FKA twigs has today premiered a brand new song and video. ‘Glass & Patron’ was written and produced by FKA twigs and Boots and features a new video that was directed and choreographed by her as part of the 2015 YouTube Music Awards. ‘Glass & Patron’ is the first piece of music to be revealed from a brand new FKA twigs EP that will be released later in the year, and will be FKA twigs’ first new release since her acclaimed debut album LP1 in 2014 on the Young Turks label.
The YouTube Music Awards are a celebration of the platform as a place where new artists start their careers and connect with new fans. FKA twigs was one of ten artists selected by YouTube and Vice as an artist who has done exactly that, and together with YouTube and Vice, she has created this ‘Glass & Patron’ video: https://youtu.be/cNbFc-fa-ww
