FKA Twigs has premiered the video for her song "Glass & Patron" as part of the YouTube Music Awards. The clip, directed by Twigs herself, shows the Mercury Prize-nominated singer giving birth -- alone in an unmarked white van in the middle of the woods -- to a bunch of multicolored scarves that turn into dancers. The dancers then engage in "the most epic vogue battle of all time," according to a press statement (via Rolling Stone).
The 27-year-old also announced that she will follow-up last year's critically acclaimed breakout album, LP1, with a new EP later this year. "Glass & Patron" will be the effort's first single. It was previously featured in Twigs' Google Glass advertisement as was co-written and co-produced by Boots.
Ahead of the new EP, Twigs will head out on a spring and summer jaunt with a handful of gigs, including stops at Coachella and the Red Bull Music Academy Festival, where she'll stage the U.S. debut of her Congregata performance. She described the show as a theatrical "coming together" and choreographed performance that visualizes "the story of my life while making this album."
Beyond work on her own album, A$AP Rocky recently revealed that Twigs will make a guest appearance on his upcoming as-yet-untitled follow-up to Long.Live.A$AP, along with Lykke Li, Juicy J, and Clams Casino.
