Did she leak this herself? Pretty hard to imagine this would just happen to leak on its own so early before the release date. Also, considering her comments about wanting music to be out, makes me feel like she put this out there herself.
It's really solid! I still prefer the all-out pop direction of Art Angels but I think this record has a bunch of the best songs she has written. I love about half the album and I've only heard it once. I also think "Art Mix" vs "Algorithm Mix" is the funniest way someone has differentiated album versions from radio/playlist edits.
Grimes trying to describe what the above video is about on insta: it’s confusing ! We’re trying out new things but sort of a dj night, music video premiere, art installation and in the future I’m hoping to also have like fashion and more gallery stuff in the art rave
It is taking a lot of resistance to not listen to the leak. Is their any Nu Metal-ish stuff like WAP on there at all? 'cause it sounds like there's not. I'm hype for it either way, I'm really diggin So Heavy...
Nothing like that, with the closest thing being 4AM. The majority of this is pretty Visions-y in the sense that it's pretty druggy/spacey/soupy/trancey/ambient-ish. Definitely is different from Visions, but the same vibes in my opinion. Not much on here comes anywhere close to the direction of Art Angels. Enjoyed the album overall on first listen, more than I expected actually, but I think I like the vibes and the feeling of the album more than the actual songs at this point
I guess no one has mentioned it because you've all heard the leak, but My Name is Dark is up on Spotify now. I love love love love it. My fave of the singles so far for sure.
Just listened to So Heavy, is the rest of her new album similar sounding to this track? I like it a lot.
