FKA Twigs is feeling pensive…
The 31-year-old part-Spanish singer has released the single “Sad Day,” the fourth cut to arrive from her long awaited sophomore album, Magdalene.
FKA Twigs lightly sings through heartbreak, as bombastic 808s mimic explosives going off in a warzone to fill the chaotic background.
“Would you make a, make a, make a wish on my love,” she sorrowfully repeats on the chorus.
“When I wrote my first album I was 23, and when I wrote my second album I was 30,” she told Billboard of her growth as a songwriter since her debut. “I think I’ve always been truthful, but I’ve been digging deeper for Magdalene; I knew I didn’t want to release any new music until I’d found the bottom of the well.”
FKA Twigs’ new album will be released this Friday, November 8 via Young Turks.
The LP1 artist continues her North American tour this week with a show in Seattle.
