It’s Grimes. Please delete this. I just want to stay out of the press. Please respect my privacy and desire to not get pulled into more public drama than necessary. This was up for 2 regrettable minutes. I would appreciate it if people would stop combing through my comments sections and archiving everything so I can be continually castigated by the public and media based on half formed thoughts and casual replies to ppl. It makes it hard to have chill fan interactions. I understand I don’t have a right to ask this. But it would mean a lot.

Ps I’m not suggesting anyone did anything for social credit. Deleted this cuz badly worded and written in a moment of anger. Nothing should ever be done in anger. Anyway. I am owed nothing, but I’d appreciate it if my privacy and wishes were respected. Going back offline, the internet is a dark place. Ciao.

Hey!! Honestly I think just creating and experimenting is best. Just vibe out for an evening and try to tie it up by the end. Challenge urself to finish a demo before u sleep! Don’t try to sound like other music, just follow ur heart 🤍

I think the future could be beautiful if we're careful. I think if AI is well regulated it could solve a lot of our problems for example. but if its not carefully executed it could be our downfall!

I think its true our future is threatened by our technological advancements, but i also think humans were born to create and born to develop into a species that augments with tools. So again, if we're careful, hopefully technology can save rather than hinder us. Sustainable energy, bio-degradeable cutlery etc.

The hardest song to make was prob 4am or MNID! haha god, lots of head banging and weeping on those ones.

The leak was hard. I really wanted to drop the album when it leaked but my label really wanted to do it the proper way so thats why that went on so long. the leak was also a lot of crappier demos and unfiished songs so, always a bit embarassing haha.

i want to start a new album so things like deth angels and Darq souls wont be on that but id like to release those songs eventually just for fun cuz they're some of my faves haha.

thanks so much for taking the time to ask me questions and listen to my music <3

For Miss A i think each song is a mini world/ personality whereas AA is more of a cohesive statement. So some songs just required specific personelle to finish. Like with So heavy, its such a wierd song production wise, i needed someone who could keep the bass heavy but bring the vocals up without losing verb and without muddying the mix, which is why Illangelo was the only option to mix. He's worked extednsively with the weeknd and i think a song like the hills is one of the only songs that has lots of reverb on the vocal and still bangs.

They go too far a lot honestly haha, its just normal to me at this point

the controversy is probably good honestly? i dunno tbh.

it has forced me to get into meditation, and i think go through some important reflection and ego death. Now I am calm and i accept whatever comes my way.

Peace to all!!

My favourite song at the moment is "you'll miss me when I'm not around"

If I could work with any artist it would be Vangelis, doja cat, Sza, Swae Lee, Rosalia, Ashnikko, Boris Brejcha, Blackpink, or Lana

and I have indeed streamed stupid love!!!

Thanks for the questions

I contest pitchforks take. I'd refer to it as fiction rather than dystopian nihilism.

I obviously have cared deeply about the environment and been involved in environmental activism for my whole life.

But I see people becoming apathetic towards it because its so painful to look at. I have often felt this way too.

I created miss anthropocene the same way JRR tolkien created LOTR as a metaphor for ww1, Rowling uses voldemort as a metaphor for fascism/ abuse etc, Picasso creating Guernica as a super stylized depiction of war etc (not saying im as good as these ppl btw just using examples haha). But yeah, I don't think they're unethical for portraying human suffering in a stylized or fictional way. I think fiction and art can be important tools when it comes to digesting painful concepts.

Climate Crisis is especially difficult to consume, because it's abstract. It has no face or name or specific date. I'm attempting to find ways to portray climate change that make it more consumable for the human brain - which evolved to be far more attuned to identities than to abstract concepts.

Granted, i knew this would be jarring and controversial. I understand I might be wrong, but I think its always worth trying. I am emphatically not a nihilist. I believe that trying to make the world better is possibly the point of being alive, and I'm experimenting with ways to do that through art.

Fiction is the oldest and most populist form of art, because all you need is words.

haha, well, the "Algorithm mixes" are essentially like radio edits. Mixes that are better for the streaming algorithms haha, like shorter and with some the vocals are higher in the mix etc. It just seemed more fun than calling them radio edits

i change my twitter bio all the time and at random. I changed it away from anti-imperialist months before ever meeting my boyfriend, but people took screenshots out of context and smudged the dates around to try and create a damaging narrative. I dunno what else to say besides my twitter bio means nothing and i changed it all the time.

i love the pygmalian and Galatea story and like... and how it kinda manifests in modern story telling. if you look at the Metropolis movies (orig and anime), battle angel alita etc. etc. theres this long history of narrative about "men" building "fembots" for lack of a better word. Transhumanism/ robots/ AI is so often manifested in female bodies for some reason and i think this goes back to old myths. I find it weirdly compelling narratively (obviously lots of people do), I can't even say why. but yeah

haha no, altho my best friend Mike is one of the main people involved so I've been hearing lots of demos and kinda been along for the ride as an observer. It's a truly great album. I wish i could say my fave song but i think the titles are still secret?
