The Pop-Up Artist category contains mostly pop or dance acts so far, but today I've added a first class Soul Artist to the mix! Meet FKA Twigs (which stands for Formerly Known As Twigs), a 25-year old singer and dancer from the UK. She first wanted to make a career in dancing: she has starred in several Jessie J music videos and people call her Twigs because of the way her joints crack (thanks for that neat fact Wikipedia :p) But turns out she can sing too! And oh my, what a voice she has! Check out her latest single "Two Weeks" : a dreamy soul track, that's perfect for escaping into another world. In the music video, the songstress is a giant golden covered goddess, flanked by dancers (I'm seriously suspecting the dancers to be Twigs herself!) moving effortlessly in the background. This video only intensifies the etherealness of the song itself. Another artist to watch in my book! Watch the music video below. |
