Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music The 2025 Grammys were shaping up to be a lively celebration of a vibrant year in music: the year of Chappell, Charli and Sabrina; of Taylor, Beyonce and Billie; of “Brat,” “Tipsy” and “Not Like Us.” But on Wednesday, January 8, everything changed as wildfires raged across the Grammys’ home city of Los Angeles. For the third time in five years — following the COVID-altered shows of 2021 and 2022 — the Grammys had to pivot and transform what is usually an extravagant, glamorous celebration into something more serious and, at times, somber.

FKA Twigs — With a Guest Feature From North West — Steps Up as One of Music’s Great Innovators on the Versatile ‘Eusexua’: Album Review

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music Like a lot of multi-platform artists, FKA Twigs’ music can be hard to remove from the larger context: the videos, the fashion, the looks, the art projects, her incredible dancing, and, most of all, the larger concepts that always accompany her music.
