I Listened to Caprisongs by FKA Twigs

While I started my blogging year with historical nonfiction, on the music side, the first thing I listened to was Caprisongs, FKA Twigs’s mixtape released on January 14th. 

Mixtapes can be hit or miss for me; after all it’s a place where experimentation with style and genre can (and often does) occur. So when they’re good they’re good. Some of my favorites have been Magdalena Bay’s Mini Mix vol. 1 & vol. 2, as well as Angel Haze’s Reservation. And Caprisongs falls right in with some of the best I’ve listened to.

When FKA Twigs releases something new, I know I’m in for a good time. With features including Pa Salieu and The Weeknd (among a handful of others), Caprisongs delivered everything I was looking for. Proceeded by two singles—Tears In The Club featuring The Weeknd and Jealousy featuring Rema—FKA Twigs’s genre-bending style and distinct vocals were front and center.

I listened to Caprisongs in one sitting, and I enjoyed every minute of it. From the splashy intro (Ride The Dragon), to the features (Honda, Tears In The Club, Papi Bones, Which Way, etc.), and to its excellent conclusion (Thank You Song). This is a mixtape I’ll be listening to again.

Music Monday (184): Tierra Whack, FKA twigs, Central Cee, Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire

Breana: And we're back! I hope everyone had a great holiday. I enjoyed my extended break from blogging, but I'm looking to get back into the swing of things starting with one of my favorite weekly memes: Music Monday. 

My pick for today is Body of Water by Tierra Whack. It's from her Pop? EP that released in December 2021 (I have a post that better explains my thoughts about Whack's recent releases scheduled for later this month).

 

Adri: My pick is Measure of a Man by FKA twigs featuring Central Cee.

Andrea: Hi all, this week I am listening to Does He Love You by Reba McEntire featuring Dolly Parton. Have an amazing week!
