Celeb News: Grimes to drop album with day's notice; out this month

Boucher can’t reveal the final name of the album, planning to make this announcement the day before it hits iTunes in October. “Lyrically, it’s more political and less abstract than before,” she explains. “Like, really trippy free association about nature and ****. There’s a song that’s from the perspective of a butterfly in the Amazon as people are cutting down trees; there’s a song that’s from the perspective of angels who are polluted, so they’re crying polluted tears. I feel like it’s more about the Earth. I think I was more in society when I was making it, so it feels more grounded.”

(...)

Yet judging by her new song, “Flesh Without Blood”, Boucher may have a problem on her hands. Following this year’s hook-driven demo “REALiTi”, it’s a soaring, instantly replayable power-pop kiss-off (actually directed at a female) that could well have been written by a crack team of Swedish pop masterminds. “I don’t think it sounds like the current Top 40,” she says, sceptically. “You’re the first person who’s said that.” Whether she likes it or not, it seems primed to be her “Umbrella” moment, cementing her trajectory from cult phenomenon into a pop superstar.

Grimes’ fourth album is out in October

So despite her comments from a few days ago, the album will indeed be in October, presumably just before 10/24. Nice to get more details on FWB.

She made it sound like the album was being delayed and only a few songs would be out, now it's confirmed to be the full album, and the precise release details.

All I ever wanted was more of RealiTi's magic. Now we're getting polluted angels and butterfly's in the Amazon. And "personal" is either win or lose, nothing in between. I'm worried.

Same, I would be lying if I said I have concerns. Not based on the comments in this interview so much, but based on the few comments she has made throughout the year. Stuff like how the things she was working on at the time 'Realiti' and 'David' were made are too dark/depressing and that they were scrapped because of that. I believe she also made a comment several months back that the music on the album are more in the same vein as 'Entropy'... which I'm not really here for.

I'm still keeping faith because this is one of my absolute most anticipated albums of the year, and she has created so much great music in the past. I think it's just the fact that we have no music to go on for this album and that the two songs we have heard are either not being included (David) or have been described as 'not really fitting the album' (Realiti).

All of this! But when I think about It, It's refreshing to not know ANYTHING about an upcoming album. We know nothing and we will find out when she's dropping the album. I'm looking forward to It and I hope and pray that I will like It.

So so so excited for this

Citrus

I'm so pumped

the way she has described this album sounds very manic and...... idk Visions was so left field and that aided what made it so good, she has a lot more riding on this album

really hope she can deliver but i'm worried

Suilen
