FKA twigs has revealed details on her upcoming album and announced new music that should be out this week.
The British musician has been recording and writing the album in lockdown, and on January 25, twigs guested on the Grounded podcast from documentary maker Louis Theroux to speak about the album in more detail.
“Over lockdown I wrote an album, all over the internet,” twigs said. “All working with people I’ve never worked with before. I’ve got more collaborations and features on this album than I’ve ever had before. The majority of the people I’ve never met in real life. We spent a lot of time with each other over FaceTime. It’s a real product of 2020. It’s about being able to have my work represent landmarks in time. To make an album over FaceTime is the epitome of an artist being isolated and still having the desire to make work. So I felt that I did that.”
“My next music is, ironically, a lot lighter than the usual music that I make,” she said, when asked about her former partner Shia LaBeouf and whether the album will reflect her past experience with him. “I spent so much time in darkness with him [LaBeouf] that in lockdown I’ve been missing my friends and going out, getting ready, and dancing. I’ve wanted to make music for the people closest to me that I love.”
The first hint at the new project will arrive as soon as this week. Twigs took to Instagram to notify her fans, asking “did someone say they wanted new music?” and adding: “might have something for you this week…”
