Opera Singer Reacts to FKA Twigs Home With You | Tiny Desk Concert | Performance Analysis |

[@Mark.mp3]

The “apples, cherries, pain” lyric refers to the fibroid tumors she dealt with a couple years ago. Her doctor compared her tumors to the sizes of those fruits

[@rizu8517]

She can't have children due to the operation and she wants them.

[@TheHazelBowden]

As per Wanda Sykes’ observation re. medical fruit/tumour comparisons.

So freaking beautiful and powerful to watch a talented and smart black woman reacting to another talented and smart black woman. Thank you! Much love from Brasil 💖

[@Errcyco]

She’s amazing. Anytime I see or hear her I’m just like.. this is art. And I’m in a trance.

[@d.t.artistry]

I love FKA TWIGS, definitely would love a Cellophane reaction!

[@jessicasopranonotes]

Cellophane? Never heard of that artist. I'm intrigued by the name 🤔

[@stewiegriffin993]

@@jessicasopranonotes That's the name of her song, it's also the final song in this Tiny Desk concert you reacted to, but whichever performance you pick the song is astounding :)

[@d.t.artistry]

@@jessicasopranonotes it’s actually the name of one of her records! She performs it in this same concert! However, a phenomenal artist who also had two tiny desk concerts is Moses Sumney!!

[@specificsoup]

@@d.t.artistry yesss I would love to see her react to Moses Sumney 😍

[@Jordanbushieduh]

@@d.t.artistry cellophane is on MAGDALENE, it's not its own record

[@collinbeal]

Worth noting that the piano was referencing Debussy's Arabesque No. 1 in that wonderful descending line it was doing

[@Joe-vz7ll]

bussy?

[@collinbeal]

@@Joe-vz7ll that's right. Debussy, the OG bussy.

All the other bussy's can't compete.

[@dayvidd]

As a huge fan of twigs and first time watcher of your channel, I really loved your analysis and commentary. I feel like I now can appreciate this song on a whole new level

[@alexeyovriakh2450]

By the way, Pitchfork gave 9.4 out of 10 to MAGDALENE. This just tells you how good the album is since only a handful of albums get above 9.0. For comparison, another album that got 9.4 was the iconic Madvillainy. So, thank you FKA Twigs for giving us this masterpiece!

[@leliel12th43]

FKA is a best!!She's an absurdly gifted artist (she also does pole dance, and dance in general), and is the beautiful e cutest being ever evolved, bu this is an unusual choice. I think that "Cellophane" or "meta angel" would show better her abilities. They both are a must listen.

[@Mark.mp3]

FKA twigs is a creative visionary. Her music and overall artistry are next level

[@shakirastewart2020]

I love this content. Thank you! I could hear you talk about music for hours 🥰

[@shakirastewart2020]

And you were spot on. My favorite part was your analysis of the tension/release she does in the song. I didn’t know how to put it in words!

[@jessicasopranonotes]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@Rosannasfriend]

This is the second time where I’ve heard her beautiful voice. I don’t know why I’ve never bother to check her out more.

[@jessicasopranonotes]

This performance has definitely caught my eye. In love with the entire vibe, especially the live instrumentation.

[@MistyTull-u3u]

Big Twigs fan here. Tuned in to see what you thought. Don’t know if you at all, but I love your musical intelligence and how you break down the complicated in a simplistic way for folks like me, big untrained music lovers, to follow along. Big ups to you!

[@jessicasopranonotes]

Thank you, your comment is much appreciated! ☺️

[@Gabriel-ud5hu]

i would love to hear your thoughts on her live on Valentino runway show! i believe that vocally it's her best life to date 👌🏾

[@jackieradley1025]

I'm forever waiting for someone to react to that. It's so good.

[@hannahmadden1862]

i concur!

[@estebanarce3446]

CRE-A-TI-VI-TY is all I can say… I’m still processing, I wasn’t expecting this! OMG! Shivers and tears… Her voice and it’s different tones (?) I’m in shock and from now on a fan! ❤️❤️👏🏼👏🏼 it was my first time! Thank you Jess, as always THE best! 💪🏼💪🏼Thank you @sopranonotes! 👍🏼👍🏼

[@jessicasopranonotes]

You're very welcome Esteban! 💛💛💛

[@chew_cho47]

Yess!! Ive been listening to her for many years and she is the absolutely the most unique, raw, talented, beautiful artists ever. I highly recommend listening to her Entire discography. EP 1 -> EP 2 -> M3LL155X -> GOOD To Love -> LP2 -> MAGDALENE ….

[@chizembi2997]

Home With You, along with the rest of the Magdalene album, absolutely floored me. The layered details that have been put into her work is such a gift. I'm so glad I found your channel. So glad to hear someone give her work, which I love so much, the appropriate level of analysis!

[@belencesar8748]

Big fan of FKA Twigs here! I loved your reaction/analysis and I humbly suggest you the entire Tiny Desk session (I've already seen people crazy about you listening to Cellophane) and their last two albums.

[@jordzach3537]

My favourite reaction ever, it's so real, the surprise, the admiration, the eye brow raises.. incredible.

[@sorenparish]

FKA Twigs is in a category all of her own. She is so so talented and a brilliant songwriter, singer, dancer etc. You should listen to her opening song for the Magdalene album. 1000 Eyes

[@Rivkah.Gamble]

Wow. I'd never heard of this artist before, but I'm definitely going to have to check out more! Super interesting with your analysis as always, Jess!

