FKA twigs Covers Sam Smith's

Today, FKA twigs stopped by the BBC Radio 1 “Live Lounge”. In addition to performing her LP1 highlight “Two Weeks”, she covered Sam Smith‘s hit “Stay With Me”. Listen here; she’s interviewed at the 1:11:45 mark, does “Two Weeks” at 1:40:00, and covers Smith at 1:48:50. Update: Video of both songs can now be watched below.

In an interview with Alice Levine, she discussed her decision to cover the song:

“I’m covering Sam Smith’s ‘Stay With Me’. … There was one line which basically alludes to saying, ‘I’m not in love with you and maybe this isn’t a serious thing, but it’s perfect for right now and it’s what I need emotionally right now,’ and maybe that’s just something that I have related to.”
