This year's YouTube Music Awards are shaping up to be a filmic tribute to some of the more niche corners of queer culture. In her self-directed music video for her song “Glass & Patron,” FKA Twigs gives birth to an old school vogue battle that takes place deep within the woods. For the ceremony part of its digitally streamed awards show this year YouTube made the decision to bring the focus back to the music itself, debuting over a dozen new videos from FKA Twigs, Charli XCX, and gay R&B newcomer Shamir.
Following up his infectious bubblegum disco single “On The Regular,” the video for Shamir's “Call It Off” is a muppet-themed send up of the quintessential bad breakup.
Check out the videos for FKA Twigs's “Glass & Patron* and Shamir's “Call It Off” AFTER THE JUMP…
