2014《時代周刊》年度排行榜盤點

4、Top 1 Album 最佳專輯
LP1, FKA twigs FKA twigs(羅伯特·帕丁森的現(xiàn)女友)的《LP1》

After spending a few years working as a backup dancer for the likes of Kylie Minogue, Jessie J and Ed Sheeran, FKA twigs - the stage name of British recording artist Tahliah Barnett - stepped into the spotlight herself. She followed up two critically acclaimed EPs with her first full-length, LP1, but unlike the stars she’s danced for, Barnett’s debut album was anything but easy pop listening. Equal parts delicate and disorienting as Barnett moved between high-pitched whispers to digitally distorted moans, LP1 stood out as one of the year’s most impressive debuts for its mercurial, genre-agnostic instrumentation and provocative lyrics about seizing control of her sexuality. No wonder Google recruited her to star in a Google Glass advertisement - LP1 isn’t just an album, it’s an immersive sensory experience。

紅極一時的FKA twigs出道前曾給凱利·米洛、Jessie J、艾德·希蘭等大牌歌手擔任伴舞。繼發(fā)表了廣受好評的兩張EP后，神婆首次發(fā)表了新專輯《LP1》。該張專輯并不是走通俗上口的流行音樂路線，專輯中是緩慢流動的欲望與綿密低語，F(xiàn)KA twigs在厚重的詞曲意像中，透過纖細婉轉(zhuǎn)的嗓音唱出了情愛欲望，破碎零散、呢喃飄忽。無怪乎Google眼鏡邀請她代言：LP1不只是一張專輯，它是一次身臨其境的感官體驗。
