FKA twigs Covers Sam Smith & It’s Super Sexy

Sam Smith’s “Stay With Me” is infectious. All summer, it's captured the lovelorn hearts of many a woman and won the singer fans like Katy Perry. But, what if soulful sentimentalism isn’t your style? Don't worry, because FKA twigs has cast a gloomy electronic pallor over the hit love song.
The fellow English singer-songwriter covered “Stay With Me” on Radio BBC 1’s Live Lounge this week. While both singers are clearly inspired by R&B of yore, FKA twigs brings her trademark sound, filling out her pleas for love with echoing synths and a sparse snare drum.
FKA twigs has been drumming up underground love all summer. Her album, LP1, has been a favorite of critics since its release last month. But, her take on this pop favorite proves the girl and her sleek vocals could worm their way into the mainstream ear. Listen for yourself below.
