FKA Twigs Takes You Behind The Scenes Of 'Cellophane''s Pole-Dancing In Practice Film

FKA twigs' new video for "Cellophane" is insane. We, the lucky viewers, follow the alluring singer twirling around the pole and gliding across the floor, stretching to almost impossible angles. Then, in true FKA twigs style, she cranks things up on the Richter scale of weirdness, sticks a stiletto into a dragon-like figure, then slides down the seven levels of Hell on a scale while speedily twirling. It looks like it took a tremendous quantity of body control that came from endless hours of practice. Right now, FKA twigs has unveiled just what that preparation looks like in Practice, a short film about the method of preparing for "Cellophane."


"Cellophane" is FKA twigs' first music video in three years. To match her mystique and flair for original aesthetic, the video had to be special. The seven-minute preparation video showcases the outrageous quantity of twirling done as practice. At one point, she reveals that she had to perform the routine for eight hours. But not everything is successive practice. The behind-the-scenes footage also shows FKA twigs smiling and laughing with her team in between shots. It chronicles the cute journey to deliver perhaps FKA twigs' best video thus far.


FKA twigs released "Cellophane" in April, the video directed by frequent Björk collaborator Andrew Thomas Huang. She learned how to pole dance for the video. She's currently on a brief 10-date tour that kicked off on May 7 in Los Angeles and wraps up on June 14 in Australia.
