FKA twigs was seen dancing down the street while listening to music as she promoted her new album in New York City on Thursday.
The English singer, 37, showed off her best moves as she was being filmed in Hudson Square ahead of the release of Eusexua Afterglow, her fourth studio album.
The dancer and producer – whose real name is Tahliah Debrett Barnett – showed off her endless legs in tiny studded leather hotpants and tights, adding a leather jacket.
She added Balenciaga platform knee heel boots and a black Heliot Emil bag to her edgy ensemble, sporting headphones while getting loosened up to the tunes.Â
Her latest album was released on 14 November through Young and Atlantic Records, and has been preceded by two main singles titled Cheap Hotel and Predictable Girl.
Earlier this year, The Crow actress came raised eyebrows as the singer appeared on the Met Gala 2025 red carpet after having cancelled a recent string of US tour dates due to ‘ongoing visa issues.’

It seemed as though her attendance caused a stir on social media from perplexed fans who believed that she was still facing visa problems – despite her explaining this had been resolved eventually.
It comes after she had been forced to axe several of her US and Latin America dates at the end of March, including Coachella.
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, many voiced their confusion, with one asking: ‘But wait I thought her visa wasn’t valid?’
‘Oh suddenly her visa works…’ another penned.
A third added: ‘So, she got her visa for the met gala but not Coachella… okay girl.’
A fourth continued: ‘So she had visa issues for performing in Latam and the US but not for attending the Met Gala. I see how it is.’
‘So what happened to those visa complications…’ wrote another.
‘The fact she came for this instead of prioritizing performing at Coachella is so funny,’ said a sixth.

The artist, however, recently explained that the ‘ongoing visa issues’ had been down to her production team not filing the correct paperwork in time
She later explained that the ‘ongoing visa issues’ had been down to her production team not filing the correct paperwork in time for her US shows – hence her appearance at the Met Gala.
In a video posted online, she explained: ‘Hi everyone, I wanted to come on here to talk to you and address some things that have been happening behind the scenes in my world.
‘Behind the scenes practically with production and the more practical side of putting this tour together so today I was informed that production did not fill out the correct paperwork in a timely manner to have our visas to come for the USA to perform.
‘I don’t take this lightly, I am completely devastated to be honest with you, I am heartbroken.’
She added: ‘So with that being said, I will be rescheduling these shows and information will be coming on that very shortly.Â
‘IÂ can’t wait to bring Eusexua to you, it’s truly been one of the greatest achievements of my life.’
The music star was due to perform in Chicago, Illinois on March 26 and in Toronto, Canada on March 30 which would have been followed by two shows in New York on April 3 and 4.
She had previously confirmed the axed tour dates in a statement posted to Instagram.
At the time, she wrote in a statement: ‘It pains me to say this because I am so excited to bring you a creation that I have poured my soul into and I believe is amongst my strongest work and I know this news impacts so many of you that have already made plans and spent money in order to see these shows.’
Days before the Met Gala, Twigs it up the stage on May 1 at the star-studded grand opening of GITANO NYC, which marked her first US appearance since her canceled dates.
She wowed the crowd — which included Chloë Sevigny, Luann de Lesseps, and Adam Lambert — with her signature sultry vocals and magnetic stage presence.
