FKA Twigs pole dances into fantasy in the immersive clip for new single "Cellophane"

“When I wrote “Cellophane” over a year ago a visual narrative came to me immediately,” she says in a statement. “I knew I had to learn how to pole-dance to bring it to life, and so that’s what I did.”

Yes. She did. Twigs, a longtime dancer, flexes some artful physicality in Andrew Thomas Huang’s sumptuous clip, which begins with the pole but transforms into a billowing, creature-filled journey into golden skies and red depths. Like the video, the song is all about texture, with round, rippling beats underscoring sharp, shadowy loops and Twigs’ crystalline vocals.
