The Italian date of FKA Twigs' tour

FKA Twigs is about to come back. Finally, on October 25th she released her second album, the follow-up to the successful LP1. The project, entitled MAGDALENE, like the biblical figure of Mary Magdalene, was composed over three years, in a difficult period for the artist, characterized by a break-up and a surgery to remove a tumor in the uterus. The artist herself talked about this rough months in an interview, saying that the work was almost cathartic and that it is dedicated to “every lover that I’ve ever had, and every lover that I’m going to have.” A few weeks ago twigs also unveiled the artwork of the album, a slightly creepy portrait of her made by Matthew Stone.

my dearest MAGDALENE you beautiful, stoic, ephemeral beast. at times i howled at you to present yourself to me and it was at those times you evaded me. left me in the cold, dead at night, face down in my wet pillow. it was only when i offered my own sometimes fruitful, often poisoned teat to raise you that you would look me in the eye, drink, submit and allow me to bend and contort you into a sculpture that mirrored my own truth. and here we are. now you stand bigger than i will ever be, others will dance with you, enjoy you, question you, cry with you and marvel at your broken excellence. but i promise i won’t get jealous, i love you the most so i will let you go. now to find my reflection again. look at myself naked for a while. my breasts hang lower than they did before. it happens i guess. my new album MAGDALENE is available for pre-order and is out october 25th. link in bio thank you @matthewstoneart for creating this beautiful artwork, always my confidant, the first artist i ever met, inspirational papa x

MAGDALENE is mainly produced by the FKA herself but sees the collaboration of artists with the likes of Nicolas Jaar, Skrillex, Jack Antonoff and Future. The Atlanta rapper appears on the track Holy terrain, the second single extracted (following Cellophane) and in the new video that has already reached over a million views on YouTube.

Recently FKA Twigs has announced a tour, which will arrive in Milan on November 29 at Fabrique. The concert will be a must-see event to attend, as the show is filled with amazing sounds, performances, costumes, pole dance, Wushu, sets and lights. Tickets for the live show are available on DICE, the famous English ticketing and music discovery app that enters the Italian market for the first time. The technology of the platform is an effective tool against secondary ticketing. How? In three ways: tickets are available two hours before the live show only on your own phone, with two authentication steps and "animated" tickets. Waiting lists that are activated in case of sold outs and refund procedures eliminate the need for resale. In addition, the app can monitor and ban anyone trying to "scam" the system.

To join the community of DICE, download the APP on iOs and Android.
