At her concert in Cologne even after her performance of cellophane was over the room stayed dead silence for another couple minutes in awe without clapping staring at her until someone finally started to clap and the crowd exploded. It was otherworldly.

[@nickralay]

bby the first song is “mary magdalene”

[@lancehewison]

In my humble opinion the best there is in pop music today. She’s transcendent, and asks a lot out of her listeners and doesn’t patronize them. This is high concept stuff in the mainstream.

[@Stand-Alone-Complex]

Except that twigs is not a pop singer. She's an alternative and experimental artist with a versatile style. m3lli55x was as close as you could get to Experimental R&B "pop"

[@lancehewison]

Stand Alone Complex I meant pop in the sense of visibility and not in genre.

[@Stand-Alone-Complex]

@@lancehewison Ah, that makes more sense 🙃

[@lancehewison]

Stand Alone Complex I also think that after people like Kate Bush and Björk (and many others), the idea of what pop music can be has expanded drastically. I remember Björk stating unabashedly that she is a pop musician, although many would consider what she makes to be quite avant-garde. Pop to me is anything that has become iconic in the sense that it is firmly part of pop culture and the collective consciousness. Good artists tend to not worry about intellectualizing their work this way, and instead focus on expressing themselves in whichever way they wish. I think Twigs is such an artist.

[@Stand-Alone-Complex]

@@lancehewison Absolutely agree with everything you said this is what makes them masters of their own craft. I have been a hardcore ride or die fan of twigs and bjork. Twigs growth and recognition has interestingly come from pure originality. She has not once "sold out" her ideas and art to stay in the masses. Shes kept her roots and that's highly respectable, she became pop while remaining as she always has while still adding new and fresh ideas to the table. I agree, they are all pop, and they do it very well.

[@rodrigo33370]

5:39 WOW

[@gvaz9636]

Wow I’m stunned and kinda shaking too. The amount of emotional power this song has is overwhelming and the fact that she hardly moved an inch and captivated me speaks volumes on how much her artistry surpasses the glitz and glamour of conventional pop music. One of the best albums of the last decade and one of the best songs ever written in my honest opinion. I would pay top dollar to see this talent live!

There is something so telling of FKA twigs’ artistry when she has the ability to move and dance and sword fight all around that entire stage but instead is deliberately choosing to stand in one place and exude deep, painful emotion with an explosion at the end. Story telling, friends. An artist. This is one of the greatest of our generation. See it now before she’s gone as they are always gone too soon.

I think she started with Mary Magdalene because it is a song that encompasses the overall theme of the album. I think that also happened in her "Melissa" music video, when a single line from "Glass and Patron" was present in other songs.
