FKA Twigs 為新曲猛練鋼管　MV公開美哭樂迷　

身兼創作歌手/製作人/舞者的 FKA Twigs ，在經歷對抗子宮肌瘤的難關後，於前日公開睽違四年的新單曲<Cellophane>MV，美得令不少樂迷感動落淚。

他在IG上表示，早在他一年前寫好這首的同時，腦海中即浮現視覺上想傳達的東西。為了這支MV，他特地花了六個月的時間練習綱管，「我這一生走來總是盡可能以自己的方式不斷練習、想盡辦法做到最好，不過這次沒辦法照著之前的方式來做。我必須打破所有至今為止所仰賴的方式、更深入地重新構築，然後重新開始。」他在推特上面說道。

throughout my life I’ve practiced my way to being the best I could be, it didn’t work this time. I had to tear down every process I'd ever relied on. go deeper. rebuild. start again.

FKA Twigs 本名為Tahliah Barnett，原本是一名舞者，曾經參與Kylie Minogue、Ed Sheeran、Jessie J……等眾多知名藝人的MV演出。會以「 FKA Twigs 」之名活動，正是因為當他跳舞時，骨頭常會發出咯咯聲，如同樹枝一般。

2012年他推出首張專輯《EP1》，實驗性的節拍配上甜美空靈的聲線吸引The XX所屬廠牌Young Turks的延攬，進而發行《EP2》，獲選為英國BBC Sound of 2014。2014年，他正式發行出道專輯《LP1》，榮獲英國的水晶音樂獎，並被提名全英音樂獎。

<Cellophane> MV請到與Björk多次合作的視覺藝術家 Andrew Thomas Huang 擔任導演，是至今為止最貼近其真實內心的作品。FKA Twigs 2018年5月曾在IG透露2017年12月接受了子宮肌瘤手術，當時發現到的腫瘤總共有六個，大小相當於兩顆蘋果、三顆奇異果和幾顆草莓，重量跟懷孕六個月差不多，每天都得承受煎熬。手術前他感到非常害怕，儘管收到了周遭親朋好友眾多的關愛，但他仍感到十分孤獨，身為女性的自信也被擊破。不過，在與友人Kelly一起練習跳舞時，讓他再度感受到強力的自我。

dear friends, I am a very private person as u all know and I have gone back and forth in my mind whether to share that this year I have been recovering from laparoscopic surgery to remove 6 fibroid tumours from my uterus. the tumours were pretty huge, the size of 2 cooking apples 🍎 🍎, 3 kiwis 🥝 🥝 🥝 and a couple of 🍓🍓. a fruit bowl of pain everyday. the nurse said that the weight and size was like being 6 months pregnant. I tried to be brave but it was excruciating at times and to be honest I started to doubt if my body would ever feel the same again. I had surgery in December and I was so scared, despite lots of love from friends and family I felt really alone and my confidence as a woman was knocked. but… today whilst dancing with Kelly at the choreography house I felt like my strong self again for the first time in a while and it was magical. thank you precious body for healing, thank you for reminding me to be kind to myself, you are a wonderful thing, now go create and be other once again <3 I know that a lot of women suffer from fibroid tumours and I just wanted to say after my experience that you are amazing warriors and that you are not alone. you can get through this. and with this I let go of the pain… love always twigs 🌱
