Has she peaked, already?! Everything about that video/song is regressive.

is this the track she pitched to Rihanna?
― Merdeyeux, Thursday, 28 August 2014 17:01 (ten years ago) link
Kind of a weird thing to say about an artist already 3 albums into their game?
I guess it makes more sense as "Grimes writing a pop song to pitch to an established pop artist" but it just makes me miss her wilder, more bricolage approach to music.

i was in the crowd for her set at pfork and this was probably the song that got the biggest audience reaction fwiw

I could totally see that, and that kinda proves my point about her peaking.

feel like she made the "Genesis" video and thought, "I really need to write a song to match this video aesthetic" and so she did it. Good for her.
― Insane Prince of False Binaries (Gukbe), Thursday, 28 August 2014 17:42 (ten years ago) link
is it just my playback experience or is she out of sync with the lyrics the entire time?
― Captain Maximus, Thursday, 28 August 2014 18:49 (ten years ago) link
it's OK I guess... but very far from her best work. and I don't really hear the input from Blood Diamonds. disappointing.

scrapped album after reaction to "Go" - starting over

― Insane Prince of False Binaries (Gukbe), Friday, 12 September 2014 17:11 (ten years ago) link
Hmmmmm. The video she did for Go was pretty embarrassing. Go as a song was not up to her usual standards, production wise. She's messing up having such a big gap between albums and touring so much.
― Raccoon Tanuki, Friday, 12 September 2014 17:23 (ten years ago) link
she scraps an album's worth of stuff every couple of months more or less and the NYT article the quote comes from doesn't even mention anything about scrapping material after or because of the reaction to "go"

makes the PF news thing pretty funny. "one of our writers did a big feature elsewhere, so we're going to point you toward it while also decontextualizing and sensationalizing its narrative."
― some dude, Friday, 12 September 2014 19:00 (ten years ago) link
I wasn't a fan of "Go" on any level, but it seems a bit... unseemly to be all "the fans aren't onboard with where I was going, so fuck that."
― RAP GAME SHANI DAVIS (Raymond Cummings), Friday, 12 September 2014 19:34 (ten years ago) link
well, it seems like she didn't say anything like that and that's just the narrative other people are constructing
― some dude, Friday, 12 September 2014 19:38 (ten years ago) link
yeah it seems like she is just trying to figure out what she wants to do & is staying p chill in the meantime

nah, clearly no one's forgetting about her, better to take the time to make a great record. unless she's overthinking everything and ends up making a terrible record because of it, of course.
― festival culture (Jordan), Friday, 12 September 2014 19:52 (ten years ago) link
I hope it doesn't turn into another nmh/mbv situation. I do think Visions was that good; it seems like it would be very hard to follow up

"nah, clearly no one's forgetting about her, better to take the time to make a great record. unless she's overthinking everything and ends up making a terrible record because of it, of course."
When you look at her career though before and up to visions, and I was a fan back then, her output was frequent, 4 releases in 2 years. It suited her development and kind of highly momentary transient style. Visions and the lack of anything after it has shocked her a bit into anxiety that wasn't there before. I think she's absolutely a person who requires total personal freedom and it's clear thats been affected by the success. She's obviously a confident person but highly sensitive. She's in a bit of a block right now and then Go came out and it was just absolutely not the record anyone really wanted to hear (though the vocals were brilliant) after such a void. But it would've worked fine in the middle of other stuff or if people hadn't been so starved.
― Raccoon Tanuki, Friday, 12 September 2014 20:19 (ten years ago) link
jordan is right. visions has set her up for big things and if she puts out a great record it could really catapult her. if it's wack her buzz will die down a bit (like on some current day MIA shit where she's fallen off the mainstream radar but can still be an indie superstar). it doesn't matter if that record came out last year or comes out next year tho.
