feature: fka twigs launched her series of three ‘congregata’ ny shows last night

Last night FKA twigs took over Brooklyn for the first of her three-date stint at the Brooklyn Hangar (part of this year’s Red Bull Music Academy Festival). The British singer-songwriter/dancer was given full creative freedom to artistically direct the Red Bull show, titled ‘Congregata’, and presented fans with a Cirque de Soleil-esque extravaganza; with movement playing as equal a role to her experimental sound. She also shared a new untitled song. Check it out below, plus some images and footage from the show.
