A witch, you say?
I'm not sure I believe that. I listen to Grimes's music continuously all day every day and I feel perfectly fine.

>>69140581
False. Just the usual break between albums. Grimes already planned her next move:
>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.”

Grimesfan here. Hedra seems to go nowhere. It's not bad, but it's my least favorite of her. She's incredibly consistent.

>>69140887
No, I am too far gone, I must consume her, we will become one average person.

>>69140585
This. She doesn't really acknowledge these 2 early albums in the same way Kraftwerk did with their first 3. Probably because she can hear the mistakes from her new perspective as singer/songwriter/producer.

Maybe that was a false alarm. She always says some ridiculous things from time to time. Let's wait and see. I think she's aware about "striking the iron while it's hot" and not letting too much time passing between the successful AA and her next album.

you understand that most of kanye fans are underages and can't vote? Same apply to grimes and others pop starlets who campaigned hard for Hilary and failed hard.

>>69143901
Read his analysis.

Kanye, if he focuses his talents purely on becoming a politician, could become president due to his sheer language and emotional appeal acumen. It'd require a strict shift in a lot of Kanye's current behavior, but if he does, I think he could pull it off and attract real grown, working adults who have previously hated him. Not just his fans.

I agree with the analysis that if he cared enough about it, he could achieve it.

>>69143943
Also, just to be clear, I'm not even much of a fan of Kanye's music and I think his views are pretty stupid.

I think so, yes. Beyonce and Taylor mostly have their songs and work composed by others. Kanye is much more of a dick but more intelligent and self-motivated than them. And he's a better speaker.

He would win not because of his music or fanbase, though that would be the initial catapult (like Trump's businesses were for Trump).

>>69144009
Read the article. There's basically no chance he'd win in 2020.

>Success…success…success…marry a publicity magnet…big ego…publicity stunts and loud mouth attract attention…a genius-level linguistic skill disguised in simple language of the people…and starting young for the presidency.

>Will Kanye win the presidency in 2020? >Doubtful, but he will get more famous.

>Will Kanye win the presidency in 2024? >Doubtful, but he will get more famous.

>Will Kanye win the presidency in 2028? >Doubtful, but he will get more famous.

>How about 2032?

Dumb, uninformed, tumblrina views on most things. She seems nice and all but not someone I'd want to try to have a serious or in-depth conversation with. Note I say this even as a Trump hater who (reluctantly) voted for Hillary, so I'm not like that politically distant from her or anything.

I admire her music on its own merits, not her personality or looks.

>She didn’t start making music until halfway through college, when she was in her early twenties (she is now 28). When asked
how she had the confidence to just start, or whether being a woman made that harder, she just says: ‘To be honest, it just never struck me as something girls couldn’t do. Even shooting. In Montreal, that’s what you do. I mean one time I shot an animal. It was my living nightmare, never again. But my grandpa was like – “Yeah, Claire’s the best shot”.

Fair enough, but her personality or looks are an important part of her charm. If they don't affect your perception of her music I guess it's OK.

>>69144176
I severely doubt that.

She might write most of the LYRICS to her songs. That's very different from composing the melodies or writing the chord progressions or picking the instrument arrangement or deciding what effects to add or actually producing or writing the song itself in any way.

Pop lyric writing isn't that hard. I could probably train half of /mu/ to write Swift-quality lyrics in a few days.

And even then, I'd bet she gets a ton of help with most of the lyrics she's written since she went mainstream.

Her only true talent is as a performer. Other than that, she's a puppet.

>>69144289
Also, she uses autotune even in live performances, so the performer bit is maybe questionable too.

I want to introduce Grimes' music to my new bf and hopefully have him like it.

He's mostly into country, and alternative music.

What song should I show him?

>>69139818
James will believe that claire giving birth to a chocolate baby is a monogamous miracle.

