Now's the time to fall in love with FKA Twigs. The experimental British singer delighted critics and fans with her first full album, "LP1," but during a visit to BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge, she played a cover of Sam Smith's "Stay With Me" that won't leave you anytime soon. Breathy and slow, her version is electro and devastating ... in a really good way.

In an interview with BBC's Alice Levine, FKA Twigs explained why she chose Smith's hit: "There was one line which basically alludes to saying, 'I'm not in love with you and maybe this isn't a serious thing, but it's perfect for right now and it's what I need emotionally right now,' and maybe that's just something that I have related to."
