FKA twigs

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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=305ryPvU6A8

"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.

It's great paired with the video, but I think it's a strong song in its own right.

This video and this song and the subtly ASMR production = incredible

I am not into this song at all. The video is great, though.

Beautiful song. The video is nice until it goes all CGI though...

first impression was that the video was incredible but the song was meh, but listening to it now without the visuals and it's really beautiful still. is that some vocal percussion I'm hearing towards the end?

she's so strong as a dancer... I've done aerial/acrobatic arts before and pole dancing was just so physically painful for me. every core muscle hurt, your thighs burn, and the blisters that you get on your hands, yargh.

song is great and the sound design feels like a big step up from anything on her debut, so gorgeous

I think her singing is really, really good but I’m not taken by the song

Same after two listens but maybe that will change?

I was not feeling this one at first, I think I have an innate aversion to piano-led ballads. Now I think this song is too damn pretty to be ignored, I love the sparse, weird arrangements, I love her performance, I love the video. I don’t love that she pulled the trick of making me consider a piano ballad as one of my favorite songs of 2019.

I was initially put off by the ponderous bong bong basic ballad intro and in general the song would be better without it but the sound that occurs when she sings 'wrapped in cellophane' redeems that x100.

tbh my main beef with the song is that i can't help but think about the 'roy orbison wrapped in clingfilm' thing the entire time

Is she still w shia labeouf?

Cellophane, Live at The Wallace Collection

holy fuck. also love she deemed necessary to have someone subtly doing the 'percussion' of the song.

She plays an instrument? Cool.

Someone watched the wide lenses in wainscotted rooms of The Favourite.

Am I wrong in thinking of her as in a similar category of musicians as Bjork? Similarly tone deaf on catchy melodies, and deeply reliant on progressive production for her appeal...
