FKA twigs has already blessed us today with details of her new album, and now she’s gifted us with “holy terrain”, the second single from MAGDALENE, complete with an enchanting visual.
The track is produced by twigs herself, along with Skrillex and Jack Antonoff, and features Atlantan rapper Future. The single continues the artist’s run of past and forthcoming rap collaborations, following her 2018 feature on A$AP Rocky’s “Fukk Sleep”.
Dressed in black with red accessories, the majority of the visual sees twigs and a group of dancers take to a barren desert, before flexing flawless choreography around a fire after the sun has set. Dizzying camera work also follows twigs as she sings directly into the lens, showing off mesmerising red and blue contact lenses. The video ends with the artist covered in white body paint and sitting on an enormous black bull.
The visual is directed by twigs and Nick Walker, with styling by AVANTgarden collaborator Matthew Josephs, make-up by 2019 Dazed100-er Daniel Sällström, and choreography by Tovaris Wilson and Theo Oliver.
“holy terrain” is the second single to be released from MAGDALENE, following “cellophane” – the album’s closing track – which came out in April. The new track is bookended by bars from Future, and is worlds away from her delicate previous release.
