"The “FKA” in the name FKA Twigs stands for “Formerly Known As.” Initially, that might seem like some incredibly presumptuous, Prince-thieving shit, but it’s actually a practical change for a very mundane reason: another artist with the moniker of “Twigs” complained. That the anonymous female singer from Gloucestershire decided to quietly change the name that adorned her incredibly under-appreciated first EP in advance of the also innocuously-titled EP2 could be seen to paint the picture of an artist bereft of the ego that might have started a to-do about the name, but full of confidence that the songs stand up on their own. And they do.
2013 has seen a run of incredibly talented female artists making use of space in their compositions, from Lorde, to AlunaGeorge. EP 2 shares some nominal similarities with all of those artists, while exploring and deconstructing influences like James Blake, the Weeknd, Portishead, and Tricky. On paper, that sounds busy. But, EP producer (and Yeezus collaborator) Arca pares down these interlocking sounds with the aplomb of Jamie xx, cutting down to the skeleton of each musical phrase or idea." (Consequence Of Sound)
