Created in a period where her confidence was knocked following heartbreak and laparoscopic surgery, Magdalene is the sound of FKA twigs reconfiguring, emotionally and physically. It was produced by FKA twigs, and as with LP1, the recording process has been directed by her at every stage.

‘I never thought heartbreak could be so all-encompassing. I never thought that my body could stop working to the point that I couldn’t express myself physically in the ways that I have always loved and found so much solace. I have always practiced my way into being the best I could be, but I couldn’t do that this time, I was left with no option but to tear every process down. But the process of making this album has allowed me for the first time, and in the most real way, to find compassion when I have been at my most ungraceful, confused and fractured. I stopped judging myself and at that moment found hope in Magdalene. To her I am forever grateful’. - FKA twigs
