“Two Weeks” is the first single for FKA twigs’ upcoming release, LP1 (out August 12). Twigs has released 2 EPs to date, EP1 and EP2 (I see a theme here).
Be wary listening to this song unless you’re near your lover. FKA twigs’ sexuality knows no heights (I thought “Water Me” was hot). On “Two Weeks” sensuality builds with intricate rhythms, pulsing synths, and twigs’ seductive lyrics. “I’ll quench your thirst, just get so high and stop your doubting,” she sings to a lucky man.
What separates her latest single from earlier work is its fullness. This song starts and ends in an erotic fantasy that shrouds the listener, suffocating them in intense intimacy. But that’s part of the draw. What twigs offers to her listeners is a breathtaking escape from reality into an enticing world where, in the case of “Two Weeks,” desire is queen.
