My thighs are apart for when you're ready to breathe in". It sounds like she has a good voice (kind of like Enya?), but juvenile lyrics and crappy computer music leave me embarrassed for the many many people who apparently dig this shit. Maybe it's a generational thing, but please.... Overall, I would rate this album as fucking awful. My impression by the middle of song #3 is that this album is designed for a different market than me (ya think?). Background soft porn music for being exceedingly high and having sex. While wearing headphones, so I don't know exactly how that would all work out. Good luck. __________________________________ 🎧 # of LPs reviewed: 14 🎧 # of LPs left to review: 987 🎧 # of LPs I found great/relevant enough to be mandatory listens: 3 🎧 # of LPs I *might* include in my own list: 6 🎧 # of LPs I will certainly *not* include in mine: 4

Avant-pop. Bien, sin más. De hecho, gracias a ella he conocido a Kwamie Liv, que me gusta mucho más.

Nice kinda ethereal melancholy

I did not enjoy this record at all.

J’aime beaucoup la voix et son traitement, qui ne l’objectifie ni ne l’enjolive pas, qui n’est pas trop appuyé. Textures et ambiances incarnées

Something there, but not for me 2

Really enjoying the production on this album. Her voice is perfect for the weird beats, clicks and sounds that create an unsettling beautiful atmosphere.

Another discovery.

Boring and easily forgettable. Half way through the second track I was waiting for the album to kick off and it never did. Very tough to get through the whole album.

A bit strange but kinda vibey

At first I thought her voice was going to be like Bjork but sadly it was more like a mix between Brittney Spears and Billie Eilish. I wanted to like this but I feel like she was trying so hard to be good. The background music was fine and my favorite song was where she wasn't really singing. Didn’t enjoy 2/10

Very similar vibes to Bjork but without the accent. The melodies have a strange ambience to them but are done in a way I enjoy. I can’t say exactly why I like this album as much as I do. But I do. Didn’t like it as much the second time I listened to it. 6/10

Didn't really hate it but wow it just blends into 1 song that goes on for 40 minutes. This would good to listen to in the background of a movie or tv show but nothing I would seek out intentionally. I thought the music itself sounded fine and wasn't too off putting. Overall a meh. 4/10

This is some of the worst shit I have ever heard in my life. Every single song was overproduced, over sexualized garbage. The beats are generic crap that play on a cheap drum machine from Walmart and even then they can’t keep a beat. Half of the sounds that aren’t electronic noise are out of tune. Her breathy voice is so fucking annoying, her tempo is dog shit, and her lyrics are horrible, like they were written by a confident teenager who thinks they have talent. I actually struggled to make it through this repetitive STD of an album. 1/10