>>69140503
her beats are oodles better than her voice/lyrics and she is probably great at reverse cowgirl (bonus points for how elbow spastic she goes when she dances)

>>69147627
>He's mostly into country

First of all:

>having a bf that like country music

Kys. Second, the obvious answer is California since is Grimes's most country song.

>and alternative music.

This is a really big label. Specify what kind of alternative music or list some artists.

Yeah, and I bet many dickheads reported these threads even if they already have the keyword "grimes", so they could be filtered. To all these shitty people: die soon!

>>69152196
True. Nobody said that she's doing it well just because she did it herself. But the quality of her work is reflected by the feedback from people. Her music is her product and the customers (fans, critics, some other artists, casual listeners) are happy. If you didn't get the memo, music taste is subjective.

>Boucher’s public persona is definitely striking, but one-on-one, the perception completely dissolves. Here I was expecting someone brimming with whimsy, but instead she was a 24-year-old girl; rather down to earth and just coming to terms with the concept of fame. The fame that brings David Byrne of Talking Heads to your shows. When his name came up, Boucher was absolutely ecstatic, like an excited little puppy. “The tour in America was fucking insane. David Byrne being there was crazy. I kinda wish I knew he was there before the show… But then again if I did, I probably would’ve been really nervous.”
http://fbiradio.com/interview-grimes

Lol David Byrne is a Grimes fan.

>Who Says Girls Can't Find Music? We Talked to the Female A&R Who Signed Grimes

>Because of the internet, there’s so much information all the time. It’s not about when you hear about someone, it’s about when they grab your attention so hard you can’t ignore it anymore. With Grimes, I was already aware of her, she’d made two albums and an EP. I was on my way to Pop Montreal, and I met her manager at the time, who ran the label she was on, and found out that they were looking for a partnership, someone that they could work with outside of Canada. Her music at that point was not obviously commercial, so they were talking to independent labels. There were a lot who really liked her, but I remember Claire saying we were pretty much the only ones who would take Visions and put it out just as it was, other labels apparently asked for her to rework it with a producer.

>The other thing I would say about Grimes is that there was so much happening around her at that time that I assumed she was already working with a bigger label. The first time I went to see her play and I was kicking myself for missing that opportunity. It was the best show I’d seen for a new artist at that time. The next day I met her manager and they said they were looking for partners and I literally ran back to my room to email my boss her record. What I’m trying to say is that you don’t need a label anymore to get things started, a good label will enhance what you are already doing. By the time Claire was signed, she was already releasing records on a small imprint, touring and doing interviews, and she had a visual presence. These days, a label has the most impact if you’ve already got the wheels in motion before they’ve got involved.

Do you like her voice? If yes, did you like it on the first listen or it was an acquired taste?

>>69155378
DEFINITELY an acquired taste.


>Earlier in March, Boucher released a video for “Oblivion” (which of all the tracks on Visions bears the most resemblance to a pop single), depicting her singing along to the song in a number of real life situations with real people: in the crowd at a motorcross rally, at the counter of a concessions stand, with a handful of football players, in a locker room with a group of virile young men. Boucher, with her art-school haircut and gender-ambiguous clothing, looks like the odd woman out amongst the drunken spectators. If you look at the background, you can see plenty of people treating her solo karaoke act with a mix of suspicion, derision, and novelty.
>What’s striking, though, is what a genuinely good time she appears to be having. It’s not a knowing “I shouldn’t be here” wink of ironic cultural tourism to the viewer, as could easily happen at the intersection of alternative and mainstream culture, but something more freeing and not self-conscious. There’s a moment about forty seconds in when Boucher is bopping along on headphones while holding a stereo: a stranger accidentally enters the frame and immediately hesitates, pulling himself out of the shot. She begins to laugh without breaking her lip sync and waves him through. It’s an immediately endearing moment, turning the formality of a video shoot into something organic and communal as if to say, It’s no big deal, have some fun!
http://bbook.com/music/understanding-the-post-internet-appeal-of-grimes/

>>69155378
I immediately fell in love with her voice

>>69155427
>There’s an advantage to being so liberal with her time: It gives fans an endless amount of material to recycle and regurgitate, making her a very crowd-sourced pop star for these times. If you take a minute and search the “Grimes” tag on Tumblr, you’ll find a wealth of photographs, videos, animated GIFs, quotes, mp3s, and reposted tweets, all of which never stops spilling outward every time you refresh. This isn’t unique; in fact, it’s basically why social media sites were invented. But just as Boucher’s music is stitched together from a number of sources—a hint of K-Pop here, a touch of industrial there—the wealth of content enables fans to curate an intimately three-dimensional image of what she’s really like.

