Unlike?FKA twigs, you most likely haven’t split from film’s?third- or fourth-most famous vampire?after years spent hounded by the British tabloids. But on her upcoming album?MAGDALENE,?twigs exorcises her heartbreak with such precision and candor that the journey feels universal. Her singles to date have led us through defining stages of separation—dismay at the widening gulf in intimacy (“home with you”), the plaintive, full-body shock that rushes in immediately after the split (“cellophane”), and the tentative, scrutinizing spark of hope in a new flirtation (“holy terrain”)—all over gorgeous baroque electronics, as stunning and disorienting as these huge emotions.

一般人很難擁有FKA twigs的魄力，能在被英國的八卦小報(bào)糾纏了幾年之后，徹底走出與電影史上第三或第四出名的吸血鬼的戀情。然而在即將發(fā)行的新專輯《MAGDALENE（抹大拉）》中，twigs已然走出了陰霾，理智而直率地將這段感情描述成一次尋常的經(jīng)歷。到目前為止，twigs發(fā)布的幾首單曲完整體現(xiàn)了她了分手前后的心境——對兩人間裂隙加深的恐慌（《home with you（與你同歸）》），分手后如晴天霹靂般的震驚和哀傷（《cellophane（玻璃紙）》）以及重燃希望火花，卻仍充滿猶豫和試探的新戀情（《holy terrain（神圣之地）》）——這些巴洛克風(fēng)格的電子樂作品令人目眩神迷，曲中感情表現(xiàn)的淋漓盡致，同樣具有強(qiáng)大的魔力。

Now, in “sad day,” the fourth teaser track before?MAGDALENE?drops Friday, twigs beckons for her lover as he steals further away. She begins with a bohemian gentleness that may just turn his head: “Taste the fruit of me/Make love to all you see,” she coaxes in her lovely falsetto, a woodland sprite urging the wanderer back into the forest. But even she must admit that shadows loom; soon enough, with a heavier and almost wry intonation, twigs allows that he’d act “foolishly” to still love her, that she’s “made him sad before.” Crackling digital effects suggest insistent rain, and a sly, scratchy bass drop pierces the optimistic haze. twigs’ co-producers on the track—Nicolas Jaar,?Skrillex, Noah Goldstein, Benny Blanco—flex their thumbs in these heavy synth instrumentals. The wistful, future-shock distortion of her vocals alludes to her own defiance and anger, before she slips effortlessly back into airy entreaties. twigs’ eyes are open and her heart is tired.

《MAGDALENE》周五正式發(fā)行前，twigs發(fā)布了第四支預(yù)告單曲《sad day（悲傷的一天）》，在曲中表達(dá)了她對漸行漸遠(yuǎn)的愛人的挽留之意。歌曲的開頭是她帶著一絲放蕩的溫存低語，希望能使他回心轉(zhuǎn)意：“Taste the fruit of me/Make love to all you see（嘗嘗我身體的累累誘果，向你眼前的所見宣泄愛意）”她用她那甜美的假聲溫柔勸誘，仿佛是林中女妖勸誘游蕩的牧人回到森林里一樣。但即便甜蜜如此，她也不得不承認(rèn)分手的陰影已經(jīng)逼近。很快，她便換一種更沉重，甚至有些扭曲的聲音，承認(rèn)他如果繼續(xù)愛她就是“foolishly（愚蠢的）”，承認(rèn)自己“made him sad before（曾經(jīng)讓他傷透了心）”。細(xì)碎爆裂的電子音效如同綿密的雨滴，一聲詭譎尖利的低音刺穿了樂曲前半段朦朧的歡樂。Twigs的唱片制作人Nicolas Jaar, Skrillex, Noah Goldstein, Benny Blanco是這些震撼人心的音效的幕后功臣。她扭曲失真的聲音，充滿了依依不舍和對未來的恐懼，也將她心中的蔑視和憤怒發(fā)泄的淋漓盡致。之后，她又毫不費(fèi)力地跳回了先前空洞的懇求和挽留。只是這一次，她已不再盲目，心中的熱情之火也早已被疲憊澆熄。
