FKA twigs knows how to take a song, flip it and make it as eery as possible. The British singer and songwriter did just that when she took a stab at fellow Brit Sam Smith's "Stay With Me." She performed the unique cover in the Live Lounge for Fearne Cotton on BBC Radio 1 as part of Even More Music Month. FKA twigs takes Smith's gospel-infused track and turns it into a haunting rendition that's sure to keep your eyes stuck on the blue-hued screen. Backed by a live band, FKA twigs reimagines the track with a heavy base and a trip-hop element. Paired with breathy vocals and her unique energy, you will either love or hate it depending on your taste.
If you're an FKA twigs fan, you're used to her creative freedom and distinct brand of weird. If you're new to her, it's definitely worth keeping an open mind as you take in her chilly rendition. Don't listen too hard because this haunting track may just put you in a trance. Watch FKA twigs do her thing and let us know if you'll run for the hills or let this version stay with you.
