FKA Twigs "EP2" review


EP2 is the second extended play by English singer FKA Twigs. It was released on September 17, 2013 by Young Turks. This EP is about an all-encompassing, but completely unhealthy relationship with her lover.


How's That is where Twigs depicts about the "immense pleasure"  that her lover gives to her singing, "How's that/ How's that feel", and then the woozy electronic beats by London producer Arca starts to come in when twigs say, "You are/ You are/ You are/ Everything". The track also contains a sample of EXXXTASY by HBA.

Papi Pacify is a trip hop song that talks about the singer wanting her love interest to declare his love to her even though she knows that he's lying. In the intro twigs sings, "Mmmh pacify/Mmmh pacify/ Mmmh/ Clarify our love". The male lover is referenced to as "Papi" because he is considered the peacemaker in the relationship. But then he reveals a sinister side to himself which lead twigs to sing on the chorus with, "Mmmh, papi pacify/ Pacify our love/ Mmh, mmh, mmh, mmh, won't you clarify/ Clarify it hurts".



Water Me is where the singer wants to have a proper relationship with her love interest, but he isn't interested in her as she sings in the beginning, "He won't make love to me now/ Not now, I've set the fee/ He said it's too much in pound/ I guess I'm stuck with me". Twigs also starts to reference to herself as a plant on the chorus with, "He told me I was so small/ I told him "Water me/ I promise I can grow tall/ When making love is free".


Ultraviolet is the closing on EP2. After begging for him to "water her" in "Water Me", she now wants his sunlight in which she considers it as "ultraviolet rays". She starts off singing slow on the first verse with, "Don't worry this face/ Hold my hand in error/ Don't tell of this place/ It's for me and you only/ Softly, softly know me", and then she moves on to the chorus with lyrics like, "You give me love/ You know you give love me/ With your ultraviolet rays/ You give me love/ You know you give love me/ With your ultraviolet rays".
