Cellophane is a song by English singer FKA twigs that was released on April 24, 2019, through Young Turks. It serves as a promotional single for twigs' upcoming studio album, LP2.
This track is the first release from the singer in three years since her 2016 song Good To Love.
Lyrically, the word cellophane, a common packaging material, is being used as a metaphor to paint a picture of a tainted love.
Here's what twigs had to say about the background story for this song via Instagram:
when I wrote cellophane over a year ago a visual narrative came to me immediately, I knew I had to learn how to pole-dance to bring it to life, and so that’s what I did. thank you
@Andrew_T_Huang, for elevating my vision beyond words. you are a visionary.
@Andrew_T_Huang, for elevating my vision beyond words. you are a visionary.
Over the piano, she sings on the first verse,
Didn't I do it for you?
Why don’t I do it for you?
Why won't you do it for me
When all I do is for you?
Why don’t I do it for you?
Why won't you do it for me
When all I do is for you?
Then, twigs moves on to the pre-chorus with,
They want to see us, want to see us alone
They want to see us, want to see us apart
They want to see us, want to see us alone
They want to see us, want to see us apart
They want to see us, want to see us apart
They want to see us, want to see us alone
They want to see us, want to see us apart
Before going into the chorus with the lyrics,
And I, just want to feel you're there
And I don't want to have to share our love
I try but I get overwhelmed
All wrapped in cellophane, the feelings that we had
And I don't want to have to share our love
I try but I get overwhelmed
All wrapped in cellophane, the feelings that we had
Alongside the release of her song, she unveiled the music video for Cellophane on the same day. The video was directed by Andre Thomas Huang.
In the video, twigs can be seen walking in metallic heels, before taking center stage and showing off her pole-dancing skills.
Overall, I love the song and the video for Cellophane by FKA twigs. This single is considered as her comeback to the music scene. I absolutely can't wait to hear more from me and the release of LP2.
