Fka Twigs > Grimes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYC Ci

i am racist though

>>69334810
so how come she has no threads on mu but grimes has like a dozen bitch

>>69334810
its only relevant with Beyoncé

>>69334823
she doesn't need 5-6 fat virgins to spam her on a chinese imageboard

Reminder she was nominated for a grammy :)

>>69334839
this
slaaaaaaaayy

>>69334818
Oh. Well keep preferring Grimes over Fka Twigs then.

Good day, sir.

>>69334810
>If you disagree you are a racist
You needed to put that crap because you're well aware that Art Angels is superior. The joke's on you, pal.

>>69334810
desu they are different genres
Early Grimes was more on avant pop, and although I can see how AA is similar to mainstream synthpop, Grimes is still a more experimental musician than her
So yeah, it's like comparing Bowie to Death Grips based solely on Blackstar

>>69334810
They sound nothing alike, why even make the comparison?

>>69336307
Maybe because the OP is a prick. He knows very well that Grimes is the selling point of this thread (her name is used as bait). Just how many replies this thread would get without her being mentioned?

I'm a racist and I agree.
Twigs is so far beyond Grimes it's not really fair to compare them.

>Twigs is so far beyond Grimes it's not really fair to compare them.
You mean behind her. You can't seriously claim that dull R&B singer with weak songs and weak voice (she almost has no voice) is better than the music prodigy Claire Boucher. FYI, this is what Joanna Newsom said about Grimes:

>Interviewer: What young artists do you feel an affinity with? I heard you're a Kendrick fan.
>Joanna Newsom: I loved the latest Bjork album, I'm excited about the idea of Grimes. I haven't wrapped my head around the record. I find her so compelling and so unlike anybody else and so incredibly talented, skilled, and fun. I love her. I met her in LA a few months ago, she told me something along the lines of, "I grew up listening to your music". I will say, it made me feel really old for about five minutes, then it made me feel really happy. I was like well, I guess I'm old now, but that's okay because this awesome and amazing young musician likes my music and said that it was special to her when she was younger, so that's great.

>I’m super excited that Grimes is getting so much attention for her amazing production too because she’s super, super talented. And she does everything! She produces completely on her own.

>In terms of people today, as I said, I’m a little out of the loop, but I have noticed I’m really excited by the way that Grimes frames herself, and seems utterly disinterested in her own beauty, which is really exciting to me. Sometimes it’s useful for an idea, and then other times it’s not useful for an idea, and she seems unaffected either way. I like her music as well, and I like what she says.

Joanna is right, you are wrong.

No, it's like comparing two generic fucking alternative pop artists you mongoloid

I never thought I'd see a patrician counterpart of Grimes.

Thanks, OP.

>>69336757
Good b8. FKA is a patrician when I'll be the Pope. Never.

>>69336744
So, just like Grimes?

>le funny ad hominem xd

:^) shiggerino diggerino m8

>>69336829
Nope. Grimes' music has style and substance. Behind the studio trickery there are amazing songs. You could perform her songs on acoustic guitar and they will still sound great. Check this Oblivion cover: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SuYh9d_uBs

>>69336893
but grimes isn't avant pop
this is avant pophttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ux3u31SAeEM

>>69336744
*Her songs couldn't stand alone

Eh I'm a racist but I agree

>>69336932
Both Art of Noise and Grimes are avant pop. e.g. Compare Symphonia IX with Moments in Love.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsbiyvpel54

They're one the same page regarding avant pop. In fact Grimes could be even more avant pop than AON: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_hFrJ-FM2o How many similar songs to Omega did you ever hear in your life?

>>69336893
I'm not even gonna signify this with a legitimate response

you don't even know what stratosphere avant pop is in if you think Grimes or FKA apply

>>69336932
No, I mean, I understand avant pop is 60-70's, but I mean it in the sense she is the contemporary measure of those musicians
She's more avant "synthpop" then, if you will

>>69336996
>Reasonable arguments? No, I'm not gonna dignify you with an "reasonable argument" you fucking pleb

But Full of Fire doesn't sound like Omega at all. Did you even listen to that little tune?

