this is literally just Prince if Prince had been a gross asexual

Its just purity ring if purity ring had a more marketable image

so "this is literally prince if prince had a different sexuality, clothing style, music style, and sex"

not quite

Since when did being compared to Prince become a bad thing?

How can a song be better than a person?

>>71232516

>>71231651
10/10 song

>>71232527
How can a song be better than 39 albums?

>>71232586
to be fair the back half of his discography is garbage

grimes is not asexual and not hipster

>>71234914
Grimes is hipster 101 and all things point to her being asexual.

>>71234946
What things?

bollocks. her music is not asexual, just listen to heartbeats, vowels = space and time, be a body, skin, pin, etc.

it's weird. the op wanted to insult her but he compared her to prince (and that's a compliment). i have no idea wtf is the op's real position, hater or fan. to claim that grimes is asexual is plain wrong.

>What particular trauma was ‘Be A Body’ about?
>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.

>So it’s a celebratory song.
>Yes, but it’s also an assault. It’s me being aggressive.

"gross asexual hipster goth chick" sounds like an insult. why some /mu/ users think it's ok to insult her daily; just because she's a female? why these idiots talk so much about her look but barely say a word about her work?

>>71238024
That's not insulting her music.

>>71238034
just like i said, it was insulting her as a person. lowly ad hominem attacks.

>>71238099
That doesn't make OP's comparison an insult.

>>71238118
it does. trolls usually insult her appearance. an insult is an insult. shame this board is driven by hate not positivity.

>>71238155
You can think an artist is gross and still like their music.

>>71231651

Yeah it's totally like prince in that she's a multi instrumentalist who plays multiple genres like lead rock guitar and slap funk bass

What's more, Grimes often openly incorporates grossness into her art/music/persona (see pic related.)

You have no idea about her instruments and skills.

>Instruments:
- vocals
- synthesizer
- sampler
- guitar
- bass
- drums
- violin
- ukulele

>Skills:
- singer
- songwriter
- producer
- sound engineer
- lyricist
- live performer
- visual artist
- music video director & editor
- dancer
- model

>You have no idea about her instruments and skills.
>assuming everything people say on /mu (eg. >>71238366 ) is ironic

>>71231651
Except for the fact that Prince was a skilled musician with the ability to play multiple instruments and make classic records.

>inb4 muh art angels, muh violin on laughing and not being normal

not the op, but you suck for being such a shallow prick. grimes is also a skilled musician, more skilled at some instruments than the others. i doubt that prince could surpass her at the synths and samplers department. btw, don't invoke "classic records" when you're comparing a new artist with someone with decades long career.

>inb4 muh art angels, muh violin on laughing and not being normal
she didn't play just violin. the list:
- synths
- samplers
- guitar
- bass
- drums
- violin

6 instruments (7 if you include vocals) is more than enough to qualify as a multi-instrumentalist.

>>71238831
>>inb4 muh art angels, muh violin on laughing and not being normal
>posting a list of things that invalidate your point at the same time as attempting to make your own point
Anon, are you ok?

>>71238831
>make classic records
That's yet to be determined and he didn't know they would be classics. We'll see.
Prince was a musical savant, much like Grimes, in as much as they just "get it".

This. These 2 musicians had a deep understanding about melodies, rhythm, songwriting and production. They knew how to push the right buttons in their music to make a song as great as possible.

Grimes clearly studied about the impact of the soundwaves on the brain:
>Audie Cornish: I read that you actually studied neuroscience in college? Or just the sciences generally?

>Grimes: Actually, I was in a program at McGill called Electroacoustics, where we studied a lot of how the brain interacts with music. So by the time I actually started making music, I kind of had an understanding of frequencies and kind of how the brain responds to things, which I think really helped me as a producer: Even though I had no experience playing instruments and stuff, I kind of had a basic understanding of engineering. My learning curve was maybe a tiny bit shorter than maybe someone who hadn't studied that stuff.
