Prince was not in attendance for British dance-pop contortionist FKA Twigs' Twin Cities debut Friday night at the Fine Line, and why would he be? She's coming to his place instead on Saturday.

The Paisley Park and 3rdEyeGirl social media channels announced mid-day Friday she would perform at his Chanhassen compound the night after her sold-out Twin Cities debut (doors at 9:30 p.m., $35 cover, click here for more info). You know, Princey, the Fine Line folks probably would've put you on the guest list for their show. Fans certainly are happy he's having her and everyone else over, though, since Friday's concert sold out well in advance, and a good chunk of the mostly under-30 crowd appeared enamored enough with her to want to trek out to Paisley.

She certainly is alluring, and not just in the way new boyfriend Robert Pattinson no doubt appreciates. Born Tahliah Barnett – she got the "Twigs" nickname as a kid because of her lanky body -- the 24-year-old Gloucestershire native performed for an hour Friday and never really stood still physically or musically. Her body twisted and turned as frequently and snakishly as her music did.

A trained ballerina who got her pop music start in videos for Jessie J and Kylie Minogue, she danced throughout her set even though her songs often weren't overtly danceable. The beats were often slow and hypnotic -- like a Sade record played by minimalist electro-rockers the XX -- and would suddenly fade out or get manipulated into a warped, wavering sound, as did her whispery siren vocals. Her three band members spent much of the show tinkering on electronic drum pads, though two of them also alternated between bass and guitar.

After her album's ethereal opening track "Preface" -- with the haunting refrain "I hate myself" – Barnett and the show itself seemed to lingered hesitantly through the off-kilter, click-clacky "Lights On" and earlier track "Ache." Things finally turned more electric and animated with her breakout track "Water Me," in which she slowly kicked into her bendy, ballet-meets-fly-girl dance moves while singing in a hushed tone, "He won't make love to me."

The tempos and the mood of the music picked up from there with the more melodic gem "Pendulum" and ultra-throbby crowd favorite "Video Girl," in which her bandmates all worked their electronic beat machines like mad scientists. Even at its peak, the concert's energy level never really got above a lucid, dreamy state -- which worked fine in a small club with moody lighting but could make her less-than-optimal for festivals.

Wearing a black cut-out bodysuit adorned with gold studs, Barnett kept up a mysterious, mystical façade for most of the show but did stop to thank the crowd twice, saying, "I've never been here before. It's wonderful to get to go somewhere new and have so many of you show up." Fans down front reached out to touch her winding hands, but the only time Barnett reached back was to turn off the cell phone of a young woman standing at the front of the stage texting – which she did so coolly, casually mid-song without stopping the performance. Looks like she and Prince will probably have a lot in common.
