Ahead of a ten date international tour that begins in May.
FKA Twigs has released a new single. The music marks the first from Twigs in three years and arrives five years after her acclaimed debut album LP1.
Haunting and atmospheric, ‘Cellophane’ utilises minimalism to showcase the breadth of Twigs’ vocal range over an emotive piano motif and sparse electronics. The single arrives with an accompanying visual that features direction from Björk collaborator Andrew Thomas Huang.
Discussing the writing process behind her new single the multifaceted creative states,
“Throughout my life I’ve practiced my way to being the best I could be, it didn’t work this time. I had to tear down every process I’d ever relied on. Go deeper. Rebuild. Start again.”
Listen to ‘Cellophane’ below.
An accompanying press release for the single acknowledges that the music is lifted from an as-yet untitled second album which is due for release later this year. Last week FKA Twigs revealed an international tour itinerary that includes a performance at Barcelona’s Primavera Sound.
