Get your mouth open, you’re high

The video is one single, slow camera move: FKA twigs enthroned as a gilded colossus in a temple, miniature versions of herself dancing at her feet, the frame drifting back until she towers over everything. Nabil Elderkin directed it, but the nerve is hers — the same nerve that carries the song, the lead single from her debut LP1.

“Two Weeks” is a seduction song that skips the pleading. Written and produced by twigs with Emile Haynie, it gives her a fortnight to make you forget whoever you came with, and it doesn’t ask so much as inform. The production stays whisper-quiet — sub-bass, a few claps, acres of empty space — so the boldest lines arrive in a voice barely above breath. That gap between what is said and how softly it is said is the whole trick.

Watch it once for the song, then once more just for the zoom.
