"holy terrain" marks FKA twigs' second single leading up to her much anticipated sophomore album, Magdalene. The trap-gospel positions twigs at the center of her own creation story as she attempts to find a man to stand by her in a world marked by the tragedy of sin. "Take me to a deep river / Steal a kiss when I'm lost in the mist" equates the new relationship to a baptismal rebirth. In conversation with her is Future in the role of her lover atoning for his past failures. He needs her to "Pray for my sins, make me stronger where I'm weak." "I love when he gets emo," twigs said of Future. "It’s just so beautiful when he opens up." Production is led by Skrillex's prowess and the ever-ubiquitous Jack Antonoff, who are both credited as co-writers though the story is twigs' own. Having recently experienced heartbreak she described as "all-encompassing," twigs has also been forthcoming about laparoscopic surgery in 2018 that caused her to "doubt if my body would ever feel the same again." "holy terrain" proves that she has found power and respect in her body once again. Magdalene is due out October 25 via Young Turks.
