FKA Twigs sets pulses racing as she strips down to her underwear in raunchy Drums Of Death music video
FKA Twigs set pulses racing when she stripped down to her underwear on Thursday in a raunchy video clip for her new single Drums Of Death.
The 36-year-old singer, whose real name is Tahliah Debrett Barnett, showed off her incredible figure in a sheer lace cami top and matching underwear.
She left little to the imagination in the fast-paced video, which saw the singer and a team of dancers set out in an office setting, fully dressed in matching blue suits.
During the unique routine, they performed a synchronized dance in their seats, before the video glitched and suddenly all were wearing nothing but their underwear.
Even though her suit was gone, FKA kept her pointy black heels on for the rest of the video.
The racy scenes put her on very leggy display, showing off her toned pins as she pranced around the rooms.

FKA also underwent a hairstyle change midway through the video, trading her short locks for a partially shaved head, before adding a nose ring to her look.
In October, the star sent temperatures soaring as she posed for a vintage Calvin Klein underwear campaign.
She put on a raunchy display as she posed nude with nothing but a denim shirt covering her modesty.
FKA showed off her enviable curves and looked nothing short of sensational as she gave the camera a sultry look.
In other stunning photos, she cut a casual figure as she wore a pair of ’90s-inspired jeans and a black bralette with a scoop neckline.
During the photoshoot, the star also modeled a white denim shirt and a black textured bralette.
To complete her look, FKA applied an impeccable makeup palette and further accessorized with a cluster of small hoop earrings.
It comes after an advert for the campaign, which featured FKA partially nude, was pulled by the watchdog earlier this year following a complaint from the singer herself.
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) had banned a poster showing the side of her buttocks and part of her breast, ruling that it depicted her as a ‘stereotypical sexual object’.

However, the watchdog made the rare decision to reverse the ruling after the star took to Instagram to issue a challenge.
The singer complained that the original verdict was evidence of “double standards” in the advertising industry.
For example, similar advertising for the fashion brand’s ‘Calvins or Nothing’ campaign, featuring The Bear actor Jeremy Allen White in nothing but underwear, has passed without censure or complaint.
FKA twigs defended her image, saying, “I don’t see the ‘stereotypical sexual object’ they’ve labeled me.”
“I see a beautiful, strong woman of color whose incredible body has overcome more pain than you can imagine.”
She added: ‘In light of reviewing other campaigns, both past and current, of this nature, I cannot help but feel that there is a double standard here.’
The singer added that she was “proud of her physicality” and cited role models like Josephine Baker, Eartha Kitt and Grace Jones who had broken barriers.
Her stand received support from other women in the entertainment industry, including I May Destroy You writer and actor Michaela Coel.

The ASA’s ruling council subsequently revoked the ruling, stating that the image reflected an outdated sexual stereotype.
In a ruling published earlier this year, they stated: “We have reviewed and amended a decision that we made in a formal ruling.”
“In our previous ruling, we found that because the ad used nudity and focused on her physical features rather than the clothing she was wearing, FKA Twigs was presented as a stereotypical sexual object.”
‘After careful consideration, our Council, the independent panel that decides whether UK adverts break the rules, is of the opinion that the image was not sexually explicit, that the ad presented FKA twigs as confident and in control and that she was therefore not objectified. .’
Despite the decision, the ASA council said it still considers the ad to be overtly sexual and therefore not suitable for public billboards where children could see it.
The ASA added: ‘The decision to review our original ruling was made in the context of the significant strength of public feeling, including the views of FKA Twigs, in response to our findings, but was prompted by our concern that our rationale for banning the ad was substantially flawed.”
