In 2018, after three years without a major release, FKA twigs shared a note on her absence: six fibroid tumors had grown in her uterus, causing massive swelling and excruciating pain. For a performer whose force lies in mastery of the self, the medical crisis posed an existential threat: Where to go when the body becomes a site of conflict? “Cellophane” and its surreal video begin inside the question and end somewhere beyond it, plunging the singer into a new phase of self-invention—even as the lyrics fret over romantic inadequacy. Where earlier productions contrasted fragility with strength, “Cellophane” is all transcendent vulnerability. Beneath her vocal acrobatics, the lullaby piano warps and degrades without ever changing key, and its three-and-a-half minutes occupy and stretch out the brief tremor we experience when something cherished threatens to break. –Jazz Monroe

2018年——在几乎沉寂了三年后，FKA twigs 发出了自己的缺席通知：子宫内壁长了六个肌瘤，引起巨大肿胀，疼痛难忍。对于必须掌控自己的表演者而言，这个疾病危机带来了生存威胁：当身体变得一团糟，表演者的未来该何去何从呢？“Cellophane”和它梦幻般的短片从这个问题的内部出发，最终又超脱了它，将歌手投入一个重生的新阶段——即使歌词缺乏些浪漫。早期作品惯于对比脆弱和强大，而“Cellophane”描写的是清一色的脆弱和易损。在曼妙的歌声下，演奏摇篮曲的钢琴逐渐变形、消失，却没有改变一个琴键，当我们心爱的东西遭到崩溃的威胁，钢琴三分半钟的演奏占据并延展了我们体验到的短暂颤抖。
