It has been a tough year for Canadian singer Grimes, who has been involved in a whole lot of drama concerning dating Elon Musk which has somewhat overshadowed her music and art. Grimes has been somewhat absent musically this year, but it could be done to her fan base being a tough crowd to please. She has battled with the need to release music for a more mainstream crowd and creating her own dark, surreal bedroom sounds. Grimes built hype by posting teasers on her Instagram and keeping everybody on their toes until the release date in February 2020.
It has been five years since Grimes last album ‘Art Angels’ which she is not so fond of any more, which is surprising to fans who are still are. They believe then that her next piece of work is going to be out of this world. The new album contains many synth swirls, trip-hop elements, and 90’s pop mixed with modern-day chart music. The lyrics and themes speak of self-awareness and understanding the way things are.
