This month's incredible cover star, FKA twigs, has announced the details of her debut record. LP1, which she describes as her "defining artistic statement to date", will come out on August 11 through Young Turks. The album is ten tracks long and features artwork by Jesse Kanda, who directed the acclaimed videos for her songs "Water Me" and "How’s That" and who also features in the new issue of Dazed.
In typically bold fashion, twigs's new record will not feature any previously released songs – all the material is entirely fresh, written in the studio in order to engage with a creative process based on spontaneity and collaboration.
The artist has also announced what is only her second ever headline show in London. She'll be playing at the ICA in the last of a series of sold-out headline shows across the world.
