FKA twigs: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert

[@nprmusic]

How do you love rap when rap doesn’t love you back? From Rico Nasty’s harassment from toxic Carti fans, to Saucy Santana's unapologetically femme aesthetics in a queerphobic industry, to the assault case that put Megan Thee Stallion’s entire image on trial, each episode of Louder Than A Riot - the second season of our investigative hip-hop podcast - unpacks the unspoken rules of rap that hold the entire culture back. Tap in to our first episode at n.pr/louder-season-2.

[@ashleybell4358]

I've been following her for many many years and love her voice so so much 😊

[@Ek0]

Shes not just a great vocalist. Its the way her songs are produced... her use of crescendo, slurs, and a lot of different vocal techniques. Her music always feel fresh and new. What a talent.

[@thesassynerd]

She improves her vocals so much

[@lcs-1]

Slurs 😍 😍 😍 😍

[@evedotcom]

Yes! The different vocal techniques! So interesting. I love the contrasts. It makes the big falsetto moments even better.

[@michaelfoxbrass]

Exposure to all genres and styles informs our most creative young artists. She has done her homework and is making the most of it. It’s going to be exciting seeing how she continues to develop and grow. Music is a communication art form, and she is communicating powerfully. I suspect (predict?) that every brutal, raw, and finely-nuanced texture, silence, harmony, rhythm, and timbre will ultimately occupy her palette.

[@tracyracy]

Slurs?

[@natalieportmanreal]

As a victim of domestic violence, I am so grateful for fka twigs. Looking back on my abuse experiences I feel like she has been with me as a friend, a safe harbor, and an inspiration.

[@LuvMwai]

those vocals are something so serious. fka twigs is a diamond in human form

[@ianlawrence1840]

The vocals are superb, the band sounds heavenly, the staging is otherworldly, but her STAGE PRESENCE? The way she just *looks* into the camera from time to time, knowing she's looking into your very soul. Her posture, the subtle movements, the way she lets the song move her but is still in such *command* of the performance. All just SITTING there. This is a MASTERCLASS in performance.

[@bootz966]

Truly! I feel like with this style of music it's so easy to lose the engagement of an audience during a live show, but she really tells a story with her movement. It makes you want to keep tuning in. The dancing at the end of Home With You, as well as the first chorus of Cellophane were so incredibly engaging, entertaining, and just absolutely heartfelt.

[@Anditover]

Can she possibly be aware of how she perfectly she grabs, and holds the viewers attention, and tops it with a performance that is worthy of the focus you can't help but put her under? As a 58 year old bloke who grew up with Bowie, Bush, Tina Turner, Barbara Streisand, she's right up there.

As someone whose been playing cello for 5 years, I've never felt so honored to see my instrument at its fullest

[@quentinmerritt]

She means every word, especially in Cellophane. She has opened up her heart to us, she's letting us in, but she's also speaking directly to who this song is about. She is so powerful, because she's strong enough to be open and honest and vulnerable with the world, using music to accentuate her experience and augment it to one that we can all relate to. Maybe it's hitting me now because I finally feel like I've accessed my own unshakable sense of truth and take power from vulnerability, but FKA Twigs is the artist of our generation. Sending nothing but infinite love to you, Twigs

[@kaylaramos2201]

Dynamic transformation of her classical training to make a unique and simply ethereal sound. Purely her own. I appreciate her authenticity and loyalty to her own sound. Beautiful accompaniment from the violinist/bassist, cellist, and pianist.

Amazing. Speaks volumes about the abject nature of humanity that this woman's art is not elevated above the garbage that corporations push on the consuming public.

Not many singer has the talent that she has. This is hands down the best tiny desk I've seen.
