>Still, Boucher’s not entirely prepared to abandon the glamour of big budget videos just yet; she has also just finished collaborating with Janelle Monáe on her video for “Venus Fly,” their shared track on Art Angels, which will serve as the 11th and final video off the album.
>As she closes the door on this album, Boucher has a calmer project in mind for the next: “I’m really vibing on making something really slow and gorgeous that just breathes, and has room to breathe. I feel like my work has always been fast paced, kinetic, and almost just manic and I feel like for me the hardest thing I can do is make something that’s slow and heavy. I’m so ADD in my work; I really want to push myself into something that would be slower and more reflective.”
Artists/other creative types YOUNGER than Grimes who have mentioned her: >Lorde >Brandon Wardell >Brie Larson >MO >Nicole Dollanganger >Amandla Stenberg >Fran Lobo >Kaytranada >Miss Geo >Kenya Kinski-Jones >Anna Wise >Halsey

Random clothes and places in every music video. Are you guys aware of that? Or you just ignoring the fact?

voignamirians - after the infamous feline Voignamir (a one-time pet of Grimes.) It's an English transliteration for the Russian title of Dostoyevsky's War and Peace - aka Grimes' LEAST favorite Russian novel.
Christian Bailey
War and Peace is by Tolstoy.

No.
>I think all of academia is deeply competitive, and one of the main reasons I dropped out of school and didn’t pursue research is because I was like, 'Fuck this competitive, back-stabby, judgy culture.’ It’s almost as bad as music fandom. I can’t remember things, like individual things that happened in a book I read a couple years ago. I don’t catch every metaphor. I hated War and Peace. I just didn’t enjoy it. And I always get shit for it! grimes-claireboucher.tumblr.com/post/140857883740/grimes-the-happy-reader-winter-2015
Clearly she had a love/hate relationship with her cat - which is why his name is the PERFECT nickname for members of her fanbase since fanbases are both a blessing and a curse.
Cameron Williams
I see. Thanks.
Xavier Allen
Grimes contributed with sound packs for this new sound making device: youtube.com/watch?v=YchxSmRmi4I She's mentioned in the video. It looks cool IMO.
Adam Moore
I met Grimes a few years ago after a show. She hugged me and was just generally adorable and super sweet to everyone.
Gabriel Garcia
nice clickbait
Jason Collins
tell me more.
so close.
Caleb Campbell

and yet they manage to have a cohesive and appealing aesthetic.
absolutely incredible work by Mac and the girls, as usual. Grimes and Mac make such a good filmography team.

she's not even in the video your movie sucks
Nolan Morgan
great now she's a sell out, willing to shill anything for a paycheck, whether it's a movie, video games or a shitty gimmicky toy for 13 year olds who are too retarded to learn how to use a DAW.
Angel Thompson
shes not a sellout
Luke Turner
someone pointed out that it's Grims in exotic locations and it was actually a good point, they're beautiful. unironically my favorite vids.
the editing is underrated, too. you get a feel of what it's trying to be which is more interesting
Brandon Jenkins
she wasn't... right up until this summer.
fuck the hipsters who called her a sellout for her last album, this is what selling out really is. god fucking dammit grimes, i hope the paychecks were worth your artistic integrity.
Henry Moore
suck a pen15, faggot
Jackson Russell
yeah she is
Ryder Allen
go away from my lovely grimes thread, delusional pieces of shit
Gabriel Rogers
so right
Logan Gray
What paychecks? Fuck off,
Adam Morgan
I regret asking this.
I'm just going to refer to you as Little Grimesters.
Jaxson Jones
you're delusional. I've been here, being a cheerleader for grimes for the past 3 years. this shit is just leaving a sour taste in my mouth.
You're an idiot if you don't think she's not getting payed for her endorsement as well as creating a "sound pack" for this thing.
You're beyond retarded if you think she didn't get payed for Medieval Warfare and her NBA2k17 crap.
David Garcia
i'm ok with this
Jaxson Ramirez
I am not using it ironically, though.
Jeremiah Lee
Grimes is 100% a sellout to the general public - ie. you and me. Which is fine because that is how all authentic professional musicians operate.
Brandon Perry
>being mad cuz people are getting paid for their job >implying you are not beyond retarded idiot
Jaxson Rivera
What is a "sellout"?
Nicholas Young
>implying it's her job to shill for toys it makes her especially look bad because she's only made a single album where she actually knew what the fuck she was even doing. it definitely reminds one that she's not classically trained.
Xavier White
Is this the biggest sellout in the history of Sup Forums?
Kevin Johnson
every dubs this thread gets protect grimes from a potential ricardo trips kills animejames quads kills all ricardos
Jordan Martinez
It's not a sellout, dumbass
Lincoln Baker
shilling for crap that you otherwise would have no involvement in if it weren't for the paycheck.
it's certainly the most surprising, but considering her track record through the latter half of this year I'm not sure why.
Nathaniel Campbell

