Listen to a new FKA Twigs song, ‘Video Girl’
Second taste of debut ‘LP1’ recounts the Londoner’s previous career as a backing dancer.
A new track has emerged from London artist FKA twigs’ debut album, ‘LP1’.
‘Video Girl’ links up with the lead single ‘Two Weeks’ in previewing Tahliah Barnett’s first work, the follow on to last year’s ‘EP1’ and ‘EP2’.
The track details the fallbacks and bad advice that surrounded her time spent as a backing dancer (she can be spotted in the background of Jessie J clips and plenty others). “You’re gonna get yourself broke one day,” she sings, referencing the snappable nickname she picked up that also doubles up as her artist name.
“I wrote that very shortly after I stopped being a video girl. When I got signed, I stopped dancing — I’d given up that part of my life,” Barnett said about the song in an interview with Pitchfork last week.
Intentionally disjointed production-wise, the song’s also responsible for arguably the most forthright, autobiographical vocal line across the whole record. Listen below.
‘LP1’ is released on 11th August via Young Turks.
