				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The music video for FKA Twigs’ track “<em>Papi Bones</em>“ has just been released, and it features English rapper and DJ Shygirl. Coming from Twigs’ latest mixtape <em>Caprisongs, </em>the video was directed by previous collaborator Aidan Zamiri, <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/watch-video-for-fka-twigs-and-shygirls-papi-bones-3205722">showing the artists</a> “dressed in Burberry check [and] pushing goats around in strollers“. You can see the result down below.<br />
<iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7vJ9F9YAaxc" width="956" height="538" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe><br />
The choice of clothes in this music video might be a reference to the two artists appearing in a campaign for Burberry last year. Burberry&#8217;s new Olympia bag <a href="https://crackmagazine.net/2021/05/fka-twigs-and-shygirl-star-in-new-burberry-campaign/">was meant to</a> “<em>capture the essence of femininity</em> ….<em> [with their campaign celebrating] three incredible women … who embody the power and beauty of feminine energy</em>”.</p>
<p><a href="https://crackmagazine.net/2021/05/fka-twigs-and-shygirl-star-in-new-burberry-campaign/">Twigs said at the time that</a> “<em>I feel proud. Burberry has such heritage – it’s a very stoic brand that’s extremely iconic. But to be honest, I guess being from Gloucester, I remember that the fittest boys would drive around town in flashy cars with Burberry caps on. All the boys I fancied growing up wore something Burberry, for sure.</em>“</p>
<p><em>Caprisongs </em>came out earlier this year on January 14<sup>th</sup>, and you can read more about it <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/fka-twigs-announces-new-mixtape-caprisongs/">here</a>. This is the fifth music video released from it. Previous ones include “m<em>eta angel</em>“, “<em>Tears In The Club</em>“, “j<em>ealousy</em>“ and “<em>darjeeling</em>“.</p>
<p>She’s been doing quite well in terms of collaborations as well, with acclaimed singer-songwriter The Weeknd featuring in “<em>Tears In The Club</em>“, Nigerian rapper Rema appearing in the video for “j<em>ealousy</em>“ and artists Jorja Smith and Unknown T making an appearance in “darjeeling“.<br />
<iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/cZTKjzAJLCk" width="947" height="538" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe><br />
The tape itself didn’t do too bad either, reaching no.1 on the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/fka-twigs/chart-history/elp/">US Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart</a> and getting a good bit of positive feedback on the way. <a href="https://www.nme.com/reviews/fka-twigs-caprisongs-mixtape-review-3138109">NME</a> called it Twigs’ “<em>brightest, poppiest music</em>“ in a four-star review.</p>
<p>Twigs has also been getting into directing her own movies as of late. You can read <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/fka-twigs-directs-new-short-movie-for-international-woolmark-prize/">here</a> about her latest short film <em>Playscape, </em>which was made to celebrate the International Woolmark Prize for achievements in fashion. Made in collaboration with artist Juliano Nunes, it shows Twigs &amp; co dancing to tracks by Duval Timothy/Rosie Lowe and X-Ray Spex. You can see the video down below.<br />
<iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/lVjN5NEQ7iw" width="956" height="538" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe><br />
<a href="https://deadline.com/2022/04/the-crow-bill-skarsgard-eric-draven-rupert-sanders-1234992876/">And she’s also reportedly</a> going to be doing some acting sometime soon, having been cast in the upcoming remake of <em>The Crow, </em>the infamous 1994 movie where an accident onset led to the death of Bruce Lee’s son, Brandon Lee. The new version will star Bill Skarsgård in Brandon Lee’s role of Eric Draven, and will reportedly be directed by Rupert Sanders of <em>Snow White and the Huntsman</em> and <em>Ghost in the Shell </em>fame.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gloucestershire-born artist FKA Twigs (Tahliah Debrett Barnett) is someone known for her wide variety of talents. From writing songs, singing them and producing records, all the way up to dancing and acting; in her latest venture, she’s taken to the world of filmmaking. Directing her own short film in celebration of the International Woolmark Prize (honouring achievements related to fashion), Twigs’ new feature <em>Playscape </em>allows her to show off both her dance and directing skills.</p>
<p>The soundtrack features Duval Timothy and Rosie Lowe’s “<em>He Hu</em>“, before giving way to X-Ray Spex’s “<em>Identity</em>“. It was a collaboration with Juliano Nunes (of Avant Garden collective) and was filmed in New York City’s Noguchi Foundation Museum.</p>
<p>Twigs has said <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/watch-fka-twigs-dance-to-x-ray-spexs-identity-in-new-short-film-she-directed-3203261">that it’s</a> “<em>an honour to be chosen by the Woolmark Prize to work with such talented designers</em>“. You can see the film down below.<br />
<iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/lVjN5NEQ7iw" width="888" height="500" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe><br />
And that’s not all she’s done recently. You can read <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/fka-twigs-announces-new-mixtape-caprisongs/">here</a> about Twigs’ latest mixtape, <em>Caprisongs, </em>which was released in January. It reached no.1 on the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/artist/fka-twigs/chart-history/elp/">US Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart</a> and achieved her usual wave of positive reviews in the process.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.nme.com/reviews/fka-twigs-caprisongs-mixtape-review-3138109">NME</a> called <em>Caprisongs</em> “<em>the brightest, poppiest music of her career</em>“ in their four-star review, noting that <em>“After pouring her darkest moments into ‘Magdalene’, this varied and playful mixtape represents a moment of release, though it remains to be seen whether Barnett will head further into this direction, or enter a new album era recharged. You suspect, knowing twigs and her crew of chameleon-like collaborators, that she’ll probably continue to do both at once.”</em></p>
<p>And she’s been finding time for collaborations as well, appearing on the new Yung Lean mixtape – <em>Stardust. </em>The two worked on the track “<em>Bliss</em>“, the video of which you can see below and was directed by Aidan Zamiri.<br />
<iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2N1liztehz8" width="717" height="538" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe><br />
<a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/watch-fka-twigs-dance-to-x-ray-spexs-identity-in-new-short-film-she-directed-3203261">NME</a> describes the video as “<em>’00s nostalgia</em> “, noting the influence of Nelly’s 2002 video for the track “<em>Dilemma</em>“, which has apparently been keeping the internet meme community busy for a while now. References to the noughties feature, such as an old Nokia phone and Microsoft Excel.</p>
<p>It’s been a bit of a comeback for Lean as well, what with it being his latest full-length work under the Yung Lean moniker, following on from <em>Starz </em>in 2020. Some of the other big names on his mixtape include Skrillex, Thaiboy Digital and Jack Donaghue.</p>
<p>It’s been a good past few years for Twigs, with fans probably as eager as ever for the follow-up to her 2019 studio LP “<em>Magdalene</em>“. If you’re interested in purchasing her latest mixtape or some merchandise, you can follow the link to her website <a href="https://www.fkatwigsofficial.com/">here</a>.</p>
