U.K. electro phenom FKA twigs broke out in 2014 with her excellent full-length, LP1, and since then the dynamic performer has played major festivals all over the world, toured extensively and began her movement-based show, Congregata (which she brought to New York earlier this summer).

Now, she’s released the first new track since LP1 via Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 radio show on Apple Music.

Called “Figure 8,” the track premiered Monday as the newest “World Record.” She told Lowe she finished the song—which you’ll find familiar if you’ve been to a twigs concert since March when she first debuted the tune—and the EP that’ll house it at the end of last year. Which means, yes, this is just the beginning of Twigs’ new music.

“ ‘Figure 8’ represents eternity,” she told the host of the track’s inspiration before detailing that she wrote it when she was “feeling quite sad and a bit lost” after LP1 dropped and the madness of touring and fame began.

That is correct, they neglected it, as did I.

LOVE the vogueing in this video! She's obviously a Madonna fan!

FKA Twigs has suprised fans with the arrival of a fresh new EP, M3LL155X, along with an extended 16-min music vid. Check it!

Glad to hear about this, I'd kinda given up trying to keep up with the glut of new releases this year and had buried myself in P-Funk and old dub and reggae for the past week or two so this is a cool little suprise from a modern artist that I appreciate. Does anyone know if this available lossless anywhere? The official site links to iTunes.

Boy is my timing off today... You beat me to it. I really like the first song and video. Very creepy. And the seg into the sex toy vid. Bjork influence Maybe?

The cover art is so freaky and terrifying-- but in a good way!
