Tahlia lays herself so bare you want to cover her up so she doesn’t catch a chill. It’s on repeated listens her ineffable vision becomes clearer — she is a holy mystery unto herself.” – Herald Sun, Album Of The Week ★★★★★
“It’s hard to see this as anything less than a landmark work from an artist operating at the height of her power. Befitting its title, Magdalene is a triumph born from nothing less than pure devotion.” – The Saturday Paper
“FKA twigs’ sonic outlook continues to be one fully defined in her vision.” – The Big Issue, ★★★★
“Magdalene is a personal triumph over adversity.” – The Music, ★★★★
“FKA twigs is a pioneering voice and leading light.” – STACK
“a masterpiece” – The Sunday Times
“MAGDALENE is as holistically complete as any pop record released this decade … an exceptional and empowering account of an artist in full control of their sound.” – Loud & Quiet, 10/10
“The avant-R&B artist is an eccentric visionary on her masterful second album.” – Rolling Stone
“the experimental pop shapeshifter is mightier than ever” – Pitchfork
“Otherworldly FKA twigs might be, but this is a record of real substance” – Q Magazine
“A powerful declaration of creative autonomy” – the WIRE
“Reflective Transcendence” – The Wall Street Journal
“It is an unsparing, anguished release in which we see an artist laid bare and tapping into a more natural and resonant version of her sound and self. It is the fullest and most developed work from FKA Twigs to date.” – The Line Of Best Fit
“In tasting despair, Tahliah Barnett has returned 10 times stronger – in spirit and voice” – UNCUT 9/10
“Twigs still finds ferocious power in her music, her femininity, and her sexuality. But on MAGDALENE, she tampers that ferocity with a radical sensitivity and vulnerability that indicate a broader maturation in her artistic development.” – The Quietus

Following tracks ‘cellophane’, ‘holy terrain (feat. Future)’, ‘home with you’ and ‘sad day’ FKA twigs has released her new album MAGDALENE via Young Turks / Remote Control Records.
MAGDALENE is the follow up to FKA twigs’ critically acclaimed Brit Award and Mercury Prize-nominated debut LP1 (2014, Young Turks). Created in a period where her confidence was knocked following heartbreak and laparoscopic surgery, MAGDALENE is the sound of twigs reconfiguring, emotionally and physically. As she sings on ‘Mary Magdalene’, the album track that opened her highly-praised, sold-out live shows earlier in the year, “A woman’s time / A woman’s work / A woman’s time to embrace / She must put herself first”. MAGDALENE is produced by FKA twigs and, as with LP1, the recording process has been directed by her at every stage. It was recorded between London, New York and Los Angeles over the last three years and, as previously reported, features major contributions from Nicolas Jaar alongside a host of other collaborators. MAGDALENE sees FKA twigs creating a whole new artistic universe and it is, without doubt, her most masterful work to date.
MAGDALENE is available on CD, digitally and on two vinyl formats, including a limited edition, red-vinyl version. It is available to pre-order now here. The album features artwork from the acclaimed artist (and long-time FKA twigs collaborator) Matthew Stone.
