Every major female artpop/rock singer/songwriter released at least one highly adventurous/experimental record. Joni Mitchell did it with Hejira, Kate Bush did it with The Dreaming, PJ Harvey did it with Rid of Me, Tori Amos did it with Boys for Pele and Bjork did it with Medulla.
When will Grimes release hers I wonder? Is she capable of it? Is she brave enough or has she sold out?

Who's the guy in your pic, op?
Joshua Brooks
I wish she accepted my friend request
Isaac Richardson
These albums are all very experimental and out-there as far as popular music is concerned. Sure it's not japanese harsh noise though
Ryan Sanders
Is that a pic of you? Very loud face
Daniel Powell
>female >her >she
Hudson Barnes
All of the artists you named have more experimental albums than the ones you listed
Colton Bennett
Shut up you stupid contrarian, your shitty opinion is worthless as these albums are all considered the most experimental in each of the mentioned artists' careers by the vast majority of critics and people
Lucas Butler
I'll give you Medulla
>Rid of Me >More experimental than Uh Huh Her
>The Dreaming >Experimental at all
>Tori Amos >"highly" experimental at all

Adrian Butler
November 6
Wyatt Sanders
thanks grimes. big fan :)
Jayden Anderson
That's the digital release of Art Angels retard. You didn't get it at all.
Lucas Rogers
Calm down, Grimey. Don't be mean to your fans. :(
Jeremiah Hall
Name one Bjork album more experimental than Medulla in her solo career.
Jayden Perez
>When will Grimes release hers I wonder? She already did with Halfaxa. Honestly, is there any other album like it? Bonus: she's preparing yet another masterpiece. >it's annoying i know haha, but my albums take a long time to create because i don't buy songs/ hire producers/ writers or engineers. the majority of artists do, so they are able to release music faster. unfortunately it takes me longer because if there's a style i need to learn i just have to figure it out by trial and error, or if im stuck on a lyric or beat sometimes i have to start again. i think it leads to more original product though, and hopefully the fans are happier in the long run. that said, i am making a lot of music right now, but i also want to have more of a sonic theme to this album so i'm using less of the stuff i'm recording. in any case, ill try to be as swift as possible!" >I kno i've been quiet lately - in the studio every day trying to legit make something you've never heard before. unexplored sonic landscapes. i need another month or 2 of pure unadulterated creativity at which point i will begin finishing tracks. won't let u down >i wanna be quick tho! my goal this time is to avoid over editing and let everything be strange and free haha dunno if that makes sense.... but also i appreciate these words just in case i end up taking another year. not planning on t tho >its cool to have a preference!!! i mean now that time is passing i see why people r so attached to the earlier works. they sound like nothing else, and i'm realizing that my true goal is to make something that sounds like nothing else. i needed to make art angels to prove my skills but now i want to integrate the skills w the creative approach i took on earlier alvums. sorry if i was defensive of AA when it first came out there was just sooooo much pressure coming from label fans everybody and i was too tired to properly internalize it all. appreciate ur consistent fandom over the years xxxx

He has no style He has no grace This artist has a funny face

Grimes: >releases Art Angels to pacify the haters >Art Angels is Easily the greatest pop album of the year, perhaps the decade Grimes-haters: >ignore the album completely >misogynistically attack her for her looks, keep claiming "Oblivion" is her only song
glad she decided to shed the public pressure and go back to her adventurous/experimental roots for the next album. I honestly can't wait
Cooper Martin
>When will Grimes release hers I wonder?
she already helped me to release copious amounts of semen so I don't feel like there is need of any rush.
Cameron Hall
>Grimes-haters: >ignore the album completely >misogynistically attack her for her looks, keep claiming "Oblivion" is her only song These haters are absolutely pathetic. They accuse her of being a sellout for making a poppier album when it's their fault for not being able to enjoy pop music. The worst part is that they mostly attack her for her looks like a bunch of cowards.
Matthew Foster
what acute little boy
Aiden Gomez
No one cares about your look, user.
Isaac Garcia
Claire would also probably attack you for your looks, ugly yoruban

