Who: FKA Twigs in the Gobi Tent
In 3 or Fewer Words: Riveting to watch.
Memorable Because: There were those who were hoping to catch a glimpse of Robert Pattinson and there were those were only there for his fiancée, Tahliah Barnett, aka FKA Twigs. The experimental R&B singer didn’t disappoint fans visually. Coming out in a white gown that glittered with gold embellishments, FKA Twigs slinked onto stage. Her belly-dancing moves were hypnotic, although the set did not sonically match up. Her high falsettos were nearly inaudible, making it hard to decipher any song she was singing. It was as if we were all watching a silent movie. Perhaps it was on the sound guy or perhaps FKA Twigs’ live vocals get lost in her music’s dark beats. Either way, the lack of synchronicity made for a rather lackluster performance.
What I’d Tell My Friend Who Was At Jack White: I heard it was loud. I’m jealous.
