Video Premiere: FKA twigs - Video Girl
We had a blast at FKA twigs' Copenhagen concert last week. Too awesome, and a massive crowd! And so damn hot, literally. We were melting from the get go. One of the crowd favourites was Video Girl - the true story of FKA as Tahliah Debrett Barnett making her way through a slew of UK pop videos just a few years ago. Like this one for instance. Here's the visuals to her tale and WOW, this is all kinds of intense. Starting off with the unsettling Preface from her stunning LP1 album, we get a glimpse of sheer horror as her lover (?) is prepared to be executed. With that terror firmly in place Video Girl kicks off and twigs dances around the strapped down man. Travi$ Scott turns up like a demon with a mouth full of blood. WOW, it's a lot to take in. An idea popped into our head watching. It could be about truly letting go of the past, moving forward and experience all the hurt and perhaps guilt of heading in a new direction. Plus a truly ironic twist to the sexiness of standard pop videos. Humping a man strapped down on death row is a theme not found in yer Katy Perry's or Taylor Swift's! Thoughts?
