The post Grimes Drops Hints About New Music, But Insists It’s Not Her Priority appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>Grimes has been teasing all sorts of different projects on social media recently, but music doesn’t seem to be her main focus. This prompted one fan to write, “pls remember that u are also a singer,” and she was quick to reply.
“I was never a singer. I was just good enough at engineering to make it sound like I was. The ideas always came first, and Grimes has always been most loved when I focused on innovating. Lots of new music to come, but y’all can find singers anywhere,” Grimes wrote on Twitter.
Grimes also said that her new music “is just so next level” and added she’ll start dropping new songs as soon as she’s done recording them because it’s been too long and she doesn’t want her fans to wait for a full album.
Grimes’ latest studio album Miss Anthropocene came out in 2020, and it produced singles “Violence”, “So Heavy I Fell Through the Earth”, “My Name Is Dark”, “4ÆM”, and “Delete Forever”. She’s been actively working on new music in the wake of its release and collaborated with many other artists, including Ashnikko, Bella Poarch, and Caroline Polachek.

]]>Shakira owes her success to her co-headlining spot at this year’s Super Bowl LIV halftime show. Around 103 million people tuned in to watch her perform alongside Jennifer Lopez, and the show led to many epic moments and viral memes that had people searching her name.
August Alsina, Adele, Doja Cat, and Grimes also made it to the top five, partly due to their music, and partly due to the personal drama going on in their life.
When it comes to the most-searched lyrics of the year, the smash hit “WAP” unsurprisingly topped the list. It was followed by Roddy Ricch’s “The Box” and Eminem’s “Godzilla”, featuring Juice Wrld.
Hip-hop songs were obviously leading the way, but we noticed another major trend. Several TikTok hits also made it to the top 10, including Jasmine Collins’ “This is for Rachel”, Conan Gray’s “Heather”, and Arizona Zervas’ “Roxanne”.

]]>“I feel like, for the first time, I’m really seeing myself as a singer, which is something I’ve never really done before,” Grimes told Zane Lowe on Apple’s Beats 1. “And it actually feels really good to just sing.”
The 31-year-old Canadian started out as a DIY musician who produced her own songs, so it’s no wonder that she graduated to producing her own albums. But it seems that in the four years since her previous album, Art Angels, she has grown to accept herself as more than just a producer.
“Because I’ve always just been so pushing that [singing] part of myself away because I’ve been like, ‘I’m a producer first,’” she explained. “I think as a female, it’s important to foreground the producer stuff. But I feel like I’ve just done that. And also, besides, i_o produced the rest of this album so it’s like…I feel like I’ve just earned my 10 minutes to just sit around and sing.”
Not much is known about the upcoming album, but in a now-deleted Instagram post the producer/singer described it as “about the anthropomorphic Goddess of climate change: A psychedelic, space-dwelling demon/ beauty-Queen who relishes the end of the world.”

]]>She claims that the reason for doing so is because Claire, her birth name, has been “plaguing her”.
Following her decision to go public with her relationship with Elong Musk, c has been the subject of a lot of public attention and not all of it has been positive.
“You just have to totally untether your personality from your public persona,” c told Cultured magazine. “I’m like, I don’t want to use that name anymore. I don’t want to use that face anymore. Because it now stands for something that I don’t agree with.”
She also added: “The one thing I’ll say is just don’t believe everything you read. Just because people wrote about it does not mean it’s f****ing true.”
Grimes’ next album, Miss_Anthropocene will be released later this year.

]]>The post Grimes Shares Details on Her Upcoming Concept Album appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>Grimes announced the amazing news in a lengthy Instagram post, and explained its title is a play on words misanthrope and Anthropocene. The project will center around climate change, and the Canadian singer is hoping she’ll be able to make this issue more approachable.
“It’s a concept album about the anthropomorphic Goddess of climate Change: A psychedelic, space-dwelling demon/ beauty-Queen who relishes the end of the world. She’s composed of Ivory and Oil,” she explained.
She also added that each of the songs on Miss Anthropocene will represent a different embodiment of human extinction as depicted through a Pop star Demonology.
Grimes described genre of her upcoming album as “ethereal nu metal”, but said she’ll probably drop a couple of more synth-based tracks in the meantime for fans who are missing her original sound.

]]>The post Grimes Debuts “We Appreciate Power,” New Collab Single Featuring HANA appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>This new song was accompanied by a lyrics music video, directed by Grimes and her brother Mac Boucher. You can check it out below.
According to the press release, “We Appreciate Power” is inspired by North Korean band Moranbong, and “written from the perspective of a Pro-A.I. Girl Group Propaganda machine who use song, dance, sex, and fashion to spread goodwill towards Artificial Intelligence (it’s coming whether you want it or not). “
The song is believed to be a glimpse into Grimes’ upcoming fifth studio album, which was announced in February 2018. Back then, the 30-year-old musician said that she wasn’t to release the record until the end of the year. Although there was not much information about it since then, Grimes did share a working tracklist for the album in May.
Grimes’ last studio release was Art Angels from 2015. The release received critical acclaim and ended up being her most successful work to date. The album managed to peak at No.36 on US Billboard 200 while reaching No.16 on the Canadian Albums chart.
