"A woman's work/ A woman's prerogative/ A woman's time to embrace/ She must put herself first," the opening verse of Mary Magdalene from FKA twigs' latest full-length album is sung from the perspective of a fallen woman whose fate runs parallel to that of the titular figure. But instead of taking an empathetic approach, she sees her as an inspiring figure ("I'm fever for the fire/ True as Mary Magdalene") and draws female strength and empowerment from her ("Creature of desire/ Come just a little bit closer to me… I can lift you higher/ I do it like Mary Magdalene/ I'm what you desire"). With that as a jumping-off point, twigs dives deep into her own psyche as she ­explores the many faces of relationship and intimacy. Latest single In My Room is no exception. The Naked And Famous / Sunseeker"Digging up the dirt/ Burying the bones/ You don't have to work/ To make it feel like home," the opening verse of The Naked And Famous' first single Sunseeker instantly bursts rays of sunshine and rainbows.
