After a first effort of dark sensuality in 2014 (LP1) and a second even darker one, Magdalene,two years ago, where is FKA twigs? ” Hey, I made you a mixtape “, she announces on Ride the Dragon, exchange between his undulating falsetto and the voice full of effects of a monstrous presence: superb opening. First observation: the British artist openly flirts with pop and dares his most luminous proposal. The collaborations are linked (one title out of two), some of which with the cream of current R&B: the Canadian Daniel Caesar, Jorja Smith and his exceptional vocal velvet. Even The Weeknd is in the game. The rattling trap and meticulousness with which Twigs has made its mark doesn’t fade in favor of accessibility. Integrated into the plot, the advice of benevolent friends to recover from a heartbreak contribute to the positive energy of this fluid sideboard with a high-caliber production, interspersed with nods to the codes of mix tape. A beautiful candy.
