Usually I listen to Zane Lowe’s show on BBC Radio 1 on and off.
But when I heard this song that he played on Monday.
I had to play it on Tuesday night since I was guest filling in for Mixtape Sessions on CHUO FM (Click the “On Demand”).
When I heard this song by FKA Twigs, I was so mesmerized with it’s electronica, trip-hop and somewhat dubstep music with it’s haunting vocals.
It a cross between James Blake, The xx with the vocals similar to Claire Maguire (Ain’t Nobody) & Portishead.
Here is a blurb:
Intriguing R&Bass/pop outta leftfield – a female answer to James Blake, or a darker Grimes for grown-ups.
All I know is that they are signed to Young Turks.
Going to say it!
One of the best songs I heard in 2013!!
Have a listen to How’s That
Here is their trippy music video.
