The two songs stay very much within her comfort zone. This problem occasionally occurred in the running order of last year’s frequently stunning LP1 and is (maybe surprisingly because featured producer Boots has not collaborated with Barnett before) replicated here. ‘I’m Your Doll’ and ‘Mothercreep’ would benefit from a more sympathetic and original score to help prop them up, with neither of the tracks making the most of Barnett’s songwriting strengths. The clanking and creaking, whirring and hissing soundscape that Barnett has already become synonymous with is used with almost punishing effect throughout the majority of M3LL155X. But without the all-arresting visuals, how well does the purely musical element of FKA Twigs stand up on its own? The 16 minute video is her most ambitious and contextual yet, and it’s here that Tahliah Barnett, aka FKA Twigs, selectively reveals what these songs mean to her. She is without a doubt a crucial and desperately needed force of nature. In addition to dancer, singer and performance artist, you can almost add feminist, gender studies and queer outlaw commentator to FKA Twigs’ abilities. M3LL155X (frequently referred to by Twigs as ‘Melissa’), her third EP, has an accompanying short film that incorporates four of the five songs included here.
