AWARDS
FKA Twigs has been announced as the winner of this year’s Godlike Genius prize at the NME Awards. “What an absolute honour to have won the NME Godlike Genius Award”, she says. “To see my name amongst the iconic likes of The Clash, The Cure and Blondie is unreal! I am so proud to be the first black female artist to have been honoured, still baby faced, and inspired as hell. Here’s to the next decade of making art and music. Thank you to the heavens and back to everyone who has helped me make my dreams come true”.
