Interestingly, for as successful as LP1 was, the 2015 EP M3LL155X is what saw her achieve her artistic zenith and assume the form that we now witness with Magdalene – she’s darker than ever and the additional presence of glitchy, codified production adds a chaotic sense of contrast to her gorgeously smooth vocals. At its best, it could be considered an R&B landscape-altering piece – an album that would have a large impact on other artists within the genre for the remaining half of the decade. LP1 is mostly to thank for her seizure of that platform, which took the slowly evolving sounds of her first two EPs and curated them to near-perfection. The roundabout point here is that whatever you consider FKA Twigs to be – R&B, electronic, trip-hop, “art pop” – Tahliah Barnett is a key influencer in what her peers do. Sometimes that spotlight only lasts for an album or two before someone more innovative knocks them off of their figurative pedestal it’s perpetually in flux. Every musical field is an elusive and constantly shifting set of paradigms, but at all times someone seems to serve as the figurehead for the movement. I don't understand the hype behind this singer, to be honest.An oft-overlooked aspect of music is which artists truly have a voice in the direction and shaping of their genre. Uses some autotune here and there as well. There isn't much here that you haven't already heard in LP1 (another overrated album of hers). She tries so hard to be seductive and artsy, but she always comes off as a try-hard. Y'all should write for Pitchfork! Lol For real though, M3LL155273627187236726182X (3artsy5me) is just simply more of the same from one of the most overrated pop singers out at the moment. We should be able to listen and judge for ourselves rather than having how artistic it is hammered in our heads several times. Has anyone ever noticed how anyone reviewing anything by FKA Twigs talks about how said album is "art" and then reiterate about how its "art" and it's artistic merits. Do you see that she is too ARTistic to even spell "Melissa"? That is ART. Her wonderful combination of hip-hop and Very disappointed.
