FKA twigs: If I sing really well, you can’t question that

FKA twigs is a dancer and a singer, but still, she's often referred as "someone's girlfriend" - “I feel like I’ve been indoctrinated to feel like when I’m with a man, things are better,” she says in a Guardian interview - “regardless of whether they are or not. I’ve been made to feel like, if I’m with a man, then I’m doing the right thing". There's another issue - of being "different" - “People thought I was quite odd-looking until a white male validated my beauty. But if I sing really well, you can’t question that. If I dance well, you can’t question that. If I express myself honestly, or if I’m pole dancing or wushu-ing excellently, you can’t question that. I’ve never felt more beautiful because I’ve never been more skilled. Everything else is ephemeral.” Her new album 'Magdalene' is out on 25 October.
