FKA twigs is an auteur in the truest sense. A British singer, songwriter, producer and dancer, Tahliah Barnett may have entered the music industry as a dancer and model (you can spot her in videos from Ed Sheeran and Jessie J) before she embraced her new moniker (she was known as 'twigs' for her lithe-like figure) and became a sensation of the UK fashion press.
twigs's first album, LP1, was released like a revelation in 2014. A sleek and sexual experimental re-imagining of what pop music could sound like, bold tracks like Two Weeks marked twigs out as an innovator, as did a nomination for that year's Mercury Prize. There was a bit of a wait for a follow-up record, but 2019's MAGDALENE was a statement of intent and then some. A break-up record so savage and raw, you could feel her heart beating out of her chest.
The light was lt in on 2022's fun, party mixtape CAPRISONGS, before 2025's EUSEXUA saw twigs step into the bone-shattering waters of New Age dance-pop on tracks like Perfect Stranger, Drums of Death and the Bjork-esque title track.
