FKA Twigs Covers i-D

Published: Monday 2nd Sep 2019 by David

FKA Twigs is baring all for ID.

Full story after the leap…

The innovative musician covers the magazine and used her time with its editors to reveal how she saved herself when the world she knew caved in on her and how she used the pain to create her new album…’Magdalene.’

Sporting a hairstyle created by Rio Sreedharan, she had this to say about life, love, pain, change and being reborn.

I used to laugh to myself about how, as a woman, your story is often attached to the narrative of a man.No matter what you’re doing or how great your work is, sometimes it’s as though you have to be attached to a man to be validated. I’d felt like that at times. And then I started to read about Mary Magdalene and how amazing she was; how she was likely to have been Jesus’s best friend, his confidante. She was a herbalist and a healer, but, you know, her story is written out of the bible and she was ‘a prostitute’. I found a lot of power in the story of Mary Magdalene; a lot of dignity, a lot of grace, a lot of inspiration.

 
 

One of the songs on the album is named ‘Daybed‘ and was penned when she believed she had reached breaking point.

When I wrote it.I knew that the whole of my life was about to fall apart. Everything that I knew, all my stability and everything I was attached to… everything was about to go. But it’s not an angry song. It’s like, wow, this is life. It’s gonna happen. I’m gonna lose everything and have to build it back up again.

 

‘Magdalene’ drops later this year.

    If one of the hijackers had just showed up in the ER with cutaneous anthrax, which would not be “skin irritation “ or a single lesion and not been diagnosed and aggressively treated he would probably have died… Read more <===

    She is simply divine. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes. And still she rises like an eagle in flight.
    Blessed be, Ms. Twigs. The Magdalene rises within you…for She is Love and Light just like Christ, Her Beloved
