Holy s*** Only recently seen T Pain's and it was incredible. Can't wait to see how she performs her music
God her voice is straight out of heaven
I forgive her for her milk merchant ways
new song is better than Caprisongs, proper return to her form
but the live in NPR sounded better
Song f***ing sucks so bad no way people itt think its a return to form maybe her most generic 'nothing' song ever
“I think it’s important for specifically young women in a creative industry to have the confidence to understand their business and have the confidence to understand their worth and have the confidence to want more for themselves,” she says, tacking on a reminder that it’s okay to ask questions. It’s okay to not be the most studied or still be in command of what aligns and what doesn’t. It’s also for a similar reason that she came forward with her story as a survivor of domestic abuse. She doesn’t retread the horrific details, and she doesn’t need to – they are available and on the public record as part of her civil lawsuit against LeBeouf (he has claimed “many of these allegations are not true”) which is due to go to court next spring. Never did twigs imagine going through something like that, let alone speaking about it in the open. Her intention was to release the pain so that she may once again be healed and so that others, also like her, can maybe somehow find a way to do the same. “I just didn’t want anyone else to get hurt, and that trumped any way that I felt about what people may think about me now, positively or negatively.” To that end, she lent her celebrity to an organisation called Sistah Space that provides resources to survivors of abuse with a particular focus on people of African heritage. Its operations manager, Djanomi Headley, says twigs has become “like family,” collaborating with drop-ins, material support and raising awareness of the organisation’s work. Headley credits her with helping to secure enough signatures for parliament to debate Valerie’s Law, which would ensure mandatory cultural competency training for police officers and others to respond to the specific needs of Black women in domestic violence situations. The endorsement, Headley says, “created a huge snowball effect and gained us the necessary exposure to ensure that the voice and perspective of Black women affected by domestic abuse were seen and heard.” The significance of twigs’ decision to use her voice is not lost on Headley. “Twigs advocating for survivors is saying, ‘Whilst the world is looking at me, I am choosing to look at you. I am seeing you, I am hearing you and I will use my position to ensure that others do, too.’”
