DANCE, DANCE, REVOLUTION: FKA TWIGS CHANNELED MADONNA AND PUT MOVEMENT CENTERSTAGE FOR HER CONGREGATA CONCERT
Twigs’ glitchy, bass-centric sound has most frequently been compared to Aaliyah, Sade, Portishead, and Bjork, but the biggest influence on Congregata seems to be Madonna—specifically her Blond Ambition tour, which was famously captured in the documentary Truth or Dare. Many of Congregata’s elements seem like direct quotes from Blond Ambition: the vogue breakdowns, the front woman being carried around on the shoulders of her dancers, and even the costumes, which included two dancers in kilt-like skirts similar to ones Blond Ambition designer Jean Paul Gaultier made early in his career.
Tellingly, it wasn’t Twigs who wore the bleach-blonde hairdo, silver corset, and wide trousers that made up Madonna’s most iconic Blond Ambition look but one of her dancers. It was a not so subtle way of underlining the extent to which Congregata is about movement as much as music.

Diplo: "Madonna created the World we live in"
Quote:
You co-produced several songs on Madonna's new one, including her new single. What do you make of the ageism she faces?
She created the world we live in. It already sucks to be a woman in the music industry, but to be a boss woman is even harder. She sold out her tour in minutes, but no one seems to want her to succeed — "Madonna, we've been there, done that, now we're about Kim Kardashian." Her song "Ghosttown" was a guaranteed Number One for anybody else, but she didn't get a fair shot. With "Bitch I'm Madonna," everyone said there's no way it will go anywhere, but I'm like, "Screw it, it represents you more than anything."
