FKA twigs' sophomore album, MAGDALENE, is a masterful blend of art pop and alternative R&B, showcasing her innovative songwriting and production skills. Released on 8 November 2019 through Young Turks, this 38-minute album is her first full-length project in five years, following her 2015 EP M3LL155X and 2014's LP1.
MAGDALENE features a sole guest appearance from American rapper Future, with FKA twigs taking the reins as producer, alongside a range of co-producers including Nicolas Jaar.

With its cinematic soundscapes and affecting production, MAGDALENE is a testament to FKA twigs' boundless creativity and skill as a singer, producer, and performer. This album is a must-listen for fans of innovative and experimental music, and solidifies FKA twigs' position as a leading figure in the art pop and alternative R&B genres.
