I always felt like Tahliah’s a very grown-up name to have. It’s a pretty name when you’re young, and then I think when I became a young lady, it felt kind of like a lot to grow into for some reason.

When I first released music, and no one knew what I looked like, I would read comments like: ‘I’ve never heard anything like this before; it’s not in a genre.’ And then my picture came out six months later: now she’s an R&B singer. FKA twigs Read Quote
