Listen to FKA twigs’ BBC Radio 1 Maida Vale session

Ahead of the release of her debut album ‘LP1’, FKA twigs arrived at BBC’s Maida Vale studios for an interview with Zane Lowe and a performance of three tracks.

Tahliah Barnett discussed her beginnings as a dancer and her transition towards music, before running through ‘Two Weeks’, ‘Give Up’ and ‘Pendulum’, the album centrepiece that was unveiled last week.

FKA twigs’ ‘LP1’ is out 7th August on Young Turks. The album is streaming in full on iTunes.

In DIY’s 4 star review of the record, we said: “Barnett’s throwing every inch of her upbringing into an album at once, that she’s as nonplussed as the rest of us as to what’ll emerge from the melting pot. It’s not perfect, but anything this expressive and personally vital rarely is.”