>>69155445
That's true. She's really interesting and her music is great; these are the main reasons /grimes/ threads exist.

>I had a moment at the Sasquatch Music Festival back in May that flashed at me like a beam of light. Something became crystal clear to me as if Eckart Tolle-enlightened - that life is about one thing: Creating.
>It was the day after I met my now boyfriend John. It was a magical weekend for me, meeting this wonderful music loving mountain man, and staring off into the cathedral-like vistas of the Columbia Gorge. We were standing about 15 people away from 27-year-old Claire Elise Boucher (Grimes) as she prepared to play her midday set. Both John and I were skeptical about the artist. We had heard a few songs and were intrigued, but it was my best friends Erica and Rachel who encouraged me to show up for it.
>As John and I stood there 5 songs in, we realized "Holy Shit, this girl is expressing every fiber of her being right now." That's what we both thought as we crept closer, nodding with acceptance that she was in fact a little bit of a genius; producing and performing something that so clearly came from the most genuine places within her, albeit bizarre. We both wondered about what her parents thought of their sweet girl busting balls, taking names, and pushing limits. As a fellow 27-year-old at the time, I was dumbfounded to see how she showed up that day.
>I looked behind the stage to see the breathtaking view, and then back at the ridiculous crowd of adoring fans, then back at the dancers on stage - and was taken aback. What the fuck is this life? [...] How did this girl have the courage to unload her insides and start growling into microphones like this??
>It was a mix of elation and wonder at the thought of what was possible for us laymen people; all of us still holding back, keeping our insides so neatly tucked in. Why the fuck is it so hard to unleash? What does that glittering gold look like inside all of these people? Surely every single one of those fans has the same magic that Grimes does [...]

Imagine that you were an artist who had worked incredibly hard, that your only dream in life was to one day impact society in a meaningful way. Now, imagine that one day people actually started comparing you to the greats, that you were in fact on your way to achieving just what you set out to from the very beginning but that you'd now realize that you would most likely never attain this honor in their minds, because every time you would go on the internet some bloke would demean you into a mere sex object. Imagine that. Sad, isn't it?

>That’s one of the only happy songs on the album. It’s about physical existence, and sex, and being alive. I’m really opposed to phones, I’m opposed to checking my email. I just think it’s really unflattering that everyone’s always on their computer. ‘Be A Body’ is about physical, sensual existence and about having physical pain and pleasure. It’s about existence. As pretentious as it is, it’s based on a Thomas Aquinas quote where he was trying to talk about how in Medieval Christian thought everyone was super into ‘fuck my life, my physical body is a horrible thing and a representation of sin’, and there’s a passage where Aquinas said “Be a body” and i just thought it was so sick, so bad-ass that he would just say that, just give that straight-up imperative. He was a hip guy.

Thoughts?

>>69160795
no it isn't. i proved it with my car analogy. their body is just an object that belongs to them just like if they were to own a car. a person is not their body and you are objectifying them if you try to reduce their worth to their physical appearance by claiming commenting on their body is commenting on them as a person.

now you're just making assumptions and imagining things.

doesn't matter wether male or a female. if you're a male artist, you would surely rather have people discuss your artwork as opposed to the shape and size of your penis.

>>69161867
it's a scientific fact that societies are becoming more emotionally detatched due to the many electronical gadgets. there's nothing fundamental about making an observation of that and putting it into your artwork.
