I am so proud to be the first Black female artist to have been honoured, still baby-faced, and inspired as hell.
Here’s to the next decade of making art and music.”“Thank you to the heavens and back to everyone who has helped me make my dreams come true.”As FKA twigs, singer/songwriter/producer/dancer/filmmaker Tahliah Barnett has proved to be a true Godlike Genius. Beginning with her early EPs and Mercury Prize-nominated debut full-length ‘LP1’, the multi-hyphenate has continued to push boundaries over the years.
She followed 2019’s deeply candid second album ‘MAGDALENE’ with the comparatively bright and star-studded ‘Caprisongs’ – for which she has also been nominated for Best Mixtape.Twigs last appeared at the NME Awards in 2020, where she won Best British Solo Act as well as delivering a stunning performance of ‘Cellophane’.
