FKA twigs Makes Her Grand Return Spinning On A Pole In "Cellophane"

It's everything you've hoped for and more

by Allison Stubblebine

FKA twigs is back with "Cellophane," her first new single in three years. Along with the track, she shared a gold-drenched visual in which she sings the melodramatic lyrics while swinging and spinning from a pole in chunky platform heels and a bedazzled lingerie set.

As the singer climbs up her pole, we're transported from the glimmering stage and into her sci-fi fantasy realm. A dragon-esque creature floats on in, and suddenly, FKA twigs is both plummeting into the abyss and spinning from the pole again, with the visual flashing back-and-forth. She lands in a pile of orange mud and is subsequently bathed in it by masked creatures before the video concludes.

"When I wrote cellophane over a year ago a visual narrative came to me immediately," the singer shared via a press release. "I knew I had to learn how to pole-dance to bring it to life, and so that's what I did. thank you @andrewthomashuang, for elevating my vision beyond words. you are a visionary. @kellyvon thank you for being with me every step of the way on my precious pole yellow brick road. working with you both on this is a dream come true."
