Description
the official lyrics for FKA twigs second studio LP and fifth studio release called "MAGDALENE" - 2019. + a short look into FKA twigs' mind with the story behind each song and how it came alive. • [I do not own this material. All rights reserved to the artist.] (iTunes Review): - Look past its futurist textures and careful obfuscations, and there's something deeply human about FKA twigs' 21st century R&B. On her second full-length, the 31-year-old British singer-songwriter connects our current climate to that of Mary Magdalene, a healer whose close personal relationship with Christ brought her scorn from those who would ultimately write her story: men. "I'm of a generation that was brought up without options in love," she tells Apple Music. "I was told that as a woman, I should be looked after. It's not whether I choose somebody, but whether somebody chooses me." Written and produced by Tahliah (her real name) with major contributions from Nicolas Jaar, MAGDALENE is a feminist meditation on the ways in which we relate to one another and ourselves - emotionally, sexually, universally - set to sounds that are at once modern and ancient. "Now it's like, 'Can you stand up in my holy terrain?'" she says, referencing the titular lyric from her mid-album collaboration with Future. "'How are we going to be equals in this? Spiritually, am I growing? Do you make me want to be a better person?' I'm definitely still figuring it out.""
