We couldn't believe it anymore. Four years after the incredible EP M3LL155X, FKA Twigs had been (far too discreet). However, the announcement of his presence at a handful of festivals in the spring had revived hope of a return, not only on stage. Here she is back with the grandiose "Cellophane". Hopes have just been realized. Unexpectedly. This new song is far from the electronic and experimental sounds usual to the English singer. Instead, we are treated to a sensual and desperate piano ballad. The lyrics show her more vulnerable than ever, revealing another facet of what is usually called conquering and iconic. More vulnerable but still fascinating, FKA Twigs has nothing left to prove. This new register works and the worked visuals of the clip amaze us. Rather ordinary at first glance, the pole-dance scenario takes us to meet a robotic creature before a descent (to hell?) of the most aesthetic, echoing the lyrics. After "Cellophane", it remains only to wait for the announcement of the album. On the live side, we French are among the lucky ones on the way to his short tour of dates. See you at We Love Green on June 1st. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkLjqFpBh84
