EP1

The Guardian4/ 5 stars

“Barnett’s music is the latest chapter in the ongoing transatlantic vogue for barely-there R&B, and this album joins her two previously released EPs in providing the subgenre with new heights”

Spin9/ 10

“In its menacing incandescence, LP1 sounds like nothing else in the world right now”

musicOMH

“Over the course of the 10 tracks here FKA twigs often leaves you enraptured, however, what’s arguably even more promising is the sense that this fascinating artist can go in any sort of direction from here and achieve even greater heights”

Clash

“Fragile, heavenly and utterly compelling; this debut paves the way for boundaries-pushing pop”

The A.V. ClubA-

“Few debuts possess such control and ambition all in one; LP1 is the rare album that manages to sound both lived in and completely futuristic”

NME8/ 10

“Adding to the prickly excitement, Twigs pitches sound against silence, lending her songs a cosmic eeriness”

Rolling Stone3.5/ 5 stars

“An album where emotion meets physicality”

Slant Magazine

“The production is claustrophobic, the message is stifling. Intimacy is how the worst of oneself becomes the best they have to offer”

The Independent5/ 5 stars

“FKA Twigs emerges the high priestess of R&B’s latest corruption, and the world will kneel at the altar”

Pitchfork8.8/ 10

“Her voice, the most awe-inspiring instrument on the album, flits between Auto-Tuned artifice and raw carnality”

AllMusic5/ 5 stars

“Rating only. No review”

“The record’s successes, its thrills and intimations of where FKA twigs could go with more time and cash on hand, more than make up for its weak spots”
