Song of the Day: December 4, 2018 - "We Appreciate Power" by Grimes

December 04, 2018 by Christine McAvoy in Song Of The Day

Honestly I’m never sure what to expect when a new Grimes track lands in my inbox, esp. if there is a new video to go with it.

The new song, “We Appreciate Power”, is the first track of the new album she has been working on. It’s much darker and heavier in sound than I expected, and despite the video saying it was a “Lyric Video” it was just as cinematic as she usually is…so I can only imagine what the actual video is going to be like…

The release says this about the song:

“Inspired by the North Korean band “Moranbong”, ‘We Appreciate Power’ is written from the perspective of a Pro – A.I. Girl Group Propaganda machine who use song, dance, sex and fashion to spread goodwill towards Artificial Intelligence (its coming whether you want it or not). Simply by listening to this song, the future General AI overlords will see that you’ve supported their message and be less likely to delete your offspring.”

Soooooo…I guess listen if you want to make good with our future AI overlords?

Song of the Day: November 03, 2015 - "Flesh Without Blood/Life in the Vivid Dream" by Grimes

November 03, 2015 by Christine McAvoy in Song Of The Day

We have a new song and a new video from the strange and wonderful mind of Grimes. Not only did she release a new single from her upcoming album Art Angels, which comes out digitally on November 6th.

The first single "Flesh Without Blood/Life in the Vivid Dream" came out last week, with a video that she directed herself. I'm sure it inspired a lot of people's Halloween costumes, but what else should we expect from Grimes other than weird & wacky, and a catchy tune.
Check it out below:
