Grimes announced today via Instagram that the video for “Venus Fly” will be released tomorrow, Feb. 2, exclusively on Tidal. “Venus Fly” is a collaboration between Grimes and Janelle Monáe from Grimes’ 2015 album Art Angels, which received widespread acclaim. Grimes also posted a short clip of the video on her Instagram, and it looks every bit as wild as we’d hope it to be. Grimes responded on Twitter to the many people grumbling about the decision to make the video a Tidal exclusive:
re: people who r angry about the music vid being exclusive to Tidal -they are patrons of the arts! without tidal, there would be no video ????
