FKA twigs ends months of speculation by announcing details of her highly anticipated second album. Titled MAGDALENE, the album will be released on 25th October 2019 and is the follow up to FKA twigs’ critically acclaimed Brit Award and Mercury Prize nominated debut LP1.
Indie edition is pressed on Red Vinyl.
Created in a period where her confidence was knocked following heartbreak and laparoscopic surgery, MAGDALENE is the sound of twigs reconfiguring, emotionally and physically. As she sings on ‘Mary Magdalene’, the MAGDALENE album track that opened her highly-praised, sold-out live shows earlier in the year, “A woman’s time / A woman’s work / A woman’s time to embrace / She must put herself first”.
MAGDALENE is produced by FKA twigs and, as with LP1, the recording process has been directed by her at every stage. It was recorded between London, New York and Los Angeles over the last three years and features major contributions from Nicolas Jaar alongside a host of other collaborators. MAGDALENE sees FKA twigs creating a whole new artistic universe and it is, without doubt, her most masterful, innovative work to date.

Having finished “The Long Term Tour”, Jay-Jay started working on the next album. Probably, he was much inspired by his child's birth... “Self-Portrait” contains as much Jay-Jay’s personal feelings as possible for an artists revealing his soul to the audience. The album promises to surprise even the most devoted fans. This work is a compilation of all experience Jay-Jay has obtained over these years. It is a musical biography of the vulnerable, unconventional man who brought romance and decadence back to music.
