FKA twigs returns with another interesting music video. The British singer, whose "Two Weeks" and "Video Girl" clips were among last year's bests, debuted on Wednesday, January 14 the video for another "LP1" track called "Pendulum".
Directed by twigs herself, it features her getting all tied up by her own braids. She looks vulnerable as she sings while suspended from the ceiling before she's eventually seen freely dancing above a slimy, metallic CGI sea.
Twigs recently landed on the cover of V Magazine's "New Sound of Soul" issue. In an accompanying interview, she talked about her music which is sometimes called "alternatie R&B." She said, "If I say 'alternative red' to you, it's not red, is it? 'Alternative R&B' is patronizing to R&B."
"R&B is R&B - it doesn't need an alternative," she added. "There are plenty of artists now experimenting with electronic music, manipulating sounds. We can make a train into a synth. We can make drips into hi-hats. I can record sounds on my phone and make a song out of a city. I don't know what that has to do with R&B."
