      Wow, I never heard of this artist before - I kinda live under a rock. I discovered her by accident because this song ended a TV show I was watching, and the voice and message were so raw in it, I had to search it on CZcams to hear more. Wow, what an artist - performance, voice, lyrics, blew me away! Took me by surprise. She's a poet - truly different than anything I've seen before. Now the question is, why haven't I heard of her before?? And that's what amazed me. She's all in!! This isn't usually my genre, but good is good and you know it when you hear it no matter what genre you're comfortable with. She stands apart - spellbinding and enigmatic. There's only two kinds of music anyway - good and bad. She's a poet. She touches the soul. She got my attention and I usually live under a rock when it comes to the latest thing. Mesmerizing. Deserves more recognition. I guess because she's a true artist that doesn't need a PR agent to promote her. She's not that crass. She just loses herself in her music and let's her music do the talking and that's enough for her. How refreshing in this day and age when what you are speaks so loudly, you can't hear what anyone is saying anymore - all surface no depth. My hat's off to you girl! And yes, that stage is to small to contain you! Deserves a bigger venue, but she's a take-what-you- can-get girl - because she can take whatever she can get and make art out of it. Reminds me of those artists who will take bottle caps or zippers and make art out of them. They'll take a common object that most people throw out and make you see it in a whole new way. An artist. You go girl!

      I don't know anything about pole dancing. But I can see how high she grabs the pole, and the strength - core strength et al, that Twigs has, is phenomenal - and so controlled. Love her videos. In her 'studio' video for 'Cellophane', you can see how 'ripped' she is.
      If not seen already, would urge people to give her performances on "later with Jools Holland" a look too - and see her with a sword. She is *so* talented, in so many ways. A 2020's (and earlier!) visual storyteller & singer, with the influences of Kate Bush & Bjork, *so* updated, and accessible to all..

    This is so painful to watch to be honest. I feel like an intruder to her diary. An intruder to her life. We look up to these artists we forget they are real humans too, with real emotions. I hope nothing but the best for twigs. I feel like I already know who this song is for. Kind of. Hope they are both healing from the heartbreak.

People should have to pay for this type of performance. She made this looks absolutely effortless. Every time I hear this song it makes me want to cry. I know who she wrote this for & he didn't even deserve someone like her with this much talent, beauty, grace, and quite obviously love she had for him imho. This musical arrangement is so beautiful as well and I performed classical music for over 6 years.

      Weird, because Twigs did a podcast this year where she says fans jump to a lot of the wrong conclusions. Twigs was attacked by Kristen Stewart fans, not Rob's fans. His ex has crazy fans who attack any woman he gets near, even his co-stars who he's never dated. There is no beef between Rob and Twigs. Rob says, "I''m on good terms with all my exes," and Twigs did a podcast with Julia Fox this year, 2023, where she said Rob is a sweet person and also Cellophane isn't about him. She said fans jump to a lot of wrong conclusions. Her words.

      Her commitment shines through. Lots of artists take themselves seriously (no matter the genre), but that dedication to their craft does not always translate outwardly. There is being an artist and then there is being perceived as an artist (vs an entertainer or vocalist) by the audience.
