For years now, the only real way to keep up with FKA twigs — a self-described elusive in the pop world — has been through Instagram, where the singer/dancer/artist often showcases simply astounding skill in pole-dancing and costume.
It seems today like literally all of that has been practice — practice for “Cellophane,” a bold and brazen new video from twigs that finds her pole-dancing into heaven and flailing into the depths of inferno.
The song itself is a bare-toothed bare-footed piano ballad. It’s FKA twigs’s first solo song to come out since 2016 and arrives half a decade after her breakthrough, LP1.
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. thank you @Andrew_T_Huang, for elevating my vision beyond words. you are a visionary.