William Stewart
>genuinely loving pop music >making music she always wanted to make >didn't make the music you wanted to hear >sellout gtfo delusional hater.
Julian Ward
is grimes doomed to die soon?
Justin Gonzalez
They invited her to do that and she just thought "why not?". She is experimental, she wants to take part in a lot of things. There is litterally nothing wrong with it. She is living her life, cuz she has a life. Unlike you.
Jeremiah Moore
....user thats the exact kind of mentality i called out. i specifically said that she's not a sellout because of those reasons, because those are stupid reasons and hipsters are retarded for even thinking that.
i'm saying she's a sellout because she's on a shilling streak recently and a decent chunk of the stuff is nothing she has a vested interest in.
no, it's more like "We'll give you $10k if you make a soundpack and tweet about our toy" and she said "sure, beats having to do another show" >nothing wrong with it the fact that a musician who was known for her incompetence is advertising for an instrument who's major selling point is "you don't even have to have any talent with playing instruments" makes it look extremely fucking bad.
Nathan Carter
Do you work for money? Stop pretending that Grimes should work for free, you goddamn hipster. She needs to put food on the table, just like you. While you're pirating her music, she's working hard trying to make some money while she doing the music she likes.
>being a cheerleader for grimes for the past 3 years Do you want a medal for that? Stop supporting her, stop posting about her, she doesn't need you. The song California is about people like you: >The things they see in me, I cannot see myself >When you get bored of me, I'll be back on the shelf >And when the ocean rises up above the ground >Maybe I'll drown in... >California >You only like me when you think I'm looking sad >California >I didn't think you'd end up treating me so bad
Elijah Cruz
Surrendering creative control of one's artistic output to a third party in exchange for massive sums of cash. Something that Grimes definitively has NOT yet done.
Jace Powell
>musician who was known for her incompetence That's past. She is established producer now.
Mason Gonzalez
as if she isn't getting payed hella stacks for playing all those festivals.
>The song California is about people like you the song california is about retarded indie critics who complained about her changing her sound. all of whom are retarded.
I'm criticizing her for taking money to do shit that she has no real interest with. Shit like that nba soundtrack and now this stupid crap. it's one thing for stuff like POP and Medieval Warfare, because that's actually shit she has a vested interest in.
I know this, but it certainly won't help get rid of that image any faster.
Owen Williams
>she's on a shilling streak recently Working for money is shilling streak? What are you, a priviledged hipster that never worked for money? You idiot, it's called doing a job. Most known artists don't do just albums and tours, they also have music in ads, appear in ads, etc.
I'm glad she broke your idealized image about her as a pure angel unaffected by the needs of a real human. Tbch you're worse than a hater, you're a fake fan. At least a hater is honest about his intentions.
>the fact that a musician who was known for her incompetence is advertising for an instrument who's major selling point is "you don't even have to have any talent with playing instruments" makes it look extremely fucking bad. Incompetence, while she's making some of the best music of the decade? WTF you're even talking about? Do you imply she doesn't know how to operate her gear? Jfc, so much cringe.
Nathan Price
exploiting a fanbase who have supported and elevated an artist's status, it's about moral values and doesn't really involve the artistry
Luis Rivera
>Most known artists don't do just albums and tours, they also have music in ads, appear in ads, etc. having your music appear in an ad isn't selling out. advertising something that has nothing to do with you or your ethos is selling out.
>I'm glad she broke your idealized image about her as a pure angel unaffected by the needs of a real human I never had this perception in the first place. I just expected her to maintain her artistic integrity because she's asserted that it's very important to her.
>Do you imply she doesn't know how to operate her gear? She used to do so clumsily and undeliberately. She's very competent now, but from her inception through the end of the initial visions tour cycle she definitely was a complete novice who in her own words "Faked her way through everything".
