British R&B singer FKA twigs has shared the music video for her song "Pendulum," which you can check out below. Directed by the singer herself, the bizarre video shows twigs tangled up in what looks like her own hair and later dancing on top of a giant puddle of water with her own face in it. It os the sort of thing Björk would have done back in the 1990s, which is a compliment. You can check out FKA twigs's music video for "Pendulum" right here, via MTV: -

8 Albums With Misleading Titles
Though an album title shouldn't tell you explicitly what kind of music you're in for (where's the fun in that?), a title does have a subtle influence over how we hear an album, or how we expect it to fit into the artist's career arc.

Watch 11-Year Old Bjork Narrate Christmas Nativity Scene On Icelandic TV [WATCH]
It is the most wonderful time of the year and that means obviously means nativity scenes. Ok not always obvious, but when a clip of an 11-year old Björk narrating a nativity scene on Icelandic TV surfaces, it becomes something you pay attention to.