[@jessicasopranonotes]

yea, I agree! I had never heard her voice before. Very interesting style and voice!

[@franciscojavierp.7162]

It's the same for me, and with a Jess's analysis... it will be good

[@Rosannasfriend]

The analysis is premiering now, what are you talking about?

[@franciscojavierp.7162]

@@Rosannasfriend I think Rivkah has seen the video, because Patreon members have access to the music on this platform

[@Rivkah.Gamble]

@@Rosannasfriend Hello! Patreon members get to see the video about a week in advance. 🙂

[@diemdia]

I know I’m late to this haha but long time FKA twigs fan and first time viewer of your channel - you have an amazing way of breaking everything down and bringing attention to details that I’d never noticed before. It’s awesome to see a bit of your visceral/emotional reaction to her and to hear your technical perspective on what’s going on. You’re really skilled and insightful! Great reaction vid, I’ll check out some of your others 😄

[@milu9099]

Never heard her, never even heard of her... but I love this perofrmance and will look for more!

[@hl7636]

Thank you for deconstruction the complex structure of this song; I've listened to it many times and I appreciate your professional insights to things I would not have necessarily picked up on my own.

[@starkiller56381]

It's like hearing the most beautiful painting come to life.

[@Nathan_VC]

Wow the way you know & breakdown music is fascinating! I absolutely love this performance from Twigs but your ear & knowledge have made me love it even more! Thank you 💛

[@ameliacraiig4193]

Wow! What a brilliant, in-depth, eloquent analysis of such a beautiful performance by Twigs. I'm definitely gonna check out who else you have analysed.🖤

[@laureen4403]

I love FKA Twigs and just discovered your channel and wow!!!

[@ericaminnis4676]

She is one of my favs. Her earlier songs are amazing too. I love "Hide" "Papi Pacify" and "Two Weeks".....she's soooo talented.

[@pinminhav]

I've been following fka twigs from the beginning of her music career. ❤️ I'll be seeing her live for the first this year 😍I hope you're going to react more of her work. Your analysis was great and I'm happy you enjoyed the performance.

[@yuh4566]

This is such a fantastic analysis you brought up so many points that I never considered even after listening to this song for years. YOU ARE AMAZING !!!

[@luiegarcia6396]

Your videos get me so excited , I literally study them and take so much out of them. You've def taught me to listen/ watch and digest performances in a whole new way 🤗

[@jessicasopranonotes]

Best compliment! Thanks so much for sharing Luie. Your words are motivation to keep pushing out content! ☺

I’m so glad this came up in my recommendations! You have so much insight, and it was such a joy to watch you react to this beautiful song :-)

[@jessicasopranonotes]

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks, Dev!

[@alexeyovriakh2450]

"Wow" is right! 😍

[@virtualvato1618]

Please react to her Cellophane performance on this same Tiny Desk set it’s so amazing 😭

[@iusoloman1527]

Love your reaction and your break down. Fell in love with Twigs since 2 Weeks 8 years ago. Her music back then is totally different than what she's doing now. Would like to see your take on 2 Weeks

[@vampire_kat]

Dang girl you did not miss a note literally! I’ve been a fan of hers for so long and this performance of home with yo7 makes me cry every time I hear it. Her Cellophane performance in same concert is very good

[@olmava]

Please more reactions of FKA Twigs!! Lovely video

[@rjs2035]

Please, please please!!! React to the rest of this Tiny Desk session. “Killer” and “Cellophane” are just as, if not more, powerful, which seams impossible, but its true. Never have I ever seen a Tiny Desk that felt like a whole 3hr Broadway show! 😂

[@alejandramacias8199]

Her Magdalene album was one of my most listened to in 2019 - she fuses art-pop, industrial, r&b, and electronic sounds in a way you wouldn’t think works but does. A forward thinker musically, for sure. Like some others have said, I think you’ll enjoy her performance of her most vulnerable song, Cellophane. I am partial to the live Amsterdam version but they’re all great: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3bLYn2Dq9mBq8U

[@flavionorberto6611]

great analysis!

[@chew_cho47]

Please check out her live perforamce at Valentino

[@486Nichole]

I watched the tiny desk and had the strangest feeling. I didn't hate it but was confused by it. It shattered every expectation I had for a song. I sat for 5 minutes after listening to it confused and then found your video. Glad I did, you explained wonderfully and now I appreciate it!

[@jessicaruby1ify]

FKA Twigs is a mesmerizing, ethereal, otherworldly being. She's a once in a lifetime experience. 😊 ❤ Please review Mary Magdalene.

[@user-xo3xd7et6g]

Thank you so much for your analysis and ear, Jess! I love FKA Twigs and regularly cry to this specific performance HAHAH Could you react to Moses Sumney's Blackalachia please? Specifically "Doomed" or "Me In 20 Years"?

[@MistyTull-u3u]

Also, and I’m sure you’ve already heard this as it’s been a year, Two Weeks is, to me, one of the most sensual songs I’ve ever, ever heard.

[@milosummers2779]

fka twigs does mainly art pop fused with alternative rnb but this was off the 2019 album MAGDALENE which was a bit of a curveball in her discography, she hasn’t done anything quite like that album before or since

[@pau23799]

FKA twigs is truly mesmerizing, check out Cellophane and honestly the whole Magdalene album, you'll love it! also, I'd love if you react to Lana Del Rey too ♡

[@esteban9716]

would love you react to her maida vale and valentino performances 💗
