While some prefer to keep their talents private, artists like FKA Twigs and Robert Pattinson are always ready to share their passion with the world. The singer-songwriter and the actor each have a new album out, and they’ve dedicated it to the one they love most: their fans. Whether you’re a fan of their music or their acting, you’re bound to hear their songs on the radio, so let’s celebrate with them.
New Songs For Everyone
The albums by these two megastars are both out this year, but they couldn’t have been released at a better time. While some may prefer to keep their talents private, artists like FKA Twigs and Robert Pattinson are always ready to share their passion with the world. The singer-songwriter and the actor each have a new album out, and they’ve dedicated it to the one they love most: their fans. Whether you’re a fan of their music or their acting, you’re bound to hear their songs on the radio, so let’s celebrate with them.
FKA Twigs’ album, “PERSONA,” was released in May, and it features several hit singles, including “Pony,” “I’ll Never Let You Go,” and “Bad Mood.” On this album, the UK-based singer is personal and raw, which makes for an interesting contrast to her previous work. Frontman Jay Z described the album as “intimate in scale and yet epic in scope,” and this certainly holds true. In a press release, Twigs said that the music on the album explores “the darker side of human nature,” adding, “It’s an album about finding comfort in loneliness and the pain of separation. It’s about being true to yourself and knowing what you want, even if society wants you to be something else.”
The Best From Both Worlds
While “PERSONA” was released in May, it wasn’t the last album by Twigs. Back in April, she debuted a new single, “Prayers,” a duet with singer-songwriter and record producer Kaytranada. The song is a celebration of love and loyalty, and it’s clear that the two artists connected on a deeper level through this collaborative effort. Twigs and Kaytranada’s relationship has been documented on social media, and it seems that their fans have noticed as well, as the song has received over 150,000 views on YouTube as of this writing. It’s clear that for these two, music and love are inseparable. Their fans are eager to hear more from Twigs and Kaytranada, and it will be interesting to see which projects these two will choose to work on next.
Meanwhile, Robert Pattinson’s album, “Lions,” was released earlier this year as well. The UK-based actor and musician has been relatively quiet over the past few years, but he’s never been shy about sharing his music with the world. He started producing his own material in 2012, and his first album, “R Pattz,” was released in 2016. In addition to producing and playing on the album, he also co-wrote several of the songs. This effort also introduced him to a new audience – those who love music and have seen his films. It seems that Pattinson is always looking for ways to connect with fans, and this year, he’s dedicated an entire album to them. As the title would suggest, “Lions” is a nod to his favorite movie franchise, and it was released on April 26, much to the delight of his fans.
An Underscored Album Title
While these two may seem like they have a lot in common, at least in terms of their work, they actually have quite a bit more. For one, they’re both British, and this is reflected in their music. However, their sound is very distinct from one another. Twigs is a singer-songwriter who often incorporates hip-hop and R&B into her tunes. Robert Pattinson is an indie-rock purist who doesn’t mingle with any musical genre – he sticks to what he knows and what he feels best. This is most apparent on their respective albums. “Lions” is a completely underscored album title, as it is entirely free of any lyrics. “PERSONA” is a pop album with a very strong hip-hop influence. Even songs like “I’ll Never Let You Go” and “Bad Mood” are rooted in rap music. This is perhaps why these two have never really worked together before – they may not have found the right fit musically. It’s not that they don’t like each other or that there’s a lack of respect between the two, but it seems that they’ve both found the sound that suits them best individually and that they’re not willing to give up just yet. With the success that they’ve each had (especially since breaking out simultaneously), it would be interesting to see if either are willing to collaborate again in the future.
