China Network Entertainment On September 5, the United States "People" magazine september 4 news, following the breakup with Kristen Stewart, "Twilight Man" Robert Pattinson seems to usher in a new spring, there is another beauty in life.

According to people familiar with the matter, Pattinson is in contact with British singer FKA Twigs.

Pattinson's friend said: "He was simply fascinated by her. ”

The public may not know much about this female singer who is full of unique artistic atmosphere, but her debut album "LP1" has been highly praised by the music industry. Now, let's take a look at five interesting facts about the 26-year-old singer.

1. Her original name was Tahliah Barnett

The reason she calls herself twigs is that her bone joints often crackle when they move, and twigs mean "twigs" in its original sense, in which she mocks her body as overwhelmed as a slender branch. But there are other parts of her twigs in front of the FKA, because there is a popular group in the United States called "The Twigs", so to distinguish herself from others, she added FKA, which is the initial letter of Formerly Known As, which became FKA Twigs (formerly known as twigs). "Only if the members of the popular group told me I didn't have to change my name would I be able to use the name twigs with peace of mind," she said, referring to the origin of the name. I can also call myself FKA tree trunks, or FKA baby branches. ”

2. As a mixed-race child, she has half Jamaican and half Spanish

At the elementary level, she was the only mixed-race girl in the school. "People would always say something hard to hear, but I couldn't stop it, it was hard to survive." But she was never depressed by her looks. "About half of my life, I've been staring at me with malice or sarcasm, maybe they think I'm funny or ugly. And the other half of the time, there will be people staring at me because they think I am charming. Everything is balanced. ”

3. She has been able to sing and dance since she was a child

Born in Tewkesbury, a small town in the west of England, she told reporters: "I was interested in singing and dancing since I was a child because there were no other options in the place where I was born. I remember there was a youth club with a less noticeable studio where some people would sing rap songs and I would hum along. FKA Twigs' mother, a salsa dancer, moved to London when she was 17 years old, and FKA Twigs dropped out of school after weeks of studying at a dance school in London to develop her singing career.

4. In many MVs, her dancing style often appears

Her dancing figure has appeared in pop music videos by pop artists such as Kylie Minogue, Taio Cruz and Ed Sheeran, but the most amazing scene is her recording of the MV for singer Jessie J's "Do It Like A Dude", which has received more than 80 million views on YouTube.

5. Like Pattinson, don't expect her to confide in the relationship quickly

Although her new album exposes many of her beliefs (from gender and politics to sex), she is reluctant to let her private life become the focus of attention. "My idea is simple," FKA Twigs said in an interview with Billboard last month, "what matters is what you do, not you as a person." Looking back at her past love experiences, she once said in an interview with The Guardian last month: "I have had two or three serious relationships... But I haven't finally settled down, I haven't found a very suitable partner, I haven't had a 'feeling like this', I'm still learning. (Compiler: Mou Yan)
