FKA twigs has truly outdone herself with ‘Caprisongs‘. The eclectic mixtape sees her branching out into new territory, featuring a fusion of Afrobeats, choral compositions, and bursts of rap. The project is a joyous and addictive experience, with the UK singer-songwriter describing it as “A journey back to myself through my amazing collaborators and friends.”
Undoubtedly a standout moment is “Pamplemousse,” a short and electric number about fun memories shared with friends. The music video, directed by Aidan Zamiri and Yuma Burgess, offers a vibrant visual representation of the song. With a series of images and digital renderings of FKA twigs flashing in front of an ever-shifting backdrop, the stop-motion direction is a feast for the eyes.
Since the release of ‘Caprisongs‘, has been busy directing and starring in short films. She has also been cast in the forthcoming reboot of The Crow, which I’m personally looking forward to. Despite facing some well-publicized personal difficulties, she continues to demonstrate her resilience and artistry. Caprisongs is an exuberant celebration of life and a reminder to find joy wherever we can.
We’ve been on the trail of FKA Twigs since 2014’s ‘LP1‘ and the “Pamplemousse” video and the mixtape as a whole is further proof that few artists are as versatile and creative as her
