FKA Twigs - Two Weeks

An FKA twigs video is almost a bigger event than a song itself, and it’s no surprise: Anyone bringing a visual palette as vast and exciting as something combining ‘Water Me’, “Papi Pacify’ and ‘Hide’ deserves to raise the collective pulse. Still, when gazing into expanding eyes or a sea of gold - as is the case with ‘Two Weeks’ - it’s easy to forget that there’s an enrapturing track that’s doing most of the work.

The videos Tahliah Barnett sports are all about movement, be it the crown shake that opens ‘Two Weeks’ or the locking of joints that defines ‘How’s That’. Twigs is a more than accomplished dancer - it’s no surprise she’s obsessed with the human form. And yet with this latest track, somehow the movement can be felt and conveyed just in audible form. The bass swells and breathless vocals do all the talking. Songs like these come with their own meticulously crafted visual before the video even emerges - they’re deep, dark and visceral beings with a life of their own.
