FKA Twigs Teaming Up with The Weeknd to Release Meditative Single “Tears in the Club”

FKA Twigs is shedding tears this week…

The 33-year-old part-Spanish English singer-songwriter, record producer, dancer and actress is joining voices with The Weeknd to release their meditative collaboration “Tears in the Club.”

FKA TwigsThe song, due out at 7:00 p.m. ET on Thursday, is the follow-up to FKA Twigs’ November team-up with Central Cee, “Measure of a Man.”

“are u ready for capri sun takeover?? us capri babies be so cute and prolific but don’t cross us cause we never ever forget,” Twigs tweeted this week.

The tease was accompanied by a seven-second animation of the singer’s face as a digital mask, which splits into a dozen pieces as it reveals the title of the song written in watery letters inside her skull.

FKA Twigs also posted a brief snippet of the sensual ballad featuring video of her lounging on a couch with two other women as a bit of the chorus played in the background: “Tears in the club/ ‘Cause your love has got me f—ed up/ Tears in the club.”

The Weeknd has been working on his follow-up to the smash After Hours album — which featured the No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 single of all time, “Blinding Lights,” along with working on the upcoming HBO series The Idol, in which he will star and co-write the tale of a female pop singer who sparks a romance with an enigmatic L.A. club owner who doubles as the leader of a secret cult.
