She debuted “Twiggy” live last weekend during a surprise appearance at Hayley Williams’ headlining set at Newport Folk Festival. Check out the recorded version of the song below.“Twiggy” pairs a warm, finger-picked guitar arrangement with lyrics about a close and complicated relationship illustrated in small details: a Lexus driving backwards, “a wrinkle where your eyes should close.” “I wrote Twiggy about people I’ve been with that lack both butts and emotional availability. And how I like that. Or maybe it’s just about the messiness of…
