FKA Twigs Shines at Charity Concert for Gaza and Sudan Relief Efforts
FKA Twigs recently made a special appearance at a charity concert in London to show support for relief efforts in Gaza and Sudan. The talented singer took the stage at the Troxy to perform her haunting song “Cellophane,” which was released in 2019.
The concert was organized by Mustafa as part of the collective Artists For Aid, with all proceeds going towards War Child UK’s response plan in Gaza and Sudan. This plan focuses on providing essential aid such as food, water, and hygiene products to those in need. The event featured other notable performers including Bint Mbareh, Daniel Caesar, Earl Sweatshirt, Nicolás Jaar, and Yasiin Bey. Additionally, Mustafa was joined by Clairo for a duet, and comedian Ramy Youssef also made a special appearance.
“Cellophane” marked FKA Twigs’ first solo release since 2016’s “Good to Love.” The song was accompanied by a visually stunning and emotionally charged video directed by Andrew Thomas Huang, known for his work with artists like Björk.
Taking to Twitter, FKA Twigs shared her creative process behind “Cellophane,” mentioning how a visual narrative came to her immediately when she wrote the song. She expressed her gratitude to Andrew Thomas Huang for bringing her vision to life through the mesmerizing pole-dancing performance in the music video.
In March, FKA Twigs delighted fans with a new single titled “Talk to Me,” a collaboration with Two Shell. The singer has been teasing her forthcoming album on Discord, revealing that it was primarily inspired by her time spent in Prague where she developed a fondness for techno music. While the album is not strictly techno, she mentioned that the spirit of the genre is present throughout the project, describing it as deep but not sad, as she has moved past feelings of sadness.
Despite facing challenges like having demos leaked by a hacker last October, FKA Twigs remains focused on her music. She admitted to not keeping up with the new music scene but expressed her admiration for Two Shell. The collaboration with Two Shell signifies a new chapter for FKA Twigs as she continues to evolve her sound and artistic vision.
Overall, FKA Twigs’ involvement in the charity concert and her dedication to creating music that resonates with listeners demonstrate her commitment to using her platform for positive change and artistic expression. Fans can look forward to more innovative and heartfelt music from this talented artist in the future.
