    FKA twigs is one of the best artist in the 2010s! Rolling Stone only gave this album 80 points! Objectively speaking, 100 points are too little. It deserves to be selected in the rolling stone's 500 greatest albums! But it doesn't matter. Rolling Stone has been regarded as a joke by music fans now.

    2 albums in and FKA Twigs is already starting to prove herself as one of the greats in her generation with her album Magdalene. By the way, that Cellophane video is crazy but incredible.

    This album is amazing. Everything from the production to the lyricism to twigs' haunting vocals to the Biblical references throughout and the way twigs relates herself to Mary Magdalene while also dealing with a breakup was amazing. The genre bending sound of the album and twigs' vulnerability and honesty make this one of the best albums from 2019. An amazing piece of work.

    brought me to tears many times, what a beautiful album, such a new sound. i always love FKA twigs' lyrics, so full of pain, anger, disgesting love and trying to come back up again. her voice is really smthg, she's one of my favorite artists when it comes to just drowning you in emotions, and especially in this album with Home With You.

    Magdalene is an album that, like FKA twigs herself, defies both genre and classification. Yet it’s a late contender for album of the year, with songs that will live you for months to come.

    Magdalene sees FKA Twigs reach a wholly satisfying pinnacle that is unlikely to be rivaled by any of her peers in 2019.

    It’s beautiful, inventive, catchy, heartbreaking, addictive, and bursting at the seams with ideas. It captures a performer truly at the top of their game, throwing everything into a project so that not one second is wasted. It’s a record that makes you fall in love with music again, a record you feel privileged to experience and a record that imparts fundamental human truths.
