FKA twigs begins her career with EP1, a much tamer collection of 4 tracks that kinda ease you into her sound by sprinkling elements of glitchy electronica here and there(namely Breathe) with other interesting things such as her pretty much whispering over the entirety of Weak Spot as well as the nice, simple tune of Hide that isn't all too wonky or freaky.

Bom EP, só não curti muito a primeira faixa, achei chatinha, e gostei mais de "Breathe" é uma delicinha de ouvir ❤.

* Weak Spot (6/10)
* Ache (8/10)
* Breathe (9/10)
* Hide (7/10)

Nota Final: 76/100

Cool stuff, good first EP.

favs - Breathe and Hide
