FKA twigs has released her first new music in three years, a new single called "Cellophane".
The track arrives five years since her debut album LP1 and is the first song from an as-yet untitled second album, which is due later this year.
“Throughout my life I've practiced my way to being the best I could be, it didn't work this time,” twigs said of the process of working on her second album.
“I had to tear down every process I'd ever relied on. Go deeper. Rebuild. Start again.”
The video for the song, which was directed by Andrew Thomas Huang, shows twigs performing a pole dancing routine that she trained for months before shooting. At the time of writing, the video already had almost half a million views.
“When I wrote 'Cellophane' over a year ago a visual narrative came to me immediately, I knew I had to learn how to pole-dance to bring it to life, and so that's what I did,” she explained.
twigs has confimed a number of festival performances this summer, including an appearance at Primavera in Barcelona on 30 May. A London show is scheduled for 28 May with venue and ticket details TBC.