>>69337079
This vaporware crap is more avant pop than Grimes? Lmfao! You fell for the vaporware meme. Get some taste in electronic music.

if anything this clip proves how terrible of a musician is grimes because this guy blew her away

Solve this paradox.

BTW, did you hear about Franz Ferdinand? They covered Oblivion too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsJ67kzU8G0

>>69337052
Sophie, Julia Holter, fuck even Jenny Hval are all far ahead in terms of "art/avant pop"

>>69337132
holy fucking shit are you even real? Ferraro isn't vaporwave at all outside of FSD

delusional retard

>>69337665
Julia Holter could be called better because her discography is more extensive. Sophie's made like four good songs, and Jenny Hval is a hack.

>>69337665
>Sophie
Bubblegum crap with zero artistic value. K-Pop for hipsters.

>Julia Holter
Decent, yet bland. Many of her songs are way more normal than Grimes. Compare Circumambient with Feel You.

>Jenny Hval
>avant pop
Is this crap even pop? It sounds like shit.

>>69337715
>being this mad
Ferraro is crap. Deal wit it.

>>69337744
Julia Holter doesn't have many good songs. Her songwriting is pretty poor. She relies more on atmosphere and lyrics than on actual tunes.

>>69337665
Not to mention albums such as Shaking the Habitual, Black Metal, Quarantine, Half Free, Badlands, Sirens, Third Side of Tape, and the The ArchAndroid(not avant-pop but infinitely more adventurous than any of Grimes' shite)

I would argue that FKA Twigs' M3LL155X is actually pretty good but her other releases prove that particular work as a fluke.

hmm?

>>69334810
I like FKA Twigs. I don't like Grimes. I'm not a racist.

Checks out.

>>69337762
SOPHIE is a better producer in every way. Grimes even said she liked his music.

>>69337859
I bet you wrote them anyway.

>>69337845
All of these albums are way worse than anything by Grimes. You like these albums because you prefer non-melodic muh experimental crap. The actual good music is the one that combines pop and experimental. See any great music of the past, from Bach to Kraftwerk, from Joy Division to Nirvana, from Frank Sinatra to Aphex Twin, from Vivaldi to My Bloody Valentine. Ask yourself what they have in common and why people remember them. Hint: catchy music with experimental elments.

>>69334810

Yeah, maybe try listening to the albums before you go on vacuous poptimist rants

>you have no clue what you are talking about

Don't try to move the goalposts. That song is from that era when The Knife actually did good music, not that STH wankery.

>>69338025
I listened to them. e.g. Quarantine has an awful singing and no memorable tunes at all. I'm not impressed by muh experimental that anyone could do it anyway, I want good tunes or gtfo.

>>69338032
again you have no clue.
stop posting this is embarrassing

>>69338064
It's embarrassing to you and I don't give a fuck about you.

>>69338059
How is Laurel Halo's voice any worse than Grimes', which sounds likes Alvin and the Chipmunks high on reverb? It's maybe a bit bombastic but it's by no means bad.

Quarantine has plenty of catchy vocal tunes, contributing to the the more experimental and scattered production well. Tumor, Years, Light + Space, Thaw, etc. In addition you have a lot of songs akin to a more experimental Aphex Twin as well. It's not perfect but it's miles better than Grimes' generic and superficial synthpop

>inb4 w-w-well what sounds like it.
I'll concede that nothing sounds exactly like Grimes but you could say that for many better and worse artists than Grimes. Derivative and generic are not synonyms. For example, Camera Obscura's Let's Get Out of this Country is an album I would call derivative not neccessarily generic, as the music's lush instrumentation ensures there's a lot of layers. Therefore, while Grimes' music is sort of her own, it is still bland and gratituous.

>>69338363
>How is Laurel Halo's voice any worse than Grimes', which sounds likes Alvin and the Chipmunks high on reverb? It's maybe a bit bombastic but it's by no means bad.
Laurel's voice is annoying. Almost like nails on a blackboard. Say what you will about Grimes, but voice is actually very expressive, unique and comfy.

Watch this

Now tell me, which voice was more pleasant and emotional? Which artist performed better? Which song is better?
