By its very nature, clarification is an act of contraction, an infinite number of possibilities collapsed into one. When all other potential outcomes crumble into dust, there's always a chance that the one left standing might not be the one you were hoping for. On "Papi Pacify", one of the four tracks from FKA twigs' EP2 (out tomorrow, September 17, via Young Turks), she longs for clarification from a lover whose commitment may not be built on a foundation as solid as hers, unafraid of the fallout because damnit she just can't go on any longer without knowing.
With producer Arca's help, the track throbs like an open wound, its narcotic churn threatening to suffocate as FKA twigs does her best to stay above water. "Tell me you're one that I can call, even if you choke," she sings, and the sentiment-- like much of her music thus far-- straddles the often blurry line between desire and obsession.  |

Luxury is a name you probably haven't heard before, but there's a good chance you've heard the freshly minted producer's "J.A.W.S."-- the tune debuted on Disclosure's cracking BBC Essential Mix, and word has it that a few people thought it came from the UK boys themselves, which is understandable considering how Luxury tempers pure pop gorgeousness with canny dance know-how. The glowing house cut, which derives a great amount of euphoria from the breathy vocal sample that streaks its second half, sees release soon via Method, who recently released the great Friend Within single "The Renegade"; if you were listening to Annie Mac's show (her first since returning from maternity leave) just a few minutes ago, she just spun it as well.
