I do think that LP1 kind of drowns in its influences a bit, especially James Blake and Aaliyah. Pretty much every song has a really beautiful hook, but songs like "Lights On" and "Kicks" are really special. I also think LP1 excels in having really catchy, pretty melodies for choruses. There are so many layers to the lyrical content, and it's just beautiful. Sensual lines like "Two Weeks"'s "my thighs are open for when you're ready to breathe in" (WOWZERS) juxtapose really nicely with lines that show her loneliness like "Kicks"'s "I love my touch". I think the lyrical content is fantastic, really nicely illustrating Twigs as both a sensual, sensitive lover but also an extremely depressed loner. Vincent) as my number 1 album of the year, I don't think it's quite a 10 out of 10. FKA Twigs is one of the most ambitious artists active.
