Oops, that's Jovovich modelling for Michelle Lamy's clothing line. Lamy is an interesting character...

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.

She added some theft from boychild in the first section to mix it up, I guess.

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.

She prefers the female pronoun btw.

Sorry for getting overly defensive but the gender pronouns this is a thing.

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!

I believe jed_ was referring to boychild.

Oh yeah I totally was.

New song!

this is fantastic

very beautiful

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?

Also known as the Prithvi mudra.

Good, thanks!

this is about as straightforward and mainstream-friendly a pop ballad as she's ever done, right?

By some distance.

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.

she sounds way better here than the first time she was on SNL

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 ago
i 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...

i would feel so much better if someone just announced a surprise lp2 release

"HomePod. The new sound of home. Directed by Spike Jonze. Starring FKA twigs."

i'm glad she's getting that kind of exposure and she's so cute and an amazing dancer but my first reaction to that commercial was "homepod gives you psychosis"

So it's been years. What the fuck is going on?

she's posted on instagram about some health problems which are presumably part of why she hasn't released anything since "good to love". she's announced a few festival dates for this year, her first tour dates since 2016, so i'd hope some new music will be on its way soon enough

So it's been years. What the fuck is going on?

Playing in Australia in May.

Playing RBMA in nyc as well

New single out:

!

video is incredible

hell yeah

she has been working her ass off on that stripper pole in her IG stories for awhile

The video's amazing (when she first comes stalking out on those heels it's like something from a Cremaster movie), but the song kinda only exists as a soundtrack to the video. The two of them together remind me of one of those commercials for a fantasy video game where a slow piano ballad is playing as explosions are going off all around you and you're shooting lasers at dragons.
