I was trying to find a clip for Glass & Patron a few months back after it's snippet amazed me in her Google Glass advert concept! So glad it's finally out in full.

That is truly weird! Both the song and especially the video.

FKA twigs is such an incredible artist. The music is on point and the visuals are just stunning (kudos to her for directing this too).

Can't wait to hear what else is on the EP.

OMG.

When that beat kicked in at 2:15 I died. So so outstanding.

She really just keeps delivering and is beginning to feel like a once in a decade kind of artist. So much creativity and sparks of genius. So excited for this EP.

The video really makes this doesn't it? Was listening to it earlier and although it was obviously still brilliant I was wishing I was watching the video along with it. Can't believe it was self-directed, yes Twigs.

The catwalk sections with the vogueing are giving me life. She looks insanely good as well.

She is such an amazing artist. I can't wait to see her album to album growth.

OMG Same.

Have to say, with your signature, I feel like your my musical soulmate rn. Twigs and Tinashe are just my life atm.

btw is anyone else getting a gay theme from this? a sort of love yourself concept.

"Know what you want, what you need but only when your tasting doubt" > so realising you have attractions to the same sex
"Plead yourself to rise from ashes built from lusting for it"

"You are phoenix, your a fire, your are everything, I just want for you to love you" > Pretty much saying you are strong, embrace yourself

"Nature plays a wicked game" >> that line kinda really resonates as if to state how your "supposed" to be attracted to the opposite sex.
"Swallow spartans for the pain, let her hold him to his chest" >> sort of asking people to accept nature plays games?

The fact that the whole video as well encompasses a "Vogue Off" between male dancers in dresses, makeup etc and the vogue originated from the underground gay culture in the 90s.

I hope this was trying to be her message and either I'm clearly stating the obvious or I'm reading it differently but those were my thoughts and it would make the song/video a million times better and more personal if it were.

Edit: and also "hold that pose for me" being a sort of metaphor for keeping strong, don't back down or being influenced to change yourself for others?

I think you might be right to be honest, had a little look at your personal chart and it is spot on. Plus, I know you love Jessie and I am one of the only others on this that does too

Anyway, think the gay themes could be right. Certainly with all the 'vogueing' in the video, it wouldn't surprise me.
