FKA Twigs Flexes on Adventurous Mixtape

FKA twigs has released Caprisongs, a mixtape described as a playful and adventurous flex. This project ventures into a unique blend of genres, incorporating elements of choral music, Afrobeats, schoolyard chants, and squeak-rapping.

Collaborations on Caprisongs include features from Jorja Smith and Shygirl, with El Guincho serving as executive producer. FKA twigs has framed the mixtape as a personal journey of self-discovery facilitated by her collaborators and friends. The title itself reflects her identity as a "Capricorn sun."

The mixtape's compositions are characterized by their errant and shapeshifting nature, moving swiftly through distinct sonic territories. Opener "ride the dragon" transitions abruptly, leading into tracks like "honda," which contrasts celestial harmonies with a grounded beat.

FKA twigs demonstrates a remarkable vocal versatility throughout Caprisongs. She moves from her signature wispy falsetto to speak-talking sass, akin to Cher Lloyd, and experiments with squeak-rapping styles reminiscent of 645AR, and even resembles Jeremih on "lightbeamers." Other tracks, such as "meta angel" and "darjeeling," showcase influences from artists like Charli XCX.
