Musical style and influences
FKA twigs's music has been described as "catchy pop" with "whispery vocals".[40] It has been compared to the work of Tricky[41] as well as Janet Jackson, the xx and Massive Attack.[42] A Slate review called her as distinctive in a way that rises above her influences.[43]The first singers who had an impact on FKA twigs were Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, and Marvin Gaye. When she started composing songs, she wanted to reproduce music she liked: "every bit of music that I made sounded like a pastiche of Siouxsie and the Banshees or Adam Ant. But through that I discovered myself".[44] Describing her artistry, she said: "I am not restricted by any musical genre. I like to experiment with sounds, generating emotions while putting my voice on certain atmospheres. [...] Younger, I only listened to punk, Siouxsie and the Banshees [...] and then I found my own way of playing punk. I like industrial sounds and incorporating everyday life's sounds like a car alarm."[45]
Personal life
In April 2015, it was confirmed that Barnett is engaged to actor Robert Pattinson.[46][47]Discography
