Claire Boucher burst onto the scene and into our hearts with her breakthrough album, Visions. Ever since then, we’ve been eager to see what she will be up to next. These are a few of the many reasons why we are fascinated with the incredibly talented Grimes.
1. Her music: Grimes’ singing style is like no other. She takes classical elements and pairs them with electronic, lo-fi undertones that make for something truly magical. Listening to her music is a different experience than listening to your usual electronic artist, and we like it that way. The style she plays and loops makes her sound so full, like there are hundreds of her when in fact there is only one.
2. Her style: Grimes is not one to have the same look for very long. Sometimes she dresses like Sailor Moon, and she frequently changes her hair color and style. Grimes is a chameleon and looks amazing with everything she does. Personal favorites include the pink bangs and thick braids. She knows style.
3. The switch from 4AD to Roc Nation: When we saw the picture of Grimes throwing up the Roc Nation sign via Tumblr last month, we were surprised. To leave the very successful label 4AD for Roc Nation was a bold switch. However, the move to a more mainstream label will open new doors and avenues for her music and be something great.
4. Her own version of veganism: Grimes is true to herself. She has talked about being a vegan before, but if she wants to eat Ben & Jerry’s because it makes her happy, then she’s going to do it. When she posted a photo of herself with Scotchy Scotch Scotch saying “1 day hiatus from veganism is being had starting NOw,” her fans and fellow vegans lashed out against her.
