FKA Twigs is unique in more than just looks and style, but its creativity is like no other. She dances the fine line between the weird and the artistic, her music video concepts can be difficult to understand. In one video, she is an Egyptian goddess, in another she is enslaved. It can be difficult to keep up, but your talent speaks for itself. His music may not be your thing, but his name is on the lips of many people. I prefer her without the exaggerated makeup, as she is a beautiful girl. I have included one of his best songs (in my opinion) at the end that I think most people will like.
