FKA twigs recently released a captivating video for her song Childlike Things, featuring Kevin Smith, Jake Shane, and North West.
In this short film written by Jeremy O. Harris, twigs dances energetically while a skeptical music executive, played by Smith in a baseball cap, suggests she needs to collaborate with rappers and increase the tempo to make it onto popular playlists. Twigs responds confidently: “My fans think I’m a deity,” explaining why adding rappers isn’t her style. North West joins in with her verse and eventually wins over the executive.
People often wonder how creative artists like twigs balance commercial success with their artistic vision.
FKA twigs will soon be touring across North America; although it’s happening later than planned, fans are eagerly waiting.
