Taming the idiosyncratic electronics.

Oops, what's that? Amazed and fascinated at the same time I was after the first listening to this CD. Extremely extravagant electronic soundscapes blowing a here around the ears, hypnotic and fascinating at the same. Of course catchiness sounds different, and so the sound demands the full attention of the listener. Now this is only one component that stands out right away, another is the brilliant voice of the singer seems to float above the music. The song and its sound technical framing seem at first contradictory, but FKA twigs brings Both miraculously together. A few ingenious and catchy melodies are here conjured up fast times from his sleeve and sung with devotion and fervor, in this way the idiosyncratic sound is as it were tamed. The songs all operate according to this model, although they sound very different and varied in itself.

LP1 is an album in which the song does not work without the sound, and the sound without the vocals. In the first case it would be any pop or RNB album an added equipped with a horny voice singer, in the second case an electronic experimental album with extremely difficult access. But because FKA twigs Both combined brilliantly, we have here a great and modern music, as one so do not listen all day. Perhaps the music can be compared most closely with that of James Blake, who has similar approaches in his musical work. At times I feel reminiscent of Björk. But actually, you can not compare FKA twigs, it is probably an art form that is created here. And just when the song CLOSER, the mutated with angels singing to the genius piece of music only because the sounds from schwulstigem hit, I remember nothing like it. In addition to the mentioned CLOSER I find most successful titles GIVE UP and two weeks, but the rest emits eerie fascination.

Incidentally, this is the first CD that I've bought unheard only because of the other reviews and I was not disappointed, on the contrary, rather more surprised.
