FKA Twigs & Shygirl's "Papi Bones" Video Is Basically A Hot Burberry Ad

Featuring a baby goat.

FKA twigs’ ever-expanding Caprisongs universe has grown by one new bold visual. This time it’s the music video for “papi bones,” the mixtape’s steamy club banger featuring U.K. artist shygirl.

For those that haven’t been following, the singer has been shooting strange, low-key visuals to accompany the songs on her latest mixtape over the past few months. They’ve leaned more artistic than commercial, and the video for “papi bones” is no different, involving high fashion, homely interiors, and — randomly — a baby goat.

Shot in a grungy indoor location, the video opens up with twigs grinding on a motorcycle parked inside a house, decked out head-to-toe in Burberry’s iconic plaid print. If it wasn’t for the obvious fact that it isn’t, we’d think this was an alternate dimension Burberry ad.

Shygirl also makes an on-theme appearance draped in full-body Burberry, as she raps inside a living room with normal people moving about. Whose house is this again?

Oh, and of course, mid-way through, a baby goat arrives because, well — who doesn’t love a baby goat!

The brief, not even two-minute visual is all a bit random, wacky, and very clearly playful, which seems to be the point of these Caprisongs videos. On Instagram, twigs called them, “anti videos,” a label that very much fits the spontaneous and unpolished sensibility of these clips.

What remains constant regardless of the label or budget, however, is twigs’ own star-power, which shines fiercely through no matter if she’s spinning on a pole in a glossily CGI’d masterpiece, or gyrating on a dusty carpet (though we cannot recommend the latter).

When it all comes to a close, we’re just thankful “papi bones” gave us a glimpse of twigs and shygirl’s version of chaotic suburban living. Where can we sign up?
