FKA Twigs is unique in more than its looks and style, but its creativity is unique. She walks the fine line between weird and artsy, her music video concepts can be hard to grasp. In one video she’s an Egyptian goddess, in another she’s tied up. It can be hard to keep up, but her talent speaks for itself. Her music may not be your cup of tea, but her name is on many people’s lips. I prefer her without the exaggerated makeup, since she is a beautiful girl. I’ve included one of her best songs (in my opinion) at the bottom that I think most people will like her. I warn you now, if you don’t like alternative sounding music and are open minded, this may not be for you. It is quite mysterious, but we were able to find out some facts about it.