she looks like an angel and makes heavenly music
Mason Bailey

Julian White
she's not going to because she's a delusional, stupid, unoriginal fucking weeaboo who takes way too much credit for the garbage she makes. have you guys even heard her trying to perform live? it's fucking awful. don't ever compare grimes to björk again
Charles Wood
I'm not yourban, you pathetic jerk.
Gabriel Diaz
You're stupid for hating her so much. >have you guys even heard her trying to perform live? Yes. She's really great: dailymotion.com/video/x4k3593 Her vocals aren't perfect but that's part of her charm. Not even your precious Bjork sings perfectly. She almost murdered Hyperballad this year: youtube.com/watch?v=Sap6VVrb1Q8 She can't hit the high notes anymore. Live performances are for the moment. The recorded versions of their songs are the ones that really matter.
Jayden Parker
5th Wave is far more experimental than anything on The Dreaming.
Aaron Butler
when björk's vocals are off she does it with style. she does it artistically, because she's an artist and she creates beauty. grimes just sounds like a fucking joke, how the fuck are you gonna compare a modern day weeaboo to björk. at least björk is original and doesn't coin her own genre as "post-internet" or say that "lady gaga did it first" or that justin bieber is a good musician. you grimes fans sound so god damn stupid i just feel sorry for you
Wyatt Foster
Those hands are huge wtf
Daniel Ramirez
>when björk's vocals are off she does it with style. she does it artistically, because she's an artist and she creates beauty. LOL. So, when Bjork fails she does it artistically, when Grimes fails, she's a fucking joke? Double standard much, Bjork fanboy? >she creates beauty And Grimes doesn't? Her music is more beautiful than the overrated Bjork's music. >at least björk is original Grimes is even more original than Bjork. There is literally no other artist like her. >i just feel sorry for you Stop lying. You feel only contempt.
Alexander Williams
>how the fuck are you gonna compare a modern day weeaboo to björk Most great artists are not appreciated during their prime. Happened to Bjork too; you were too young to remember that she was seen as a novelty by many people. Her cartoonish videos (I Miss You, Army of Me, It's Oh So Quiet, Human Behaviour, Violently Happy, Venus As a Boy) didn't help too much. Only starting with Homogenic she was taken more seriously.
Brody Parker
Imo probably the one she's working on right now based on what she's said about it (see ) The compositional stylings of her early records + the production quality of her recently ones sounds like an artistic win-win to me. Although imo it's gonna be very interesting to see what the wider reception of it will be. Art Angels was her proper debut to the average pop music fan. What's the overall reaction gonna be if she releases an experimental masterpiece that's inaccessible to the mainstream crowd as it's follow-up? I could totally see a scenario where /mu's current pro/anti pop contingents completely switch sides on loving/hating Grimes as well. Could be VERY interesting...
Colton Torres
She sung Hyperballad fine in Japan when I saw her last month, she sounded great in general and she can hit the high notes when she wants to, in Bachelorette and Unravel she went really high, and she did that high pitched scream which she hardly does anymore.
Saw her live last year and when she did Anchor Song she hit the high notes again, and since it was just an orchestral show, she did a lot of vocal improv, again going really high. She's just careful because she's damaged her voice from at least twice now. That's why she had to cancel the Vulnicura dates.
I'm not even a Grimes hater btw, that live version of ave maria sold me on her voice.
Andrew Roberts
>LOL. So, when Bjork fails she does it artistically, when Grimes fails, she's a fucking joke? Double standard much, Bjork fanboy? yes, she's a joke because she literally just can't sing. she has no redeeming qualities. it's painfully obvious she just tries to sound like an anime girl when she makes that voice >And Grimes doesn't? Her music is more beautiful than the overrated Bjork's music. no, grimes has not ever created anything as genuine and directly taken out of her spirit unlike björk ((ART ANGELS COUGH COUGH)) >Grimes is even more original than Bjork. There is literally no other artist like her. in this interview grimes literally says "i guess lady gaga did it first" i'm gonna puke youtube.com/watch?v=P-PHIpYm8k0 >Stop lying. You feel only contempt. says the fag who only likes certain musicians for their attractive appearances

Christian Kelly
>she's damaged her voice from at least twice now. How and when?
Jaxon Evans
by the way, just to get my point accross, i don't believe you need to have clean vocals to be a good vocalist. most of the bands i listen to don't. but they know how to pull that off as a style, grimes doesn't. she reminds me of 14 year olds who think they're "the next generation's [name]"
Hunter Walker
biophilia
Jace Jackson
Fair enough. Her haters don't understand one thing: Grimes dances A LOT on stage and also manipulates her devices. She can't sing perfectly doing all that extra work. She sings better when she's standing still. Her shows are a compromise between choreography, playing instruments and singing.
Luis Rivera
She's that damn good
Colton Williams

