Grimes reveals that Player of Games is her least favorite song she has put out

Suprise, suprise, but we all kind of knew that. It's about Elon Musk, and she's getting clowned for it to this day, despite the song being pretty good from a listening standpoint and at the time it was meaningful to her.

Personally, I was shocked as it's one of the defining songs of Book 1, it introduces the Book 1 lore and of course it has one of her best music videos.

When did Grimes writing shift?

I think the thing that makes today’s Grimes songs feel so different from the past is that she writes very on the nose now.

If you look back at her early discography, her writing was opaque and cryptic and strange. Oblivion was about being assaulted, but the lyrics don’t give it away easily. She wrote an entire album about Dune that is…not exactly transparently about Dune (aside from the titles) upon listening.

It seems like possibly around MA is when she started writing from a worldview or theme moreso than whatever instinct was driving her earlier work, and when she got into book 1 is when I think her writing became very themed and on the nose. And to be clear, nothing is necessarily wrong with writing music on the nose, I personally do it….but I think maybe that’s the biggest reason grimes feels so different now, rather than having dated he that shall not be named.

Thoughts?

ACCELERANDO MV makes me so emotional.

I have been waiting (like many fans) for new grimes music, when I heard accelerando for the first time, I wasn’t sure of it.

But when I saw her vision with the music video…I was shook.

The end part where things speed up and go through different phases, I just start crying. Im so happy for her bringing this new music out and creating things.

Michael Whelan nod in Accelerando MV

It makes sense that Grimes would be a fan of Michael Whelan's work.

When I first discovered him, I was amazed at how his art looks almost exactly like the places I visit in my dreams.

Anybody else dreamed they were somewhere like this piece (CHASM) before?

Grimes acknowledges fans have “no reason to believe” her, but teases….something?

I’ve been listening to this masterpiece again lately.

Really think Art Angels is up there with Kendrick’s To Pimp a Butterfly as far as best albums of the 2010s. It is in my top 10 albums of all time. Butterfly, Flesh without Blood, World Princess Pt. II, and Kill v. Maim are definitely my favorites off of it.
