FKA Twigs made a special appearance at a charity concert in London to support aid efforts in Gaza and Sudan. The singer took to the Troxy stage to perform her song 'Cellophane', which was released in 2019.
The concert was organized by Mustafa as part of the Artists For Aid collective, with proceeds benefiting War Child UK's Gaza and Sudan response project, which focuses on food, water and hygiene-based aid. Other performers included Bint Mbareh, Daniel Caesar, Earl Sweatshirt, Nicolás Jaar and Yasiin Bey. Clairo joined Mustafa in a duet, while comedian Ramy Youssef also appeared.
FKA Twigs released “Cellophane” in 2019, marking her first new solo effort since 2016's “Good to Love.” It was accompanied by a haunting and moving video directed by Andrew Thomas Huang, known for his collaborations with Björk.
Vocalist He wrote on Twitter: “When I wrote cellophane over a year ago a visual narrative immediately came to me, I knew I had to learn how to pole-dance to bring it to life, and I did. thank you @Andrew_T_Huang, for elevating my vision beyond words. you are a visionary.”
In March, Twigs made a welcome return to music with Two Shell on the single “Talk to Me”. Earlier this year, she started teasing her upcoming album on Discord. The project was mainly inspired by his move to Prague a few summers ago, where he “fell in love with techno”. The musician clarified that “the album is not techno, but the spirit is there”, adding: “It's deep but not sad… I'm not sad anymore.”
While in album mode, Twigs hasn't kept up with much of the new music landscape, but she's mentioned that she's recently been drawn to Two Shell. Their partnership is a leap forward for Twigs, which started building its next season from scratch after dozens of demos were leaked by a hacker last October. “I got hacked, someone leaked 85 of my demos,” he wrote on Instagram Stories at the time. “Good, no new music in a while.”
