I guess label or managers pushing on her.

 

Grimes Shares Plans for “Highly Collaborative” Final Album on Her “Shit Label”

 

it sucks how many artists are fucked over by their labels (Grimes, Charli, Tinashe,Jojo,.. those are just off the top of my head I'm sure there are a lot more)

 

I’m so hyped for whatever she does next. That headline made me think she wasn’t going to release anything beyond the next album but I’m glad it’s not the case.

 

Yeah that sounds great to me. Looking forward to anything she does.

 

This "Highly Collaborative" album has me worried. It's great that we'll be getting two Grimes albums in the not too distant future. But I don't want the follow-up to Art Angels to sound like a rushed and compromised album, released just to fulfill contract obligations.

The dark and ethereal album was what I was looking forward to, and it's a pity that 4AD won't release it. Which is baffling in that the early history of 4AD is defined by dark, ethereal, experimental music.

 

The whole thing seems like a really bizarre situation

 

Nothing is straightforward with Grimes

My guess is that 4AD isn't in good shape financially at the moment, and that they're looking for a cash windfall of sorts. Grimes is the artist with the most pop potential on the label, and they were counting that she would continue on in a more commercial direction from Art Angels. One of the goals of record labels is to make money after all, even indies like 4AD.

However Grimes being Grimes did the opposite and quite likely delivered a far less commercial album than Art Angels. This went completely against the expectations of the label and the label were determined to get their own way. This meant trying to compromising her artistic freedom, something which she would not tolerate. This is what I think led to this whole situation.

 

Honestly fuck 4AD for treating Grimes this way. She deserves all the artistic freedom in the world, she's completely self made and does everything herself top to bottom, the label trying to intervene is just going to harm what everyone loves about Grimes in the first place. Can't wait til she's out of her contract and able to do what she wants to do

 

Grimes Has “A Deep Well Of Shit,” Promises More Consistent Music Releases After Fulfilling Label Contract

 

Damn today is the first I heard about all this bullshit. I'm so miffed.

 

I wonder will she go completely DIY after her contract with 4AD is fulfilled. A possibility is that she could release music on her own label eerie organization.

 

Hope she puts out a buncha new shit once its fulfilled. Love me some new grimes

 

can't fucking wait

 

Who is that in the picture?

 

Grimes and Poppy.

 

Oh shit niiice.

 

I have mixed feelings because of the whole Poppy scandal going on currently

 

Whoa.

 

I had no idea who Poppy was until a couple of weeks ago. From what I've read on the lawsuit, I doubt she's done anything wrong herself. It's that other guy.

I'm more interested in this:

David is the best Grimes song never released. If she does eventually release an official version, I hope she doesn't alter the overall vibe of the song like she did with REALiTi. I just want something close to this:
