FKA twigs unveils new track ‘Figure 8’

Post-completing a residency at Manchester’s International Festival, FKA twigs has also found the time to work on a new EP.

Now, she’s unveiled a new cut to be taken from it. ‘Figure 8’ comes from her ‘Melissa’ EP - that follows on from her debut album ‘LP1’ - and was premiered earlier this evening on Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 show, as his World Record.

The track follows on from ‘Glass & Patron’, which was showcased alongside a video earlier this year, while other tracks rumoured to appear on the EP’s tracklisting include ‘I’m Your Doll,’ ‘In Time,’ and ‘Mothercreep’.

The EP also saw BOOTS taking on production duties, who recently opened up to DIY about his work with twigs. “I pushed her a lot,” BOOTS says, “because I want to hear her voice, and hear her sing - because I know she can. She does, she sings her ass off on it. I saw a performance of her doing ‘Hide’ in Mexico or something, and she’s projecting in this place, and I was like, damn ‘you never really did this on a record yet’. She said….‘well…’. I had her project in a small space, and she just went for it. She’s very open-minded.”
