The whole hipster R&B genre, aka "PBR&B," seems designed to avoid labeling black artists as "indie." Performers like SZA, FKA Twigs, or Dawn Richard all work with spacious, off-kilter beats and psychedelic electronica flourishes—they sound like peers of Bjork, not Beyoncé. But Bjork is considered central to indie, and SZA, FKA Twigs, and Richard are all R&B with an asterisk. Or consider Valerie June, a guitar-based performer who works with an eclectic variety of roots sources in contemporary idiosyncratic settings. She's not so different from the Dirty Projectors or Vampire Weekend, but June is classified as blues or roots music. The color of her skin means that she's invisible to, and as, indie.

Brilliant review.



It's a remarkable achievement and I cannot wait for her next record. Thousand eyes, home with you, cellophane, fallen alien, and Magdalene are astonishing.

Thanks! This still one of 2019's best and I should revisit it far more often than I do. 'Fallen Alien' is my favorite FKA Twigs song, period.
