The ever-changing, ever-evolving phenomenon known as FKA Twigs has released a video to accompany her short bop titled “Honda”. The song features the Coventry Drill champion Pa Salieu and appears on her Caprisongs mixtape, which arrived in January 2022 via Young. The video follows Twigs balance precariously atop a car careering through the British thoroughfares, with bags of attitude to boot.
The director Aiden Zamiri reunited with FKA Twigs once again for the shoot, having worked on her previous works such as “Papi Bones” ft Shygirl, “Meta Angel”, “Oh My Love” and “Jealousy” ft Rema.
In discussion with Rolling Stone, Twigs detailed her dedication to the craft of performance for her video work, saying; “Yolo, like with me it’s just anything to get the shot. Working with Aiden Zamiri has been incredible, he’s a genius. ‘Honda’ for me is like a perfect definition of a caprivid because it’s super short and cheeky and it leaves you wanting more.”
She went on to say; “For me, making these shorts or caprivids is like a hole punch of your favorite scenes from a music video, nothing more nothing less. It’s like sorbet, you know like when you just keep on wanting more and more, I love the fact that people are like upset with how short they are because that’s the whole point.”.

Recently, Twigs was dubbed a “Godlike Genius” at the Bandlab NME Awards 2022 which was held at Brixton Academy. In a statement made via Twitter, Twigs shared her joy for receiving the coveted prize, stating; “To see my name amongst the iconic likes of The Clash, The Cure and Blondie is unreal! I am so proud to be the first Black female artist to have been honoured, still baby-faced, and inspired as hell. Here’s to the next decade of making art and music. Thank you to the heavens and back to everyone who has helped me make my dreams come true”
