Watch FKA Twigs Transform in “Perfect Stranger” Music Video

FKA Twigs has released the music video for "Perfect Stranger," the second single for her forthcoming LP Eusexua. Twigs continues to charge forward with another dance-forward track, this time professing unconditional love for the "perfect stranger."The London-based experimental alt-pop artist cuts right to the chase with the opening lyrics "I don't know the name of the town you're from, your star sign, or the school you failed. I don't know and I don't care," illustrating the moment where Twigs is ready to risk it all just for the night.Dry instrumentation and a heavy bassline create a feeling of intimacy as the song builds up to the hook, which proclaims "You're beautiful, you're worth it.

Bon Iver Breathes a Sigh of Relief on SABLE,

Bon Iver is back, but not really by choice. SABLE, his first project in over five years (since i,i, in 2019) stemmed "from personal necessity," Justin Vernon told The New Yorker in a rare interview earlier this week."It was just time. Some of these songs have been bubbling for five years."Also marking his first EP since 2009, SABLE,'s triptych of tracks sees the enigmatic folk collective embracing the darkness – à la one of the word "sable"'s many definitions of "near blackness.""It’s three, and it couldn’t be longer," he noted of the project's incredibly intentional tracklist: "THINGS BEHIND THINGS BEHIND THINGS," "S P E Y S I D E" and "AWARDS SEASON," led by a 12-second introductory track "...""It runs the gamut from accepting anxiety to accepting guilt to accepting hope.

AUDREY NUNA Balances Her “SOFT SKIN” and “HARD FEELINGS” on ‘TRENCH’

AUDREY NUNA's armor is on, though she's actually rather unguarded. The 25-year-old New Jersey-based musician, who aims to use fashion as a defense mechanism, has crafted a bionic hero persona for herself surrounding her anticipated sophomore studio LP, TRENCH, on which she looks deeper into her innate duality. Split into two disks entitled "SOFT SKIN" and "HARD FEELINGS," the 16-track offering closes out an accomplished year for NUNA and finds her in her typical transcendental zone – more reflective and raw than ever before.She told Hypebeast more about this concept in an interview back in July, noting that she wanted to "illustrate a yearning and desire to stay soft through the underbelly of adolescence while dealing with all of the dark things that happen that can harden you as a person....

Ryan Murphy Wants to “Get the Band Together” for More ‘American Horror Story’

Ryan Murphy and John Landgraf are not quite done with American Horror Story and it looks like they might be bringing more to the screen. Landgraf, FX chairman, recently clarified to Variety that the series was "never meant" to be over.

American Horror Story gave Ryan an opportunity to just create all these worlds. But having done it 12 years in a row, I think there was just an appetite for something different, something fresh. Both he and I were more excited about this, which is a complete departure, than doing another season. He explained, "It just meant, let's rest hat, and put Ryan’s creativity and sense of invention to wor...
