Album Review: "EUSEXUA Afterglow" by FKA twigs

"EUSEXUA Afterglow" by FKA twigs album cover
Well that did not take long! Just approximately nine (9) months after releasing her critically acclaimed and commercial successful third studio album "Eusexua" on the 24th January, FKA twigs is back. This time with a standalone sequel to her Eusexua album titled "Eusexua Afterglow". Here is my review of her album for those who may have missed it or need a refresher on how the album was received by yours truly. The link is as follows: Album Review: "Eusexua" by FKA twigs As you can see if you took the time to read my review, her album was well received and will be definitely be making my year end recap as one of my favourite albums of the year. Here is what FKA twigs had to say about the album. AFTERGLOW is a broken mirror at 5am. AFTERGLOW is the chaos in perfection. AFTERGLOW is daring to begin again. EUSEXUA is still a practice. EUSEXUA is still a state of being. EUSEXUA is still the pinnacle of human experience… and humans change. the dna of the first born should relinquish some control to the second. you are sisters now and you will continue to grow together, i will raise you that way. feeling so pure right now with you all basking in afterglow, her chaotic perfection represents the fractures in me at this time, RIGHT NOW, my seams flood with light. the balance of my writing, producing and physical movement is always in a slightly ambiguous open relationship with no safe words or agreed rules. the beats i made in afterglow are broken, the dance floor is deconstructed exploring the side of electronic music that i adore the most, its glorious to be back here. fingers on drum machines, twisting knobs and pushing buttons felt frivolously loaded with the lack of routine in my life right now. you can’t hide the truth, we shouldn’t. all of my collaborators on this record are so real, talented beyond belief, my friends, my community and i am deeply grateful for the inspiration and commitment to the intensity it took to finish this project. thank you. COMMUNITY this one is for you. pushing aside the frills and pretence, straight to the core of what is needed to shed your skin flesh be torn, all that good stuff. i feel vulnerable here, and that’s sexy. anyway, i am here with you, for you, always will be, thank you for the response to this and for your continued love. twigs 💗 Excerpt taken from https://www.instagram.com/p/DRF1YfKjWo5/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Woman in The Mirror by Sacha album cover Ads can be such a nuisance! However, we have all had a moment where those pesky advertisements can be life changing. My discovery of the Canadian country artist Sacha can be counted as one of those life changing moments. After watching the video for "Later Tonight" by John Ross, YouTube played an ad of song called Shooting Star. Curiosity got the better of me so I went to the video to hear the entire song. Instantly I fell in love with the song and had to find out more about this new artist. Sacha Visagie, known mononymously as Sacha (or SACHA), is a Canadian country music singer and songwriter from Warkworth, Ontario. She is currently signed to Sony Music Canada.

Album Review: "June" By De'Wayne

"june" by DE'WAYNE album cover "She's a synthesizer, Orchestrates the band, She's got the whole world, Wrapped around her finger, She's a synthesizer, Baby don't you understand, She's my heaven she's my earth, She's my woman she's my man." Lyrics taken from  https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/dewaynejackson/synthesizer.html The song "synthesizer" was how I was introduced to the wonderful artist called De'Wayne. I came across a snippet of the video on Twitter and decided to give the song a listening ear and I instantly feel in love. This new discovery filled me with so much joy because as an avid music listener I  always seek to expand my musical horizons to listen to genres I usually do not follow. Therefore, coming across a Rock N Roll artist that I instantly liked was so exhilarating. I listened to the song until my own ears and music player got fed up with me and was even more elated when I discovered he was releasin...
