FKA twigs
The opener reminds me of early Grimes, especially the vocals in the intro. That isn’t to say twigs copied someone here, because she puts her spin on anything that inspires her and eventually gives birth to something totally new.
This minimalist pop sound she’s using with minimal instrumentation while making heavy use of various frequencies of bass is a stark contrast to her sophomore MAGDALENE. She combines this minimalist instrumentation with very intense production throughout the chorus. Take the electric guitar sample or the car alarm for instance.
This style of production is consistent throughout the album. On Two Weeks, she employs low-frequency synths that guide the entire song, but intensify during the chorus.
Her sound is very distinctly her with everything she does and being able to see her career as a whole as a new listener is a privilege. I’ve always said we needed more innovation in pop music and it turns out I was just not looking for it properly.
