“highly experimental”?

Grimes’ song Devon from Halfaxa is about Majical Cloudz’ singer-songwriter.

What sarahispi said. Visions is incredible and Art Angels is eye-poppingly ace. My record of 2015.

Saw her at Latitude with my two little daughters (who love Art Angels HARD) and it was such a wonderful show.

Genesis is EPIC. And I find the video utterly mesmerising.

Just stuck ‘Visions’ on. Have only listened to the main singles before and never really got it to the rest of the album, but it seems the time is right, I’ve got a taste of the grower in it.

Agreed. New album is wack. SInce visions she has been far too concerned with being a socialite and being in fashion mags, perfume ads etc. I saw her on the visions tour and it was amazing. Felt like she was going places. I was excited when I heard the raw version of realiti on YouTube. Then the polished version appeared on the album. Sandwiched between the kpop trash…

That’s right. Grimes just has a talent at making memorable melodies. Madonna would sell her mansion to have a song as good as Artangels, merely an album track on Art Angels:

The question is: do you like pop music? If you don’t, I don’t see how you could enjoy listening to Art Angels. And for your information, Grimes always loved pop music. She’s a big Mariah Carey, Lana Del Rey and Beyonce fan. The time was right to finally make a pop album, but one that defies any expectations. There’s no album like Art Angels (if you know a similar album, mention it). She would be less respected now if she did Visions 2 instead.

you’re making assumptions about what is and isn’t pop music

Grimes’ earlier records were very poppy/melodic

Didn’t like Art Angels at all

CTRL+F “Is Ace the new Deep-Blue?”

Nothing?!

Anyway, I tried to listen to her album a few years back when a mate was going on about her. Couldn’t stand it.

Replacing that version of Realiti reduced the number of great songs on her albums to 1.

Never heard of him or her.

Ryat, who?
