FKA twigs has spilled some details about her new album in a recent conversation with fans on her Discord server, as DJ Mag points out. In addition to confirming that it’s “coming out this year,” the British artist revealed the project is techno in “spirit.”
During the chat, FKA twigs said she was celebrating her 36th birthday by working on the album in the studio with her frequent collaborator, electronic musician Koreless. “I moved to Prague a couple summers ago, fell in love with techno. The album isn’t techno but the spirit is there fr,” she said, about its inspiration.
FKA twigs added that she “mainly” worked with Koreless on the album, along with some other “talented friends,” but plans to scale back on guest appearances compared to her “collab heavy” 2022 mixtape CAPRISONGS. She also noted the project is “deep but not sad” because “I’m not sad anymore.”
Last October, FKA twigs previewed the upcoming album by premiering the single “Unearth Her” during Valentino’s recent Paris Fashion Week show. Just a week later, however, twigs said she was going “back to the drawing board” after 85 of her demos leaked online.
FKA twigs’ last studio album, MAGDALENE, was released in 2019.
This summer, FKA twigs is slated to play Primavera Sound in Barcelona alongside headliners Lana Del Rey, Pulp, and SZA. Get your passes here.
