FKA Twigs brings to life Shelly, a mysterious and compelling character whose entanglement in a perilous situation forces her to make a life-altering decision. Reflecting on her connection to the role, the singer shares, “I wanted to play Shelly because she felt like a magnified version of myself. Obviously, we’re not the same, but it felt like Shelly was one side of me that could be ‘blown up’ into the entire character.”
Elaborating further on this, she states, “There’s something really light and child-like about Shelly, even though she’s been enveloped in darkness. I feel that in myself, as well. I liked that Eric and Shelly have such a deep love and connection that feels different from those we’ve seen before. They have their own vibe.”
The Crow delves deep into the raw and complex emotions that define the human experience. Eric and Shelly’s captivating love story reveals the duality of love’s power—to heal and to destroy.