Friendly reminder to not listen to this autist who cares more about meta ramblings/shitposting/drama/waifufagging than actual music discussion. Friendly reminder to contribute to constructive music discussion.
Asher Stewart
it's not about being able to sing perfectly. vocals shouldn't be "perfect" if you want to make art. she just doesn't have the feel, i had hopes for her a few years ago but then i watched interviews and live performances of hers and she's so fucking immature and stupid i just felt repulsed. look at björk's face, and the way she talks in her interview and compare it to the dull confused teenager look that grimes has. you're all biased because grimes is "cute"
Logan Reyes
>implying this is cute
Eli Davis
>implying it's not
Andrew Davis
see Seriously - take a chill pill. No one here is even hating on your precious Björk.
Alexander Jones
i love this image
Michael Miller
desu i think grimes is sort of cute looking sometimes, but she still looks like a confused teenager. björk looks like a living piece of art.
Blake Powell
i don't care if someone here doesn't like her. the issue is comparing grimes to her.
Jack Taylor

I've seen Grimes live - recently. She's great. Stop acting like a petty 14-year-old ITT. You're not doing yourself any favors by it.
Connor Wilson

She cute even on her less flattering pics. Funny how you chose to ignore her countless great pics.

>it's not about being able to sing perfectly. vocals shouldn't be "perfect" if you want to make art. she just doesn't have the feel Are you serious? Watch this one till the end (do it!): youtube.com/watch?v=YSWwVYuqsVM Bjork could never match that intensity and passion.
Leo Jones
>Grimes >female im dead lmao xD
Charles Bennett
That's all you have to say?
Jace Morgan
Presumeably from just singing too much, first time in 1995, she couldn't speak it was that bad.
Then on the Volta tour, her voice was actually damanged on the Volta Live DVD but you can't tell, she sounds amazing.
Then in the Biophilia era she had a polyp on her vocal chords so she had to have surgery, but it all went okay and she didn't lose any range, she actually gained some low notes.
Her surgeon told her any time you feel scrappy to just stop, that's what happened with the Vulnicura dates. She said she's done with big tours and probably going to do one off shows like she's been doing the last year, and just focus on recording music, which is good news for me and her voice.
Don't be silly. Bjork used to be even goofier than Grimes. Why do all Bjork fanboys pretend that Bjork was always a serious artist?
Adrian James
i could look at it for hours. it's got a so-close-yet-so-far quality to it, if you could just change one feature it would be tolerable. if you could just nudge those eyes closer together or slide the eyebrows further apart, or maybe just do away with that horrendous nose entirely and replace it with the nose of a different goblin. fascinating
Xavier Diaz
>björk looks like a living piece of art. Grimes too. When she wants that.
Asher Carter
nope. try again
Jonathan Bailey
>the issue is comparing grimes to her. Do you belive that Bjork is untouchable? Anyone could be compared to anyone else.
Thomas Lewis
What else do you want?
Nolan Howard
And I can disagree with those comparisons.
Nolan Peterson
Stay dead. And wrong.
Hunter Lee
grimes is trash bjork is better by far
Bentley Gonzalez
I want to be loved
Brandon Roberts
Interesting coming from someone who gets extremely triggered every time Grimey is compared to someone. Double standards at their finest.
Austin James
what is this a fucking rave?
Bentley Martin
even mainstream pop artists like ke$ha and lady gaga usually have good music taste
Liam Wilson
No one cares about your sick obsessive collection of her photos, yorubafag
Jason Sanchez
Is this one good enough to your highly pretentious taste?
Juan Nguyen
dumb grimesnigger
Mason Martin
Grimes has to have the worst fucking taste in existence.
Alexander Miller
I don't get triggered. It's just a game to me. I simply enjoy talking about her.
Grayson Lewis
That's my gimmick, user!
David Jackson
Of course you can. Why not? If you like songs like Army of Me with big ass beats, that live version should be enjoyable.
Grayson Hill
no. not in this way. björk doesn't need to doll herself up to try to look like a WoW character to look like a living piece of art. she just always does, because she's one of the most genuine and honest musicians you're gonna find. she's opened her heart to the public, you're really just gonna look dumb comparing her to grimes who makes it so obvious she's just a weeaboo who likes rave parties and EDM
Dylan Fisher
People don't get aggressive when they "enjoy" doing something.
