The answer, we now know, is a psychedelic new ad for [Apple’s HomePod](http://time.com/5187811/homepod-apple-review/), which stars the charismatic Twigs as a corporate drone finding escape in some Siri-suggested music once she makes it back home. While, yes, this is an ad for the splashy new HomePod — “Hey Siri, play me something I’d like,” she asks as soon as she gets in the door of her apartment, sounding fragile — it’s also a four-minute music video that shows off her distinctive dance style to “Til It’s Over,” a new song from the Grammy-nominated rapper Anderson .Paak. By the end, of course, she’s found some relief and joy in her own company. HomePod: apparently it makes us feel less alone. (And it’s [not a bad DJ](http://time.com/5187811/homepod-apple-review/), either.) The multi-talented FKA Twigs first released a [well-reviewed album](http://time.com/3118648/fka-twigs-review/) in 2014, followed with a few projects through 2016, but has been fairly absent from the music and video scene over the last few years. So fans are thrilled to see her making a splash in this new piece. > [](https://twitter.com/lostwig/status/970882410953949184) > [](https://twitter.com/sbruan/status/971080602186260481) > [](https://twitter.com/DetroitCSC/status/971079648737153024) > [](https://twitter.com/TheNamesHods/status/971079632731758592) > [](https://twitter.com/EmpressOf/status/971073769040093184) > [](https://twitter.com/dylanminnette/status/970903727518486528) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5187947/fka-twigs-homepod/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5187947/fka-twigs-homepod/"},"headline":"FKA Twigs Dances Her Way Through a Psychedelic Apple HomePod Ad","datePublished":"2018-03-06T18:21:39.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:51:11.002Z","description":"FKA Twigs stars in the new ad for HomePod, directed by Spike Jonze and set to music from Anderson .Paak.","url":"https://time.com/5187947/fka-twigs-homepod/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Music","Technology","Business"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5187947/fka-twigs-homepod/","name":"FKA Twigs Dances Her Way Through a Psychedelic Apple HomePod Ad"}}]}] ```
