FKA twigs released her new song “Killer” last month, and, now, she’s back with a music video for the single. Directed by Yoann Lemoine, the visual finds FKA twigs performing intricate choreography with actor Arón Piper on a beach in Portugal. Watch below.
“Twigs approached me with a beautiful treatment for ‘Killer’ that she had written about her personal story. It felt empowering and vulnerable at the same time,” Lemoine shared in a press release. “I said yes instantly when she asked me to direct it. It was the perfect opportunity to portray her in a way that we have not seen before, raw and intimate. The video is about the poison and the fuel that personal trauma is in art. How our experience forces us to create and how sometimes it is only inhibition and violence.”
“Killer” is the latest single from FKA twigs, following the release of her mixtape Caprisongs in January. She debuted the song during a performance for NPR’s “Tiny Desk (Home) Concert.” FKA twigs has lately released a handful of music videos for tracks from Caprisongs, including “Papi Bones,” “Honda,” and “Oh My Love.”
