A throwback to "Water Me", but I'm thrilled there's no attempt at accessibility.

I was fearing a slide into EP1 "pretty but who cares" territory on "I'm your doll" and then I hit approx 2:30 O_O

"In Time" is so good.

it kinda trips me out that Twigs is British and Kelela is American. i assumed it was the other way around when i first heard them.

Dunno what to say about someone mining every major visual motif from Under The Skin for their video but I don't feel good about it. I understand appropriation being used but after one viewing this seems like blatant theft to me. I'm not sure if the blantantness is part of the tactic though.
― Acting Crazy (Instrumental) (jed_), Friday, 14 August 2015 00:39 (ten years ago)
She added some theft from boychild in the first section to mix it up, I guess.

― Acting Crazy (Instrumental) (jed_), Friday, 14 August 2015 00:47 (ten years ago)
I mean, I'm aware that it's all a continuum and the vogueing form develops and uses things along the way but why not just pay boychild to be in your video if you like her ideas so much.
― Acting Crazy (Instrumental) (jed_), Friday, 14 August 2015 00:56 (ten years ago)
She prefers the female pronoun btw.
― Acting Crazy (Instrumental) (jed_), Friday, 14 August 2015 00:57 (ten years ago)
Sorry for getting overly defensive but the gender pronouns this is a thing.
― Acting Crazy (Instrumental) (jed_), Friday, 14 August 2015 01:04 (ten years ago)
i think jordan might've been referring to "them" as both kelela and twigs, when he listened to both kelela and twigs for the first time. also "they/them/theirs" is the safest pronoun to refer to someone as if you don't know their preferred pronouns since it is gender-neutral.
at least that's one way you could read it; i could be wrong. sorry if this feels like i'm taking a dig at you. i'm queer and correct usage of gender pronouns is very important to me as well, but i thought it'd be good to give him the benefit of the doubt!
― j. winters (josh), Friday, 14 August 2015 05:39 (ten years ago)
I believe jed_ was referring to boychild.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 14 August 2015 05:50 (ten years ago)
Oh yeah I totally was.

Yeah, I love this, especially the fluid quality of the vocal line.

Finally getting to listen to this. Gorgeous!

lol did she intentionally make a two-in-the-pink-one-in-the-stink hand at the very end of the video?

― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Saturday, 20 February 2016 02:21 (ten years ago)
this is about as straightforward and mainstream-friendly a pop ballad as she's ever done, right?
― cher guevara (lex pretend), Saturday, 20 February 2016 07:50 (ten years ago)
By some distance.
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Saturday, 20 February 2016 08:06 (ten years ago)
thought it was a little dull because of that (pop balladry) but the little touches at the end were still really great. video obviously also awesome.
― in twelve parts (lamonti), Saturday, 20 February 2016 12:10 (ten years ago)
she sounds way better here than the first time she was on SNL

― Hey (Extended Mix), Tuesday, 1 March 2016 09:17 (ten years ago)
She sounds great but I was REALLY distracted by how loud her breaths in between the phrases of the chorus were. (Totally my issue, I know.)
I idly started scrolling the comments on that video and this one killed me:
Zokami RGS2 days agoi thnk she became an airbender at the end

Liked that song more seeing it live. But loved the stage set-up, so cool. Reminded me a bit of Silly Little Love Songs in Give My Regards to Broad Street, except, you know...
