Remi Wolf Returns with ‘Twiggy,’ Joined by Hayley Williams at Newport Folk

Two years after her second album Big Ideas, Remi Wolf has resurfaced with a new single, “Twiggy.” The track arrived without prior announcement, marking a quiet but notable return from an artist whose debut established her as a vivid, unfiltered presence in pop.

Its first public performance came last weekend at the Newport Folk Festival, not in a dedicated solo set, but as a surprise interlude during Hayley Williams’ performance. The Paramore frontwoman invited Wolf onstage, giving the song a live debut that felt less like a promotional rollout and more like a shared moment between two musicians comfortable in each other’s orbit.

Wolf’s writing has always balanced absurd humor with sharp emotional clarity, and “Twiggy” leans toward the latter. Beneath its nimble production, the lyrics cut through with direct admissions of heartache: “Fighting with your exes / You just miss me / I just miss you / We just missed our exit.” She’s described the song as being about people she’s been with “that lack both butts and emotional availability,” adding wryly, “Or maybe it’s just about the messiness of addiction? Idk, you decide.”

The single does not announce a new album, and no further details have been shared. For now, “Twiggy” stands alone—a lean, measured reintroduction that trusts stillness as much as Wolf’s usual technicolor exuberance.
